US President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien has just announced (and the president has retweeted this) that Trump will be holding a campaign rally on Thursday instead of debating Joe Biden, after Trump refused to agree to hold a virtual debate.
The statement says that by the time of the debate (Thursday next week), “ Trump will have posted multiple negative tests” which appears to be the closest statement yet to saying that Trump has not yet tested negative for coronavirus since testing positive:
By the time of the debate “Trump will have posted multiple negative tests” – the closest thing yet to an admission that he hasn't yet tested negative.
Stepien: "We’ll pass on this sad excuse to bail out Joe Biden and do a rally instead."
One of the drugs taken by that he has touted as a potential “cure” for coronavirus was developed using human cells originally obtained from an elective abortion, a practice repeatedly denounced by the president and many of his supporters.
The drug is a monoclonal antibody cocktail developed by Regeneron. The president received an 8-gram infusion under a “compassionate use” exemption when he was hospitalized over the weekend after testing positive for Covid-19. There is no cure for Covid-19, and the drug is not approved.
