Attorney General William Barr will self-quarantine out of caution after President Trump and several other lawmakers and aides contracted COVID-19. Barr has so far tested negative for the virus, a Justice Department spokesperson said.

Joe Biden’s campaign says the Democratic presidential nominee tested negative for coronavirus Sunday.

Barr attended the White House event for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett last weekend and was seen on video having a conversation with former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, who has tested positive for coronavirus. Neither was wearing a mask.President Donald Trump is itching to get back out onto the campaign trail — and even attend the second presidential debate — if his doctors clear him to travel.

Trump departed the hospital in an armored SUV and remained in the vehicle as he drove past a flag-waving and cheering crowd outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.“I also think we’re going to pay a little surprise to some of the great patriots that we have out on the street,” he said, after thanking the doctors at the facility.

If they were in close contact with the president or his staff, they are being asked to quarantine for 14 days. Officials recommend waiting five to seven days from the event to get a COVID-19 test to prevent false negatives. Pelosi said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation”: “We need to have trust that what they’re telling us about the President’s condition is real.”

Pence is set to debate Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.President Donald Trump’s physician says he was trying to “reflect the upbeat attitude” of the president and his medical team when he declined to share Saturday that Trump was placed on oxygen the day before.

Dr. Brian Garibaldi, a specialist in pulmonary critical care, said Trump received a second dose of the experimental drug remdesivir along with a first dose of dexamethasone Saturday and isn’t showing any side effects “that we can tell.”

There is no possible way that he has escaped this. He has it, or will have it, and unless something terrible happens to him, we’ll never know his test results if they’re positive. Same with Kushner family.

KTLA Quarantine out of precaution? What a lie! The only fools are those around Trump!

The incubation period for COVID-19 is thought to extend to 14 days, with a median time of 4-5 days from exposure to symptoms onset. One study reported that 97.5% of persons with COVID-19 who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of infection.

JonLemire The DOJ workplace rules specify AG Barr shouldn't return to work for 14 days after being exposed.

Barr is hiding because he doesn't want to be asked about the report that should be out now to the people. It's the swamp in action WilliamBarrAttG

AG W. Barr has his decision to self-isolate well thought despite receiving all of the 4 COVID tests conducted as negative. He is just trying to remain extra vigilance something which his principal and team, including himself, would have done 2 prevent the virus in the 1st place.

So ya gotta quarentine when you test negative?

He was hugging Kellyanne and letting her whisper in his ears and shit. He definitely has the rona.

I get the feeling he has the virus. His first response when asked if he would quarantine, he said he wasn't because he had no prolonged contact with anyone positive. Now he's suddenly going to quarantine? Somethings fishy.

Sounds familiar: President Trump said late Thursday on Twitter that he and the first lady, Melania Trump, would begin the “quarantine process” as they await results of coronavirus tests they took after a senior adviser who is often with the couple tested positive.

craig_crawford Barr has committed to undermining democracy from the comfort of his own home.

KTLA Someone might want to remind people that the HIPPA regulations are just that.

Paging JenniferJJacobs

Bullshit. He’s positive too.

Time to see if Switzerland can send a temporary government team to Washington. With healthcare management. Central banking expertise. And a transportation ministry. Declare the US a neutrality for 90 days. Bitte schön!

Best of luck AG Barrr and others

Bill Barr should arrest himself for being an idiot 😷

Wow, responsible, I am honestly surprised.

Go on a diet while r at it.

Screw Barr and Trump. Sick and tired of irresponsible people!

JonLemire No reason to believe this based on their track record. He boldly refused yesterday and now says yes. He’s positive.

Doesn’t everyone who quarantines do so “out of caution?” Asking for that elusive friend.

Meanwhile, all of the People’s business is put on the back burner while the entire administration tries to get Trump re-elected without getting themselves killed.

Beyond belief. Think of all the parents,brothers,sisters,grandparents and grandchildren of all those who have died because of Trumps wilful criminal negligence,how do they feel seeing this. Trump has no moral compass,and such a narcissist. He is spitting in their faces,disgusting

Bill Barr is such a huge liar, I doubt he'd admit to contracting the virus. Especially since he's high risk based on medical qualifiers. His denial would probably include 'I don't have the coronavirus, but I'm COVID-19 adjacent'.

Fake Trump virus

So. They. Say.

JonLemire AG Barr has Covid and is flat out Lying imo. !

KTLA

Mitch As the SENATE MAJORITY Leader, YOUR continuing FAILURE TO NEGOTIATE & PASS the Crisis Response Fund HAS NOW resulted in *214,280 DEATHS 1K/D *30 Million unemployed *losing their healthcare WITH RECORD *Bankruptcies *Foreclosures *Evictions STOP creating uncertainty & CHAOS!

Mr President You FIGHT the right for All Americans to have Heath Coverage, YET YOUR LIFE is being saved by “SOCIALIST” Healthcare! While as of TODAY 214,280 Mothers, Fathers and Children have DIED from your INCOMPETENCE & mismanagement of our Federal Government’s CRISIS Response!

And we're supposed to believe these liars?

He's got it. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Feels so good to laugh again.

JonLemire So far...3...2...1...🔥

Barr negative? It’s only a matter of time. Kellyanne was all over him

Yeah okay. 🙄

Not out of caution, as required by the CDC guidelines.

JonLemire I would be pleased if Barr died, alone, in pain.

He has also tested negative for integrity.

slthompson29 HOW? Barr has his big fat toad tongue down Kellyanne Handjob’s throat?!?

Sounds suspicious that he’s now finally going to quarantine.. is he symptomatic

Virus be like “no way I’m I replicating inside THESE cells, I want my spawn to have a bright future”

Stop covering Trump’s shit show. No air time and no press. VoteBlue2020 VoteBidenHarris2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlueDownBallot

You mean this👇🏼 Bill Barr doing the wiping-the-n🦠se-shaking-hands c🦠mb🦠 in the ACB Rose Garden Super Spreader Festival?

🤞🏻

He isn't going into quarantine out of caution. He never gave a shit about it before and he only does not because he's positive and hiding it.

So he’s decided, four days after known exposure to someone with the virus, that he’ll now self quarantine. How socially conscious and selfless of him. Bastard!

Trump went on a joyride on day 4 of his COVID infection

Bet he has it

JonLemire I don’t believe a word of it. Not one word.

Barr needs to self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution given that he is in the high-risk zone as Trump, but may not be as fortunate to be as 'moderately affected' as Trump is making it out to be. COVID is complex and has a way of lying low, then biting people in the butt.

Tested negative so many times because it’s taking a while for the virus to get through all his layers

JonLemire Betting dollars to donuts that ol’ Billy Barr has it, but just won’t confirm it. Announcing his choice to self-quarantine and hope he doesn’t get worse is his way around telling the world he has it.

He must be positive now... he refused to quarantine after being exposed.

He's taking drugs now 🤦🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️

JonLemire I don’t know why I have a hard time believing Bill Barr🤔

They lie so much, do they even believe each other?

Every registered voter needs to do their duty and vote nazi trump out of office in November. When nazi trump and the corrupt republicans lose the American people win.

Oh he will, now? Weird all this 'science denier' stuff is coming home to roost.

Are we sure he's not just matching Barr's upbeat tone about the virus?

Dems Smart COVID keeps attacking High Ranking Republicans ONLY⁉️

Finally. How very responsible of him.

KTLA They can’t tell if he is sick. he feels like shit all the time .. nothing new

So a man who was in contact but negative is self isolating as he should. Yet the man who is actively infectious is driving round town potentially spreading it to everyone near him. What a fucking joke

Looking forward to when this sequel comes out

I’m sure Barr has lots of pre existing conditions considering how out of shape he is 😬

Guess Pelosi’s arrow missed him

Shamed him into it. Good. Don't let him cheat.

I'm worried about the people around the president.😰😰😰

Everyone of those doctor that help with that lie should lose their license.

Does Barr have symptoms? Changed tune quickly 😳

He's smart enough. Using this to stay away from TyphoidTrump ?

He would never quarantine at all. He’s positive.

VoteHimOutandLockHimUp

JonLemire What about VP? He should be quarantining, too

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

JonLemire he's positive 👍🏾

I need to see or hear his statement in full or it never happened!

About time. Now mask up and get funding to test & treat civilians

It’s now confirmed that when Trump went on Hannity on Thursday night and said “I just went for a test, and we’ll see what happens, I mean, who knows,” he already has the positive result and knew he had coronavirus.

He’s experiencing symptoms

Is he just saying This NOW. This probably means he already knows he is positive.

Trump’s hand picked assclown! He’s a DO - not MD.

Someone get a scoop on those test results. I smell the dark lord playing the room.

BillBarr probably won’t get it cause even the virus doesn’t want to be around him

But talked noise a couple of days ago saying he wasn't quarantining at all. 🤦 sounds concerned to me

Bill bar as COVID I am 100% sure

Finally. How many have been put at risk because of him.

Give it a few more days. He was right in KAC face

Will he get a joyride too?

Well which is it? He said he wouldn’t quarantine. You can’t believe anything that these lunatics say.

So he’s feeling symptoms now or has already tested positive.

Bullshit, he's got it

KTLA Yesterday : Attorney General Barr “chooses not to quarantine” despite possible exposure to Covid-19

Translation: US Attorney General has tested positive for Covid-19.

Out of caution or in hiding?

Can he be trusted?

Barr IS a virus.

This only means that the virus has not penetrated the fat cells just yet.

Wear a mask they said.

Ignore the Covid-19 hype. Live your life!
