By Sarah Toy Close Sarah Toy and Daniela Hernandez Close Daniela Hernandez Oct. 25, 2020 8:11 pm ET Vice President Mike Pence has decided not to quarantine despite being deemed a close contact of at least one staff member who tested positive for Covid-19. A White House spokesman said Mr. Pence would follow guidelines for essential personnel.
The CDC recently altered its definition of a close contact for Covid-19 cases, saying it is someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a total of 15 minutes or more over 24 hours. The 16 sectors are considered “so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof,” according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, website.
“Only essential workers performing essential activities should have a potential ability to continue working despite exposure,” he said. “And even if these individuals test negative daily, they may infect others, so must be scrupulous about wearing a mask and maintaining distance.” It takes days for people infected with the novel coronavirus to develop symptoms, likely because the virus can evade the body’s natural defenses against invading pathogens early on in the infection. That gives the virus a window during which it can multiply exponentially, undetected by its human host.
Nah... don’t think so. The health experts & media have pretty much gotten every single prediction wrong. Time to listen to the smart voices that you’ve been silencing. Now that WHO has changed positions, ur silencing them too. From last week .....
Johnny Christian needs to spread the word about his lord and master Trump. Who cares if a few people get sick from the virus? Right VP? Pro-life Pence, as long as you're white.
And other similar experts say protect over 70 year olds and let the rest lead normal lives.
It hasn’t worked any where in the world. Once quarantines are lifted the virus re-emerges but the economic devestaion persists.
Yawn
I’ll be dressing up as the Grim Reaper for Halloween - my wife says it’s the best Trump costume she’s seen. Thankfully, in a few days we will no longer be forced to suffer any more under Trump’s idiotic plan to let let millions die.
Really, this virus will miraculously disappear after the political event on 3rd Nov 2020. This pandemic is being used as a political football. ... Stat Facts... Approx 60 million people die around the world per year. So far in 2020...5.7Million people have died from cancer.
Sure, forget about all the suicides, emotionally ravaged children and adults, the elderly in homes begging to see their families, etc. If you're fearful, stay home and let the rest of us live our lives!
Good Morning Mr. President Today’s US COVID19 Deaths is 230,510 You can ignore the DAILY Moms, Dads & Kids Body Counts caused by YOUR INCOMPETENCE in directing the world’s most powerful Government’s Crisis Response! Sadly they are gone & can no longer speak out... However WE CAN
Biden is running his own race... for 2024. He feels anointed.
Everyone knows this. They know this. They don’t care. They should be arrested.
Pence is a DISGRACE...but more than that is one smarmy HYPOCRITE!
Hard to embrace the practical steps required to make a difference when your decision making rubric is a Ouija board of self-interest and narcissism...
nope

' quarantining ' is the responsibility of the State Governors ! NOT THE WH !
The jury is still out on this one. Argentina has had one of the longest and strictest quarantines yet they are also among the countries with the highest rates of contagion and deaths due to Covid! I’m all for masks & social distancing, but not sure about quarantines... 🤔
There is no plan to mitigate
Wsj is a sh... Media
Quarantines don’t work, masks don’t work ... go away.
Their concerns assume that Trump and Pence care about anyone except themselves.
Good, let the states enact it. Feds can and should let the states handle it.
FU and your quarantine.
Trump administration would never mandate national mask wearing contact tracing quarantine They are going for herd mentality
I like how you ran this with a picture of a guy who should be quarantining right now. Well played.
SHOULD... lol
