Breaking: Dr. Fauci Under Self- Quarantine for COVID-19 Exposure
Reports are pouring in that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top epidemiologist and leader of Trump’s coronavirus (COVID-19) on-again/off-again and back- on-again Task Force, announced today that he has placed himself under a “modified quarantine” after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Dr. Fauci said that he came in contact with an actual coronavirus patient, who is a White House staffer. That staffer was "low risk," in that the good doctor did not have overly close contact with the person while they were contagious.
Surprisingly, or perhaps not so surprisingly, the director of the Centers for Disease Control, Robert Redfield, has also placed himself under a self-quarantining regimen. He also allowed that his contact was with a similarly "low-risk" individual.
Of course, one of Donald Trump's Oval Office valets and food server tested positive for the virus just last week.
Yesterday, on Friday, reports that Katie Miller, Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary and wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller, also tested positive.
And, finally, and also on Friday, CNN reported that Ivanka Trump's personal assistant had also tested positive.
