「Anglosphere」山姆叔叔的独家特效药：川普的病毒抗体检测结果连续为阴 ♡ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔ

国会山报：川普的检测结果连续多日为阴性

President Trump has tested negative for COVID-19 on an antigen test, his doctor said Monday as the president jetted off to Florida for his first campaign rally since being diagnosed with the virus.

White House physician Sean Conley wrote in a memo that Trump tested negative on consecutive days using the Abbott antigen test.

Conley wrote that the negative antigen test was used alongside data such as viral load and RNA samples and Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to determine that Trump is no longer infectious to others.

The doctor had said in a memo on Saturday night that Trump was no longer considered a risk to transmit the virus, though he had stopped short of saying the president had tested negative.

Antigen tests are commonly used in the White House, though they are less sensitive than molecular tests, such as the PCR test. For example, the Food and Drug Administration notes on its website that antigen tests are "more likely to miss an active coronavirus infection compared to molecular tests."

The president was said to have tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 1 with an antigen test and then received a PCR test to confirm the result.

The result indicates that Trump is progressing after his bout with the virus, which has killed roughly 215,000 people in the United States and infected nearly 8 million, though the White House has stonewalled on providing other key details about Trump's case.

The administration still has not said when Trump last tested negative for the virus before he tested positive, a key data point that experts say would help determine who he may have exposed. And Conley has not provided updated information on what, if any, medications Trump is still on. The president was discharged from the hospital one week ago.

The president had a bandage visible on his hand on Saturday when he spoke to supporters at the White House and again on Monday as he boarded Air Force One for a trip to Florida, prompting speculation he may still be receiving intravenous injections. The president did not wear a mask as he boarded the plane.

Trump is set to return to the campaign trail with Monday night's rally in Sanford, Fla., followed by events in Pennsylvania, Iowa and North Carolina on consecutive days.

Campaign officials downplayed any lingering effects the virus may have on Trump, who is 74 and overweight and therefore may be at a higher risk for residual symptoms.

"He is strong. He is energetic. He is raring to go, and I think his campaign calendar reflects his health and well-being and enthusiasm to get back on the trail," campaign manager Bill Stepien told reporters earlier Monday.

撇开各种各样的传闻和政治解读，从川普本身来看，没有人可以怀疑，他的状况大有好转。

加上抗体测试连续为阴性这一结果，显示他体内的病毒感染水平大大降低。先不说别的，但病毒威胁他的生命是近乎不可能了。

这对某些人来说，是好消息，对另一些人来说，是噩耗临头。如果第三场辩论之前，川普拿出了阴性的核酸检测结果，那么拜登无法拒绝。如果拒绝，就成了「歧视感染病毒的幸存者」，那时恐别别说拜登，连整个民主党都不用再必再选了。

但无论如何，佩洛西祭出的，民主党一贯玩儿得转的「宪法体操」，已经彻底落空。

-----------------------------------------------
不管还有没有辩论，不管民主党还有什么说法，玩得出什么花招。这个党，至少是这个党的偏左翼，已经快要走到政治存在意义的尽头，即将踏入文明的反面，化作汤因比笔下的「文明的无产阶级」。

对还看不到这一点，或者说还不想看到这一点的人很不幸的是，升级世界观的时候又到了。这是一个不可能不痛苦的过程。

-----------------------------------------------
话又说回来，已经可以说拿出了独家特效药的美国，究竟处在何等的战略优势地位上，我还不太能找到词来形容。

必须要指出的是，这一「单克隆抗体鸡尾酒」并非疫苗，而是「立即起效」，就算不能「药到病除」，也绝对是「药到命保」的特效药。

绝大多数国家苦候的疫苗，并不是这样的东西，没有这样的效果。对已经感染 SARS-CoV-2 的人来说，疫苗也是没有什么意义的。

这一医疗技术突破，将来对其他的病毒性疾病的治疗前景有何影响，也是难以估计的。

美国，再一次跨过了许多人甚至还没看到，也许此生都还看不到的地平线。
