Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus on Sunday and is isolating.
In a statement released Monday, Col. Dave Butler, who is a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Milley is experiencing “very minor symptoms” and can perform all of his duties “from a remote location.” According to the statement, Milley has received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and a booster shot.
“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley is working remotely and isolating himself from contact with others after a positive COVID-19 test yesterday.
He is experiencing very minor symptoms and can perform all of his duties from the remote location. He has received the COVID-19 vaccines including the booster.
All other Joint Chiefs of Staff except for one tested negative for COVID-19 yesterday.
Gen. Milley's most recent contact with President Biden was on Wednesday, January 12 at Gen. Odierno’s funeral. He tested negative several days prior to and every day following contact with the President until yesterday.”
The Hill noted that Milley is the second Pentagon official to test positive for COVID-19 this month. On Jan. 2, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, announced he had tested positive for the virus.
In a statement, Austin said his symptoms were “mild” and that he could complete his duties remotely. His staff began contact tracing and testing all of those he came in contact with the week before he tested positive.
“The vaccines work and will remain a military medical requirement for our workforce,” Austin said in his statement. “I continue to encourage everyone eligible for a booster shot to get one. This remains a readiness issue.”
Is the newest variant
the DEM DISEASE?
That sure is too bad.
Throughly Modern Milley
Get him on a ventilator, stat!
May the pox be upon him...
AWWWW....Whadda shame.
Get him to the hospital on the Fauxi medicine and on a ventilator..quickly.
Milley tested positive for the treason virus when he told his ChiCom counterpart he would give him a heads up if the US launched an attack against Beijing.
40 or 50 more boosters ought to do the trick. 2 more decades to flatten the curve!
How’s that readiness working out
Vaccines and boosters may not prevent COVID, but they sure do cause heart damage and ADE
I hope the nasty old toad croaks
Why should anyone care that this perfumed prince has a coke?
I volunteer to administer life saving Remdesiver to General Milley!
It’s a social-ist disease.
Another rare breakthrough /s
Initiate CDC Protocol and they soon will be but memories.
Let me know when he is hospitalized and on a ventilator. All these ‘cases’ with maybe a sniffle or a cough, or completely asymptomatic, are meaningless political kabuki theater, based on a test that is highly inaccurate with many false positives..
I don’t think much of this Milley character, but that aside, who thought we would reach a stage where news reports told us who among us had a cold? What’s next, a daily fart report?
