late on the morning of Friday, Oct. 2nd, he had taken a test a day earlier that came back positive. He said he would quarantine for ten days.The CDC says a quarantine period can be shortened from 14 days to ten in cases where advised by a physician, and the individual can also seek testing to confirm a negative result.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham talks to Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah., as Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, sits below during Monday's hearing.A few hours after Lee announced his positive test, his colleague on the panel, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, said he was also infected after the Sept. 26 Rose Garden event in Barrett's honor. Tillis, however, has said he would connect to the hearing virtually at the start of the week.
Lee's actions on Monday immediately drew a rebuke from Democrats. Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse pointed to reassuring words from the Judiciary chairman, Sen. Lindsey Graham, at the start of Monday's hearing about safety as a farce. "Trump can't even keep the White House safe," Whitehouse said."Here it's the chairman's job to see to the committee's safety, and though his words are reassuring, I don't know who has been tested, who should be tested, who is a danger, what contact tracing has been done on infected and exposed senators and staff. Nothing.". As of now, there is no widespread testing plan for the thousands of people who work in the Capitol complex, despite bipartisan calls.
How can you expect contact tracing to work on a National level, when you won’t even keep track of the virus spreaders in the White House?
He's probably miraculously cured and now immune, like someone else we know!
They don’t CARE!!!
The Democrats worse nightmare is coming true. Thirty four infections in the White House and no bad outcomes... not even Chris Christie.
It took the SenateGOP & GOP 24 days from a SCOTUS justice's death to start nomination hearings. It's been 201 days & 210,000 American COVID19 deaths since the Senate approved a stimulus bill that gave us $1,200. They've had us survive on $5.97 a day. Because priorities
Impossible. If he tested positive, then he died. That's what you've been saying all along. How can this be?
When you say 'unclear' that tells me you didn't BOTHER to get the FACTS.....
Every SenateDems in that room should have demanded that the hearings be stopped until he provided documentation that he had tested negative. They know damn well Republicans could care less who they infect as long as they can push this nominee through.
We'll know soon enough VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
But you () and the other media want focus on the 'packing the court' non-news.... Do better.
Is there not a security force tasked with protecting our representatives? Even from each other?
Republicans don't care how many people they kill yet swear they're 'pro-life.'
NPR at it again, throwing a grenade when an interview with Senator Mike Lee or his staff. It's like me saying 'NPR staff are back working, but we don't know if they tested negative.' It seems to be that is not good business. Defund NPR
He could literally kill other people. The “pro-lifers” are complete hypocrites.
So you did what journalists do right? You called them for comment. 'Unclear'? Did you make any effort to clear it up?
And who called him on it and made him put one on. anyone? (sorry, I don't watch shit shows.)
Unbelievably insulting to all the families that have lost loved ones to Covid.
Here's an idea. Why don't you get the answer to that question before misleading the people? Are all the reporters at NPR amateurs?
It is not unclear, he did not test at all, just like the rest of the GOP in this hearing. Fix you headline, “ GOP refuses to test for COVID-19, even tho many have been exposed, putting the lives of all involved at risk.” Fixed it for you. DO BETTER!
Arrest him. This is criminal.
Any infected person who is knowingly spreading a deadly disease should be prosecuted for reckless endangerment.
NPR and other media outlets coordinate their attacks on conservatives.
