While Anthony Fauci will quarantine for the full two weeks recommended by the CDC, Pence is self-isolating for just three days following the coronavirus breach in the White House

On Sunday, Bloomberg first reported that the vice-president has been self-isolating since Friday, when Miller was diagnosed. “Vice-President Pence will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit and is not in quarantine,” a spokesman said in a statement. “Additionally, Vice-President Pence has tested negative every single day and plans to be at the White House tomorrow.”

The budding West Wing hotspot shows the difficulty of controlling workplace exposure as states reopen to an unknown level of risk, due to the gross inadequacy of testing around the country. Unlike the White House — where all employees are tested at least weekly — stores, restaurants, and offices won’t be able to have extensive access to tests to determine if their staff remains healthy.

what a strange and arbitrary amount of time

Hope you are better soon and set a positive example to others.

I'm surprised he's even bothering--it was a woman who was positive that he came in contact with, and we all know he's never in contact with a woman.

Personally I thought Mike was handling himself well until he did not wear a mask when he was told it was policy. Now not self isolating in accordance with CDC guidance. Let's just call it a failure of leadership.

It takes him about 3 days just to wake up ffs.
