Vice President Mike Pence is self-isolating away from the White House following his press secretary's diagnosis of Covid-19 on Friday, said three people familiar with the situation.

The vice president didn't attend a meeting on Saturday with President Donald Trump and top military officials.

Pence tested negative for coronavirus infection on Sunday, one of the people said. He and Trump have been tested regularly. He's staying at his home at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington out of an abundance of caution, said the people, who asked not to be identified because his isolation hasn't been publicly announced.


Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. Miller is the primary spokeswoman for the White House coronavirus task force, which Pence leads and which last met on Thursday.

Breaking 1 down 1 2 go...

Thoughts 'n prayers...



On 1st edit: Made a link correction. Edit #3: Bloomberg changed their original report seen above due to:
On 2nd edit: CNN reported pence will not self-isolate and will thus keep putting at risk other people's health and perhaps even potentially provoke their death... what a disgusting sycophant!!

[not fooled]

1. Now let's see red don go swagger around

at some factory or other gathering, where no one is wearing masks.

C'mon, donnie, I dare ya. Whatsa matter, scared of a little virus?

[Lock him up.]

[Lock him up.]

7. Fixed (thank you)

6. I thought so after I read he was not at the Nat. Security meeting yesterdy-which he always attends.

But nothing on the news about vp quarantines himself till now.

[riversedge]

8. I do not understand why this a secret. Why not just announce his isolation. DRAMA queens in

in the WH running this country!!

[Cozmo]

9. This administration "pooh-poohs" the need for more testing yet...

They're testing THEMSELVES at a moments notice.

[George II]

10. CNN is now reporting that he won't self-quarantine. Sure, infect everyone else.

[sfstaxprep]

11. The WH Is Denying This Report

They are saying that Pence will be at the WH on Monday, and is definitely not self-isolating.

He's a Warrior.

12. It sure would stink if he was MIA. It would look like he might be infected and or showing symptoms.

I mean if Miller tested positive but Pence still went to meet with the Supermarket CEO's, what would have had to happen to make him then go self isolate?

13. Either told Trump see ya later asshat OR....he has the virus

[IggleDuer]

14. What about Mother?

N/T

[mahina]

15. As another DUer said- warmer, warmer, colder! Ok warmer...

[oldsoftie]

16. Can we get Trump to self isolate until November?

[Harry Walpurgisnacht]

18. Ya Know, Donnie, Just to be Extra EXTRA Safe, You Should Self-Isolate, Too

I was thinking, ah, well, maybe the Earth's Core! I checked with Hell, but they won't take you. "Excuse me," the demonic receptionist said, "But we do have SOME standards!"

[Bengus81]

19. Now CNN reporting Pence won't isolate. Guess Donnie said nope,no can do Mikey

Trump would rather have him infect others than come up missing. Nice.............

[regnaD kciN]

20. Yep. I'm sure the Mango Mussolini let his underling know...

…that it would be "bad messaging" while the administration is telling everyone else to man up and risk their lives for his re-election chances.

[Lock him up.]

21. Well, maybe he thinks he is infected too so might as well...

die all together

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Or maybe he has it and still exposed many others this past week.

23. Shouldn't he be fired and lose his benefits for refusing to work?

Shouldn't he be fired and lose his benefits for refusing to work?

After all, he does not have coronavirus and the gov't is open for business.

[aggiesal]

24. Hasn't he been self isolating for 3 1/2 years? n/t
