Not on his feed.

Wish people wouldn’t make up Trump tweets when there are so many real ones to use.

His campaign is being extra precautious. There will be no contact with others at all.

He was in a small space with someone who was yelling. It is very similar to the
Washington State choir where people singing for several hours were exposed
at 12 feet and did get sick. I am very concerned.

Biden has earned our trust, so has his team. If he's doing this, he has doctors telling him it's safe to do, period. And we know he and his team will take every precaution necessary.

There's a rightful and just double standard at play here.

It normally takes five to seven days to test positive after exposure. CDC policy is that if you have
been exposed, you quarantine for 14 days. That is what you are supposed to do to protect others.

I pray that he and Jill and others in his campaign remain healthy for themselves and for our
country's future At the same time, I am extremely disappointed that he has made this decision.
How can we ask everyday people to make this sacrifice when our leaders ignore the CDC policy?

Just because he tested negative today doesn’t mean he won’t test positive in the next few days. A friend of mine that is a nurse said you should wait to get tested 4 or 5 days after exposure unless of course you are already exhibiting symptoms. It may take that long for a person to test positive. Happened to my dad.

I also think this is strategically dangerous. He has built his campaign on the foundation of
science. Now he goes against science to continue his campaign. Not a good look.

There was some idiot on my husbands TV yesterday saying Biden should “suspend” his campaign until Trump I don’t know, felt better? I don’t watch much TV so I didn’t catch it all
