5 congressmen -- including Trump's future chief of staff and lawmaker who shook President's hand -- to self-quarantine after CPAC

Three more members of Congress, including President Donald Trump's future chief of staff, have announced that they would self-quarantine after coming into contact with an individual who has been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference.
North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, who was named as the incoming White House chief of staff on Friday night, announced Monday evening that he has been tested for coronavirus and that test came back negative. However, he's staying in self-quarantine until Wednesday, said Ben Williamson, Meadows' chief of staff. Meadows has not yet taken his new job and was not scheduled to start this week, an official told CNN.
"Rep. Meadows was advised this weekend that he may have come in contact with the CPAC attendee who tested positive for COVID-19, now 12 days ago. Out of an abundance of caution, Meadows received testing which came back negative," Williamson said in a statement. "While he's experiencing zero symptoms, under doctors' standard precautionary recommendations, he'll remain at home until the 14 day period expires this Wednesday."
Two other Republican lawmakers announced earlier in the day that they too would be in self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution after being in contact with the individual who tested positive for coronavirus at CPAC.
Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida became the third and fourth members of Congress to take the step, following the same announcements from Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona on Sunday.
Collins shook Trump's hand when the President went to Georgia on Friday to visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Gaetz rode with Trump in the presidential limousine and took Air Force One back to Washington with him on Monday.
A fifth Republican member -- Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas -- was told by officials over the weekend that he had been in proximity to the individual, but he is not planning to self-quarantine, a Gohmert aide tells CNN, details the congressman himself confirmed on Twitter on Monday evening.
"After CDC physician called me Sunday evening, and we discussed all the specific circumstances of which he was aware along with my circumstances, including that I was and am asymptomatic, he said that all things considered, I was cleared to return to Washington," Gohmert said in a series of tweets.
Trump ignored questions shouted at him from a White House briefing on whether he'd been tested.
Vice President Mike Pence said he himself had not been tested and he did not know if Trump had been, but promised to get an answer to the question shortly.
"I have not been tested for the coronavirus," Pence said during a briefing on the virus with reporters, which Trump attending the beginning of...

'Smart' move attempting to decrease funding for the CDC multiple times, AND firing the Pandemic Response team back in 2018, orange one.
Thankfully, congress intervened multiple times in the CDC funding, or we'd be even worse off.
Trump was in contact with several of the people now quarantined.
Perhaps 'god' is not happy with the impeachment outcome and has his/her own bible-like remedy.

If the Chinese are correct in their prognosis that the virus was initiated by the USA, it would indeed be Karma if Trump became infected.
Whether or not it originated outside of China, it is still karma, since Trump tried several time to cut
the budget for the CDC, fired the Pandemic Response Team, and created a much worse 'swamp' in DC.
If there were more honest republican senators, other than Romney, Trump is the one, who would have been fired. Thus, him being physically removed from office, would be poetic justice.
You ARE gloating
He is shaking hand, being in crowd, and he is healthy as a HORSE.
Since you are foreign it makes you see things in a way that runs counter to the interests of U.S. citizens Jenny. It's obvious in your posts.
Jim, you've outdone yourself. it would seem that types like you would use a virus as a weapon. kind of a sorry soul you are
Go help Trump pass out paper towels loser. Jim over the years has has always demonstrated the highest character of folks on this site.
Looks like his so called high character just ended, doesn't it. Read the title of this blog! Unbelievable that someone could be this evil - minded.
The very reasons why I can never vote demonrat because their supporters are direct examples of what the party is still, truly about. Hate, money, power, control. There isn't a single thing about them by the people, for the people, or of the people any more.
It's also very sad how the demonrat party and their supporters over play the actual threat. The standard annual viruses have and do close to 20x the damage that the latest virus has done to date.
Rizares, you really would like to believe that, unreal what hatred can make some people believe
Don't underestimate this foreigner, Ralphy she spent 11 years in California and since 58 in Canada
You are such a troll and parrot you need to say something of little intelligence in everyone's blog
LIMBO lower now,how low can you go
You are such a troll and parrot you need to say something of little intelligence in everyone's blog
Honestly, your words DEFINE YOU.
Poetic justice or karma would be key phrases for hate and vindictiveness.
Actually words that haters use ;
hate and vindictiveness
I saw that one on TV.
Seth is funny and he makes some good points.
#2. Nowhere in the blog, nor my statements below the blog, did I wish anyone to get the virus or laugh at someone getting the virus (Is English a problem for you to read ?)
Indeed, the only one wishing anyone to get sick was Pat. He wished I would get infected. Also Palm suggests a way to have such a thing come about. No one else wished or schemed any way to have someone get sick.
In summary (once again) you have no clue of the content of the blog and inaccurately comment on it,
thus providing further evidence, once again, that your previous comment actually defines YOU.
Meanwhile 5 republicans are quarantined, the virus doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon,
and the stock market took another hit today.
The pathogen, who might be going away, is Trump next January.
Not, as Trump would like to fool people into believing.
Again, the sooner Trump is out of office, the better it will be for this country.
We don't needs lies. We need EFFECTIVE leadership from someone who faces the truth, makes appropriate decisions, and takes appropriate actions. Clearly, that is not Trump's forte'.
He may really be 13!!!!!
The Check In: Trump’s Family Profits Off Policy Meant to Help Low-Income Communities
Seth takes a break from breaking news to check in on one particularly insidious way Trump and his family have been enriching themselves on a policy that was supposed to benefit low-income communities.
Jared Kushner! What a coincidence that the presidents son in law who works in the White House would benefit financially. I guess he's in an Opportunity Zone.. :roll eyes:
I just posted the one that will air later tonight on NBC on my newer blog full of updates.
Apparently, the republicans in the senate will do nothing about it.
As I've said before, they also need to be replaced a.s.a.p.
What I dislike is the arrogance that is permeating the Whitehouse...as if the US doesn't need allies...his brand of leadership is dangerous...where is the diplomacy in office...or actual intelligent discourse...
Trump fired all those with intelligence.
He hired a bunch of unqualified, inexperienced, inappropriate yes men,
whose main features, are that they donated money to his campaigns, and they won't dispute his lies.
