WASHINGTON—Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short and a campaign adviser have tested positive for Covid-19, but with just days left until Election Day, President Trump’s running mate will continue to maintain his schedule, Mr. Pence’s spokesman said in a statement.
Mr. Pence, the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, considers himself to be a close contact of Mr. Short, who tested positive on Saturday, according to a statement from Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley.
Quarantine so you don’t spread the virus like Bonespurs
Assume, perhaps too optimistically, Mr Pence understands his political ideology, religious affiliation and ignorance of medical science will not protect him from being infected by a corona virus? He comprehends this fact, right?
I agree
Another irresponsible move-lack of leadership
I’m guessing he’s lying and hiding the COVID he’s actually carrying. Reporters should ask why trump was wearing gloves and why the hands of MoscowMitch is purple, red, black and blue. There’s something up in all of this. Since the WSJ is close to trump you can get it out of him.

Unacceptable BS. Stay away VP. They don’t give a shit.
When POTUS concluded he could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, he decided to take it to another order of magnitude by killing hundreds of thousands on streets all over the United States of America!
That whole silly incubation time stuff
Let them eat cake. VP realDonaldTrump SecAzar MarkMeadows WhiteHouse SecondLady FLOTUS IvankaTrump
DON’S BODY COUNT AS OF TODAY 230,086 of children, Moms & Dads as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS” DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA, HE SHOULD JUST BE HONEST!
Good Morning Mr. President Today’s US COVID19 Deaths is 230,086 You can ignore the DAILY Moms, Dads & Kids Body Counts caused by YOUR INCOMPETENCE in directing the world’s most powerful Government’s Crisis Response! Sadly they are gone & can no longer speak out... However WE CAN
Pence is head of vivid taskforce but he's not even following their standards. 'Way to lead'
Meadows tried you cover it up. 5 people are now positive. VP Office now has a COVID outbreak, and Pence refuseds to follow proper guidelines. He is setting a terrible example for the country, and we had 78,000 new cases yesterday. Shame on him and the entire Trump administration
Please god, make the stupid stop after Nov. 3rd
Another huge COVID failure within the realDonaldTrump administration It seems Trump WANTS to lose on Nov 3. The stupidity here is just amazing.
Keep those rallies going!
And this is the person in charge of our COVID response here in the US? No wonder we're in the shape we're in.
Head of the task force decides not to quarantine because he’s a jack ass.
Team Harris tested positive. Still no media coverage a week later.
Suck!
It's so sad that 46% of America is still going to vote for this.
So what.. Why does this crap continue to be news 99.997% of people are fine. They may feel bad for a few days but survive. Testing positive doesn't mean you're going to die!!
Some of the comments on the post ... good grief. Y’all act like this is the plague. My goodness, what did you all do during flu season every year? Good grief ... relax and take a breath. 98% survival rate.
For the Covidian Cuiltists: Eight months later, here we are. And here are the latest survival rate estimates from the Center for Disease Control: Age 0-19 … 99.997% Age 20-49 … 99.98% Age 50-69 … 99.5% Age 70+ … 94.6%
'Masks are useless' --- Mike Pence.
“So liberals are against pollination now..?” said one campaign advisor WearAMask Quarantine
Irresponsible
He is a real MAN!
It’s outrageous, it cannot be a personal ‘decision’, there must be rules! VoteHimOut2020
The republicans are true carries of this deadly pandemic virus 🦠
Typical of realDonaldTrump & his staff! Not 1 fuck do they care about others health! SuperSpreaders!!
The head on the coronavirus task force, VP mike pence - out an abundance of caution.. oh hell. They don’t care. This is why we have 300k excess deaths in this country. They don’t quarantine not even for a few days. He could be shedding the virus now. PenceHasCovid
Decided The rest of us don't get to decide not to. We can't go to work, we can't go out to get groceries. Man this whole administration is just full of assholes that don't care about anyone but themselves.
Surprise surprise
Coronavirus is custom-made for !he US, especially the White House, compliments of a P4 biowarfare laboratory in Wuhan.
Pence will get the expensive drugs at the best hospital when he gets it, he just doesn’t care about those he infects along the way who won’t have the same perks. They don’t care about us. Period.
Trump uneducated he is stock-market gambler, Trump do not care for science he do not care for human lives, vote out the uneducated. America vote for Biden he respects science Biden cares for human lives, he will be a good President.
Because this is the leadership of the leader of the Coronavirus Task Force. I am exhausted. 😞
So, I guess we have tested “too many people” and that’s why they are positive, right? TrumpLiesAmericansDie
And yet you still allow your opinion section to support this lying admin? This kind of bad governance happens daily if not hourly.
Even if he tested positive. He wouldn’t quarantine. He doesn’t care to tell the truth either.
The head of the Coronavirus task force is not quarantining after close contact with a positive person.
Rounding the corner? Hiring the best people? HA! Pence is literally the head of the coronavirus task force and everyone around him is getting sick. If they can't protect themselves, how TF are they going to help us protect ourselves? Utter and abject failure👎🏾
Yawn
Trump and his team love spreading that CoVid. SuperSpreaderInChief
When it's your bosses job to control the virus outbreak and his boss, his bosses wife and son, most of his colleagues still catch it, you have to ask yourself, 'Did the President really pick the best guy for the job?'
wow, what an arrogant pr!ck. So irresponsible and this guy pretends to be Christian....what a joke.
If this Coronavirus don’t disappear by Christmas I’m gon have to intervene
'decided not to quarantine' Must be nice to have such low moral scruples about potentially infecting your staffers, colleagues and, by extension, their family and friends. It takes a few days after exposure to test positive at all, if they keep testing at all.
A virus SO deadly you have to get tested to see if you have it.
So irresponsible but not unexpected behavior from a corrupt administration.
rounding the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Pence wearing Trump's SPF45OrangeClownMakeup?
it'll get him eventually
Because he doesn’t care about you or your families
I predict at least 1 death per rally caused by Trump’s super-spreader events. The questions are why he would do this, and why anyone with an underlying health condition would attend.
Breaking: Biden’s plan to fight the virus is for everyone to wear TWO masks.
You're doing a fantastic job Mike! Keep traveling and spreading the virus to your true believers.
Can NOT test positive for COVID-19 because there is NO test for COVID-19.
I'll let Trump's good friend Rosie make the call on this one for the election.
Good for Pence.
Soooo....super great! He and his infected were in my hometown of Pittsburgh, yesterday and I can tell you that we are absolutely THRILLED. Watch that Covid spike in PA, everyone! It's to die for!
Mike pence is immune, he is a zombie.
Everyone! Get in here!
'Let's infect our supporters!'
Vote
The No Mask party continues to be virus friendly.
'Super spreader event'🙄
Such careless actions that ignore the CDC guidelines are the cause of the increased number of infected and dead Americans in the current administration.
A new report from Columbia University on COVID-19 deaths estimates that hundreds of thousands of Americans died because the United States’ response to the pandemic was an “abject failure,” particularly the actions of President Donald Trump.
Because the test means nothing, higj false positives, no asymptomatic transmission. The bed you made, now sleep in it
Kamala Harris didn’t even have close contact with her aide and quarantined for several days; the head of the Coronavirus Task Force who did have close contact refuses to do even that?
🙏🙏
Turning the corner
For all we know Mike Pence himself be positive, and should self quarantine. But the rules don't apply to this administration
eramshaw Of course! Super spreader
Herd immunity will be put to the test in our Senate on Monday, and probably our Supreme Court as well.
Further proof of Hunter sex tape' and 'Jo is completely controlled by the CCP. The documents showing the loan agreement and sex tape of his son have already been released by the Whistle Blower movement‘ Copy and paste to watch
head of the task force everyone
So ridiculous.
Maintain his schedule by continuing to pack up his shit and retire.
Someone has the flu?!?! Oh, no! Stop the presses!
Ey yo wats Covid-19
Birds of a feather...
Remarkably irresponsible.
Who care
MikePence
come on!!!
