WASHINGTON - (AP) - Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will quarantine for 14 days after a member of his security detail tested positive Monday for the coronavirus.
The agent had been “in close contact” with Buttigieg, including Monday morning prior to the agent’s positive result, the Transportation Department said in a statement. Buttigieg has since tested negative and has had no symptoms.
“Secretary Buttigieg will take all necessary steps to ensure there is no spread, including quarantining for a period of 14 days, and will continue to follow all other CDC guidelines,” said Laura Schiller, the department’s chief of staff, referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “He received the first dose of the vaccination in recent weeks, and will receive the second dose when his quarantine is completed.”
Following contact tracing protocols, the department said it determined that one other person in the security detail had also been in “close contact” with the agent and will also quarantine for 14 days.
The CDC defines close contact as being within six feet of someone for a total of at least 15 minutes “over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset.”

His Husband, a pillow and something to bite down on. He will be fine.
My first thought.
Oh my, I will sleep good tonight!
He selected the men for the security, I ASS-sume
Check for STDs.
To secure de tail???
“His Husband” does not compute.
Why does Butthole need a security detail?
This is too easy.. The jokes write themselves... :)
Was the agent in front of or behind Butgig?
Buggering his own security detail?
Fauci says that Heterosexual AIDS will be a big problem someday. He doesn’t say that as much as he did 35 years ago but...
I still have a feeling this is a dystopian science fiction movie we’re in. “Former Mayor Pete” is in a cabinet level position of responsibility now? The country is in such serious trouble it’s too much to stand.
Swabs away

It’s just as well - he knows nothing about the job he has.
Buttigieg is taking this seriously. I hear he’s requested hourly COVID testing:
