Trump’s Doctor Just Released Memo Stating Trump Will NOT Get Tested for COVID-19 and Something is Very Fishy
Donald Trump’s physician said late Friday that Trump will not be tested for the coronavirus at this time because the president had “extremely limited” contact with two people who have tested positive for the virus, the physician said in a memo to the White House.
Trump spent time last weekend at his private club in Florida with a top Brazilian official who later tested positive. And late Friday, news broke that a second person at Mar-a-Lago โ who attended a fundraiser with Trump Sunday โ tested positive, according to two Republican officials who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss private health matters. Several top administration officials, including Attorney General William Barr and Trumpโs daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump, met last week with an Australian Cabinet minister who on Friday was confirmed positive.
“The President’s exposure to the first individual was extremely limited (photograph, handshake), and though he spent more time in closer proximity to the second case, all interactions occurred before any symptom onset,” Dr. Sean P. Conley wrote in the memo. “These interactions would be categorized as LOW risk for transmission per CDC guidelines, and as such, there is no indication for home quarantine at this time.”
Earlier on Friday at his press conference in the Rose Garden, Trump said he would probably be tested.

โMost likely, yes,โ Trump told a reporter during an exchange about his recent contact with a Brazilian official who later tested positive for the virus. โNot for that reason, but because I think I will do it anyway.”
โFairly soon, weโre working out a schedule,โ Trump said.

It’s seems very odd that Trump’s doctor would send this memo at almost midnight on a Friday night. Typical news dump time.
It certainly seems Trump doesn’t want to get tested, and people on Twitter had some suggestions for why.
Take a look.

Now that’s just a rumor of course, and there is no news source saying this. But ask yourself, why won’t Trump be tested? He’s the resident* and his health is important to the nation. Why is he so unwilling to take a simple test…all it requires is a quick swab.
Here is the letter Conley wrote that was sent out by the White House at almost MIDNIGHT, when everyone is asleep.
