Katie Couric has opted to voluntarily self-quarantine, after she spent time with the head of New York Port Authority just before he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

Bowing to overwhelming pressure from her Twitter followers, the journalist announced the decision, an hour after first saying she would not be staying home.

'Just talked to a @CDCgov official who said I'm very low risk given the duration and nature of contact#,' she reassured followers.

She then added: 'I will be working from home to be safe and make sure if I'm not feeling well I will go to the doctor. Will keep you posted.'

How did the top guy in Port Authority catch it?

Any port in the storm... :P

BTW, the Perkster is a salaried employee. 14 days off is essentially a vacation. And a perfect excuse to make others do the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning. She can take showers as often as she wants and nobody can complain.

And if she's really sick, maybe she can invite Matt Lauer over for a little revenge.

I thought she was dead, or at least retired.

She was pressured into it. So, she'll not keep the resolution. But, it seems to be the new fad, stylish thing to do, self-isolate.

By this time, if cute Katie needed to be told to self isolate, she’s stupid & egotistical. Oh wait we already knew that before the virus.

Mrs. Child has to have her initial consultation on cataract surgery tomorrow. When they called us to confirm the appointment they asked if she had any symptoms of cold or flu. I said no she does not, however I am on the better side of a mild cold. I told a woman that I had no intention of stepping in their office, that I would sit outside for the several hours that all of it would take. That’s because I’m not an idiot Democrat. And while it should, the world doesn’t revolve around me.

The old bat is well over 60, and is in the high risk group.

Sorry, Katy, your Tanqueray and Grey Goose will not kill this bug.

“I should go to my primary care physician immediately”

Holy cow, seriously?

NO. CALL first.

Tell them you were exposed to SARS-COV2 and you are now symptomatic.

Do not go to the office and infect everyone. Sheesh.

Someone brought up the idea that now China could try to infect us whether or not this is a bioweapon

So could Iran.

Why wouldnt they

Some people seem to be super spreaders and others appear not to spread at all.

No one seems to be able to figure this out.

CPAC person would have been shedding that virus over a lot of people. So far none admitting to being sick

WHO is this?

WHAT does she do?

Who cares if she works from home or on the street corner?

Who cares IF she works at all?

Is she an actor or a celeb of some kind?
