Coronavirus: White House task force members self-isolate
BBC News ^ | May 10, 2020

Posted on 05/10/2020 2:22:47 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Three members of the White House coronavirus task force are self-isolating for two weeks after possible exposure to the illness.

Dr Anthony Fauci, who has become the public face of the fight against the virus in the US, is one of those who will go into quarantine.

The 79-year-old will work from home for the time being and will be regularly tested, the institute said.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr Robert Redfield and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Stephen Hahn are also self-isolating.

In a statement, the CDC said Dr Redfield, 68, had no symptoms and was not feeling unwell, but would also be teleworking for two weeks after "low risk exposure" to someone at the White House. It is unclear who this person is.

And an FDA spokesman told Reuters news agency on Friday that 60-year-old Stephen Hahn was also self-isolating. He has also tested negative, the spokesman said.

Sure. Whatever. We know the heat is getting hot on them for their wicked ways.

Just more lies from the LIARS.

Trying to get sympathy? Ha! Not happening.

Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect patent dollars.

I'm still waiting for them to get fired and don't care to hear anything out of their lying mouths or see their smirking lying faces.

“Empirical evidence proves wearing mask works.”

No it doesn’t. And don’t bother quoting Japan’s stats. We don’t know if their little maskies have anything to do with the relatively low number of cases and deaths.

Japanese rarely physically touch each other casually, and are known for their hygiene. They also don’t have very many immigrants at all, and no communities of 90-IQ people who can’t adapt to biosafety protocol.

That has nothing to do with wearing or not wearing masks.

Oh, and as for “90 IQ people”? Mine is 170. Now go virtue-signal to someone else.

Yes, and put .00057 population of mature Asian Carp in a river and shortly you have this:

Seriously? Don’t be obtuse... Wearing mask has saved Japan (One of the most densely populated land masses on earth) from the calamity of death that has gripped America and especially New York with 1/12 the population of Japan and 19,818 deaths, and to imply that wearing mask hasn’t saved lives is complete balderdash... Otherwise there would be no healthcare workers left to drag out the dead from New York city hospitals.

Wearing mask saves lives.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Hope POTUS and his true inner circle have suspected as much.

Just what do you call “biosafety protocol”? Are you talking about the fascist governors’ draconian and completely unnecessary overreach? Are you talking about Fauci’s protocol of shutting us down for the foreseeable future? The main reason we are in the middle of this CF is too many people panicking and blindly following these “biosafety protocols”. My hat’s off to anyone who called BS on this whole government power grab before it became obvious to anyone with at least a 90 IQ.

I'll put their masks on for them.

I'll also drive them to the nursing home and watch as they get the ventilator shoved down their wicked throats.

You’re bound to run out of bodies eventually.... All the vulnerable seniors in New York city are pretty much dead by now.

Could this be a face saving way of Trump benching these three task force members? If Birx has a similar situation it would be a good sign.

Yep...Fauci doing 2 weeks is the defeatist, fade into the sunset...they know they can’t beat PDJT. I view this as anecdotally verrry positive. He could take a simple test...nope. vanish...hoping we forget. They also know they lost on the vaccine thing...they think we can’t read their moves...that is their arrogance.

I’ve always said that dying doesn’t make a scumbag more virtuous but it does make them more tolerable.
