Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will self-quarantine for two weeks after coming in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19 at the White House.

"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," a CDC spokesperson told several media outlets.

The spokesperson added 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."

The CDC did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Hill.

1. Fauci is joining him

pretty soon the entire administration and staff will be hiding out at home to avoid the Supreme Lardass and other RepubliCONS, and they should have done it months ago and left them standing alone.

Today Trump was reported to be hiding out at Camp George West. I'm sure the entire White House Staff and tons of other personnel were hyper disinfecting the entire white house and sterilizing it........

3. Pence and dummy trump should be too.

They could become super spreaders. Wonder if outbreaks have occurred at trump properties from his carelessness , or is he hiding that too.

4. Pence was absent from Nat Sec. meeting yesterday. I saw a tweet about this and

some are wondering where he was.


I agree, Pence to self- quarantine.
