Tensions rise in the White House as Trump aides test positive for Covid-19

The White House on Saturday scrambled to deal with the fallout from two aides testing positive for the coronavirus, as officials who were potentially exposed responded differently, with some senior members of the pandemic task force self-quarantining while others planned to continue to go to work.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield, both task force members, said they are self-quarantining or teleworking for two weeks after exposure to a coronavirus case at the White House. On Saturday night, a spokeswoman for Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious diseases official, acknowledged that working from home sometimes will be among the precautions he is taking.

But several administration officials said White House staffers were encouraged to come into the office by their supervisors, and that aides who travel with Donald Trump and Mike Pence would not stay out for 14 days, the recommended time frame to quarantine once exposed to the virus.

He's taking it very seriously as it's destroying his re election chances. You might not think what he's done has been very effective.
