Fair will also meet with a pulmonologist again as well as a tropical medicine doctor, since he has spent time in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Fair added that many people have gotten in touch with him to share similar stories about showing COVID-19 symptoms but testing negative for the virus. On Twitter, he wrote that he was "humbled" by his experience, and will keep looking for answers "in an effort to diagnose what made me so ill."
Bet you oodles of money that those same folks have shown up in the statistic as having CoVid - and shown up each time they were retested. Maybe at some point some entity or researcher will comb through the US stats and figure out the true story.

Is it too much to ask that you do your own google search? I really hate when people don't try to dismiss or concur with something because they are too lazy to check the information presented themselves just because they don't like the source someone posts.

The only conservatives I didn't mind was Greg Gutfeld and Tyrus the few times I would watch The Five on Fox. The problem for me is that they defend the indefensible. It is like watching a football or baseball game and the announcers cannot be bothered to talk about errors of the team they are commentating for when it is just blatant. This is why I don't watch RT America on YouTube and trust me, I watched a lot even into 2016 since they were giving third party candidates a fair shake.

The problem is I often see the MSM lampooned here and questionable conservative outlets like the one in the OP are defended. The article credited a guy who was a former CNN and NBC reporter who later went to The Blaze and a few other outlets before starting a newsletter that he admitted he didn't want to make political, but sometimes it would get political and he uses a marginal claim that a correspondent didn't really get Covid-19 with no proof. Yet we are to believe that?
That’s rich coming from a left winger who soaks up every story that trashes the POTUS with unnamed sources and treats them all like fact.

Do you trust left wing rags?

If so how did they, or any you view as credible, report the story?

Progressives aren't to keen on doing the heavy lifting. They want others to shoulder the load.

The "right wing rags" have not been caught publishing outright lies nearly as often as the left wing DNC mouthpieces like CNN, WaPo and NYT.
