Trump on his latest coronavirus test: ‘I tested positively toward negative’
President Trump on Thursday disclosed the results of his most recent coronavirus test, telling reporters he “tested positively toward negative.”
Trump has had trouble in the past with medical terminology regarding test results. A letter released by his personal physician in 2015 — which the doctor later said was dictated to him by Trump — said his recent physical exam “showed only positive results.” For the past several weeks, the president and Vice President Mike Pence have been tested daily after Trump’s personal valet and Pence’s spokeswoman each tested positive for the virus, which has infected more than 1.
The president said he is a day away from completing a two-week regimen of hydroxychloroquine, which was prescribed after consultation with the White House physician.Trump also dismissed a study, published this week by infectious disease modelers at New York’s Columbia University, that showed some 36,000 lives could have been saved if the White House had imposed restrictions to stop the spread of the virus a week earlier than it did.
Trump issued an executive order in late January blocking entry to the United States from anyone who had been in China in the previous 14 days.
