VP Pence has 5 Inner Circle Members Test COVID Positive

[NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN]

No isolation as "essential personnel" does not  include visiting various states campaigning with potential to be asymptomatic carrier especially as mask less..

I expect better as Vice President + head of the U.S. Coronavirus Task Force, flagrantly violating own guidelines. No wonder US can't get virus under control.

Members of Pence’s Inner Circle Test Positive for Coronavirus

Along with Marc Short, the vice president’s chief of staff, three additional staff members and a Pence adviser have also tested positive, according to people briefed on the developments...

...“Vice President Pence and Mrs. Pence both tested negative for Covid-19 today, and remain in good health,” Mr. O’Malley said, adding, “While Vice President Pence is considered a close contact with Mr. Short, in consultation with the White House Medical Unit, the vice president will maintain his schedule in accordance with the C.D.C. guidelines for essential personnel.”

This very stupid man thinks he is an "essential worker"?  When did it become essential to spread Covid?  I think Jesus would be very annoyed.  Hopefully Pence will spend his eternity in a Covid unit.

The position of VP may be essential, but campaigning in person is not. The lack of judgement is ridiculous.
