Trump should be quarantined- stating the obvious Dr. Jha

Dr. Ashish Jha per CDC guidelines on Lawrence O’Donnell.

Just like I am. On Friday I found out I’d been in close proximity to someone who tested positive.
2 weeks. Test and then test again after all least 5 days.

1. He's been tested and hasn't received the results yet, according to Lawrence O'Donnell.

If this isn't a fucking wake-up call to stop the suprespreader MAGAt rallies, c'est la vie. He never takes advice. And he is NOT "invincible." He needs to grow the fuck up.

2. That test is probably useless

He needs to wait at least 5 days and test again.

3. He's got the Abbott insta-test, no? So did that come out positive and he's getting a real test?

What’s the story

[Miles Archer]

5. I don't know, that was all that was said

My understanding was that he's been tested "daily," but you're right, it's probably with the insta-test.

7. Interesting

9. Any test that's a positive is just that

The problem with rapid tests are false negatives. As high as 20%.

8. A positive is a positive

The problem with the rapid tests is false negatives. Possibly 20%.

10. Not necessarily true.

DeWine tested positive on the rapid test. He was negative by a PCR test. And he never got sick. So his rapid test was a false positive.

11. Okay I'm just going by what VCU Health's COVID hotline

My daughters pediatrician and the Virginia Department of Health told me. So...a positive is a positive. You can retest but a positive should set in motion all the protocols.

[LisaL]

12. That's not what happened with DeWine.

DeWine was supposed to meet Trump, tested positive using rapid test. He was retested multiple times using PCR test, was found to be negative. He wasn't in quarantine and rapid test was assumed to be false positive. PCR test is considered to be more accurate.

4. I disagree.

He should go to a prayer meeting with all the top Republicans and have Hope Hicks there to apologize in person to everyone.

6. Recommended.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

13. Trump should not be doing in-person rallies or debates for two weeks.

Maybe if he had had the basic human DECENCY (of course we know he has NONE) to wear a mask and makes his staff wear them as well, he wouldn't have to quarantine.

But he is what he is.

[LisaL]

14. People have to actually quarantine if they have been exposed.

Wearing masks doesn't allow you to get out of quarantine.
