(CNN)Dr. Robert Redfield, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will self-quarantine for two weeks after he was exposed to a person at the White House who tested positive for Covid-19, a CDC spokesperson confirmed to CNN.

The Washington Post first reported Redfield's action.
"CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield has been determined to have had a low risk exposure on May 6 to a person at the White House who has COVID-19. He is feeling fine, and has no symptoms. He will be teleworking for the next two weeks," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson noted that "in the event Dr. Redfield must go to the White House to fulfill any responsibilities as part of White House Coronavirus Task Force work, he will follow the safety practices set out by the CDC for those who may have been exposed."

So the head of the CDC will self quarantine, but trump and Pence will just keep on spreading the virus?

1. Wonder who could be out a job next?

I say this in jest but perhaps that part of DC could be frozen by a massive traffic jam then crews move in to build a wall to enclose the miscreants in a quarantine.

2. It's coming from the tumbleweed atop Trump's head.

3. A good place for SARS-COV-2 to hide and nourish itself on whatever that is up there. nt

7. I saw that

and his new press secretary said the vets "wanted to be there"! As usual, trump didn't give a damn about the vets, he wouldn't wear a mask. If it was anyone else but trump, they would have been quarantined for 2 weeks so they COULDN't infect anyone else.

5. I guess while he is at it, Pence can go visit some more nursing homes?

8. Well part of Pence's job

is kissing trump's butt, so he never wears a mask, he wants to make trump happy!

Like trump he just doesn't care about others!

11. I just saw that over on CNN

Maybe they are all trying to get a break from trump and his continuous BS and lying about everything connected to the pandemic.

Of course maybe the whole damned administration is testing "positive"!
