Health experts raise concerns about Pence events after aides test positive for Covid-19.

Health policy specialists questioned White House officials' claim that federal rules on essential workers allow Vice President Mike Pence to continue to campaign and not quarantine himself after being exposed to the coronavirus.

That usually means isolating oneself for 14 days after exposure in case an infection is developing, to prevent spreading the virus to others. However, the guidelines on essential workers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are aimed at folks like police, first responders and key transportation and food workers.

Pence also serves as president of the Senate, a largely ceremonial role outlined in the Constitution but one that stands to come into focus Monday.

Que se joda ese es mas hijo de puta que el otro,connsu cara de pendejo,

The main problem here is Pence can't get over his own self-centered righteousness.

Pence is hypocritical. As the so-called head of the Covid Taskforce, exposed to the virus but refuse to isolate. This just goes to show, the task force was another BS response to this virus. Another superspreader is about to come! He should have is but sitting at home!

No just totally disregard for their own policies which they don’t want to follow want to help slow the rates of this deadly virus which they all know how deadly it is the virus does not care whom gets in its path as hospitals are struggling again and which given up on all of us

‘COVID Fatigue’ & Mask ‘Defiance’ Directly Effects Illness & Deaths! Selfish, Reckless & Disrespectful People...Cause Others’ Last Breaths! They ‘Choose’ to Disregard; Sacrifice Loved Ones’, Friends’ & Neighbors’ Lives, Heartless Willingly Endanger Grands, Kids, Husbands & Wives!

Total Disregard for Welfare of REAL Living-Breathing Humans, Pence’s Dangerous Choice; Appease Trump & His Plans, Guidance for the Head of Covid Task Force Is A Need, Self-Proclaimed Religious Man is a Hypocrite, Indeed! Trumps Irrational Demands, Expose Expendables; Fill Stands!

What is more important the health of the nation or campaigning? Well Pence and corrupt trump think that campaigning is far more important than your health. Republicans are super spreaders of covid virus, they do not care about the people only about power and profit.

Contrary to what he might think, Pence is NOT an essential worker. His “job” can be done from home. Mask up people

There is no Law and Order in the trump admin. Irresponsibility and self interest dominate them.

I don't doubt for a second that pence tested positive in isn't telling anybody

The President's massive contact-trace testing efforts(largest numbers of testing for any country in the world), find the hot spot source areas of infection to target them & keep the percentages low.

TrueCOVIDs:Apr Peakinfecs:35,000/day with175,000 tests/day or: 21% infecs; Aug Peakinfecs:70,000/day with 800,000 tests/day or: 8.2% infecs;Now:infecs:82,600/day with1.2 million tests/day or: 6% infecs (percentage now lower than Aug/much lower than April)

He will never again stand alone in his political life! He will always be “the Monsters” sidekick, the puppet, Trump henchman, enabler, fake Christian (Evangelical),Trumps “YES” man, Trumps footstool. His political life is dead! Go write a book, do some speeches. Good-bye Damien

maggieKTVB7 Associated Press keeping us informed as usual /s. This is not informative

Trumps death cult

Wait...........................they brought back the movie 'Dumb and Dumber'? LOL

BITCOIN is everywhere right now! PayPal/Venmo/Visa is adopting it. Square, Microstrategies, Grayscale, and Stone Ridge invested a billion between them. J.P Morgan, Kevin Hart, Kanye West and Joe Rogan all talked about it this week! INVEST! Research and invest! BITCOIN baby! 😜

Kamala Harris was campaigning recently despite several of her staffers testing positive. Where was the outrage?

Winning the news cycle! Any way needed!

Wait. Wasnt there a bunch of positives in the Harris camp? Why are there no reports and headlines on this ?

WhiteHouse aides - time is running out to speak up and walk out. Saying you were afraid to speak out won’t save you from allegations of covering up negligence and corruption. Remember Nuremberg. “Just following orders” won’t cut it. Americans will want answers.

The plan is healthcare WITH CHOICE opposed to single payer managed care with waiting lists , prioritization and regulation . Excellence vs common denominator rationing .

Pence is Dence.. And very creepy

Really Give me a fucking break. Idiots

We want to change our candidate!

Y’all still going to these rallies?!! These folks like playing Russian Roulette with COVID!

Nature’s way of getting rid of stupid. Please continue to not social distance or wear masks 😷 in your stupid super spreader events, please 🙏🏻

Not surprised

He was breathing very hard during that event

I’m sure those Health Experts are more concerned about the overwhelming Red early voting results in the nation so it’s time to scare the crowd and create fear... wonder where’s Fauci?

Fear mongering. We had enough of this scare tactic of the dems. Go around & you see ppl up & about already with & w/o masks. Months & months being cooped up is unacceptable. Live your life !

HARRIS/,Biden supporters are so proud of themselves... (Sad)

Lighten up. They know what they are doing.

So irresponsible!

He should have been quarantined. Criminally negligent.

He should not be allowed in the Senate Chambers on Monday period!!!

A VP should be more. responsible then this

Yamiche RepublicansAreKillingUs

SpiroAgnewGhost Reprehensible irresponsable and selfish. The world knows the US has fallen so far off the cliff of logic and empathetic and responsible response to Covid precautions. DestinyOfDeathPerWH They’ve given up

Yamiche And he’s still working the rest of his staff at risk of COVID-19

Yamiche LewisForMN - care to comment on Pence’s behavior here?

Yamiche How else can he spread the virus. Oops I mean word.

Pence does not care.

Pence is too busy 'Rounding the Corner'

MarkMeadows VP GOP Joe Biden wants to destroy people small businesses, restaurants almost shut down all our country whom their lives depend on their income . our treasury department has not enough money to give to millions of people to be locked down.

Fear mongering

Yamiche The entire administration is irresponsible. Pence is the head of the COVID task force, for cripe’s sake!! He couldn’t set a worse example...

VP Pence and gang are not smart enough to realize that they'd actually gain voters if they'd cancel events in exchange for something else...GOP trickle down theory in play..stupidity trickling from the top all the way down..and I'm fine with that

also, regular people raise concerns about Pence events

Pence is just being on brand.

This administration does not care.

Yamiche If he was in close contact he needs to quarantine per CDC guidelines but who follows the CDC guidelines when they’re in the White House they follow the orange man’s guidelines and that’s why they’re all getting sick

Somebody should be concerned. Wtf

But he has no concerns for the people he comes in contact with, and he was in charge of task force. He learned nothing!

Yamiche They. Do. Not. Care.

Yamiche tRUMP and Pence are going for herd immunity no matter how many people they kill.

Yamiche I’m old enough to remember the “ pink “ eye 👁 at the debate. 🤔 red flag 🚩

If he continues to test net, what’s the problem?

Oh Well !!! Its ignorant and no regards for human life except how can I WIN, POWER, GREED, SLFISHNESS, CONTROL. Pity that followers are BUYING it.

Yamiche It means he had it before and nobody told us. The fly tried to warn us...

Yamiche Again. Raise concerns again after newest step-on-own-dick by Pence.

Yamiche He doesn’t care why should we

Yamiche Mike_Pence VP You have sold your very soul to realDonaldTrump. You KNOW you must self quarantine to protect the American public & all those you work with. You are intentionally exposing people to Covid-19. How can you live with yourself? How can you face your family?

Yamiche What would Jesus do?

Yamiche And thy are correct.

Yamiche The Trump administration is willing to sacrifice lives in a reckless attempt to win this election. They do not care about your health or well-being. That is clear. Vote! We must do better.

You miss the memo? White flag. Virus wins. Dont worry though, they can do the GreatReset without trumpers.

AND YOU BOOT STRAPS Donald’s “WELFARE” CRISIS FUND *Funds his personal Rape Law suits using our TAX $$ *Uses SOCIALIST Healthcare funded by our TAX $$ to beat COVID19. *Financially supports HIS PERSONAL businesses using our TAX $$ *Gives his kids Federal Jobs paid with our TAX $$

I believe this stands out how much this administration will NOT do to keep the citizens of this country healthy and safe. This is just plain wrong.

Yamiche

Yamiche Ya think?

Wobbledance1 What most people are missing in this is...THE WHITE HOUSE DOESN’T CARE!!

They just don’t care it’s all about trying to get trump re-elected regardless ..

Yamiche I feel a rapture coming on. 🙏😉😷

Yamiche They need to more than question. Demand he stop campaigning!!

Yamiche .Mike_Pence Unfortunately Mikey doesn't care that he's a selfish sycophantic Super Spreader

Yamiche Grocery store workers getting $13/hour if they're lucky are more essential than Pence. TrumpSurrendered while PenceSpreadsTheVirus

Yamiche Mike_Pence is spreading Covid-19 like mayonnaise.

Yamiche Submissive pence does what trump tells him to do as long as mother doesn't object or a female isn't involved.

He may feel immune mistaking it for a gay disease.

an he kept it quiet, didn't want anyone to know at election time pence is so weird

Tell the health experts the VP is tested daily.
