Trump, Meadows says in the book, returned a negative result from a different test shortly after the positive.
I guess the point is that false positives happen and probably often.
The rapid antigen (15-20 minutes) tests have a relatively high (several percent, not several 10s of percent) false positive
and false negative rate. That would have been known at the time (September 2020), and Trump would have been thus advised (if he didn't already know it). The possibility that the "positive" might have been a false positive might have been the reason Trump was tested again just 3 days later. Or maybe it was the day before or of the debate.
mal's point was that Trump had not taken Covid seriously (the ludicrous standard Prog narrative) and endangered
LIEden by being 10 or 30 feet away from
LIEden. The article she quoted, ummmm, complicates her point by mentioning that Trump tested negative "shortly after" the positive.
mal and many other DUmmies are just POed Trump recovered from Covid (and the Regeneron mab treatment Trump received also helped reduce deaths this summer in
Bogey-State Florida,
!
).
