How does he know that this test isn’t a false positive too? PCR tests have been ruled unlawful in Portugal bc of the extremely high false positive rate. They are not allowed to be used to quarantine people anymore. Maybe the US should look into it too? We need a better test.

He shouldn't have coached during the UGAAthletics game. He risked his health and the team to win a few more games. Why did they allow it? GetUpESPN Espngreeny FirstTake stephenasmith

I’ve got a huge problem with this headline. It’s misleading to say he tested positive twice, but it was later determined the first one was ‘false’. I really don’t see any difference between this and ‘click bait’. This is tacky and cheapens your brand, CNN. Just sayin’.

Hard head.....

Have no worries, the Trump vaccine is in almost every county now

So tested positive once then

SHAME!!!!! The PA hearing don’t warrant a 🚨BREAKING🚨story?!!! You all are trying to hide this from all of America! We won’t forget! You’re garbage!👎🏽

Bias CNN isn’t covering the live hearing of everyday Americans detailing actual personal accounts of election fraud they witnessed first hand at polls! Wait, my bad, y’all only air fake news. Please continue hiding the truth.

The SEC will find a way to get the Nicktator to the sideline on Saturday...

And this time could be a false positive as well.

You think that he would have learned last time

You mean the Clinton news network is capable of posting something that’s not disrespecting our president? Oh my gosh I might faint in amazement!

Drink Lots of water and eat some chicken soup. You will be fine.

Yup but they will never correct the number so all reporting statically is incorrectly reported. February 1st the new administration will have the correct numbers... which will be half of what they are now... just wait
