    "Diagnosed".🤔Unclear wording here. "Diagnosed" aka positive via PCR? Was there an earlier preliminary positive by a different test? When was the first indication of infection? How can this still be so confusing?https://twitter.com/nahaltoosi/status/1312450168768192512 …

        Lemme see. Trump's doctors cannot figure out the number of hours in a day and can't distinguish polyclonal Abs from monoclonal Ab. Then the White House Chief of Staff tries to anonymously contradict the doctors to say things were "dire" but misses cameras were rolling? Come on.

        since they have incinerated any trace of credibility we are all going to read literally everything they put out with our tinfoil hats on. they are also being deliberately cagey about things, which makes it worse. what a god damn mess....

        Reads like they got a positive test but waited for a second PCR to make the official diagnosis.

        They spelled Regeneron wrong. Assuming doctor didn’t even write the memo since:https://twitter.com/saraecook/status/1312456627438592001 …

        NEW: Regeneron spox Hala Mirza tells @CBSNews's @amybirn that it's incorrect to call what the President has received "polyclonal antibodies." “It is two monoclonal antibodies. It was incorrect in the physician’s letter.” https://twitter.com/saraecook/status/1312453848380829696 …

        Also “had received” on Friday does not necessarily mean “received on Friday” in slippery lawyer speak. It means that on Friday he had received the treatment - and it could have been actually received Thursday.

        If it happened Thursday it would still be true that on Friday, he had received it. Can’t figure out what other work the “had” is doing there since they could just say he received it on Friday.
