Princess Perfect Is Staying Home...But She's Not Exhibiting Symptoms

Ivanka Trump stayed home from White House after exposure to person with coronavirus

“Ivanka is "exhibiting no symptoms and does not need to self-quarantine", according to a White House official”

“President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump stayed home from work at the White House on Friday as a precaution after meeting with an Australian official who has coronavirus.

“The White House is aware that [Australian Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton] tested positive for COVID-19. He was asymptomatic during the interaction," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. "Exposures from the case were assessed and the White House Medical Unit confirmed, in accordance with CDC guidance, that Ivanka is exhibiting no symptoms and does not need to self-quarantine. She worked from home today out of an abundance of caution until guidance was given.”

This is just absurd. No one knows if someone can be a carrier-- asymptomatic but contagious. Or she could be having a very mild case and yet be fully contagious.

And they don't say, "Take a day off work if you have been exposed." They're talking about 10-14 days. And she has small children at home.

Trump, of course, has now been exposed multiple times and several people who were with him now have the disease, but he hasn't been tested.

This "I feel fine" is exactly what Typhoid Mary always said.
