President Trump aide says 'we're not going to control the pandemic'

Marc Short has been in close contact with Vice President Pence. I mean, they are always with each other. Short is now positive for the virus. S 0 500 guidelines say that Vice President Pence should quarantine for 14 days. Now. I understand the White House is trying to get around that by saying the vice president is an essential worker. But Mark, how is going all over the country? How is that campaigning? How is that essential work? It's not like he's helping to contain the virus. In fact, the opposite. He's holding rallies that could be spreading the virus. Well, actually, he's not just campaigning. He's working. We saw a Middle East peace agreement with Sudan in the Oval Office. The president engaged in and for anybody to suggest that the president has been out campaigning and not getting things done. All you have to do is look at the fact that the camps around Tallahassee just a I'm not saying he's not campaigning. I'm saying that that is only part of what he's doing and as we look at that essential personnel, whether it's the vice president of the United States or anyone else. But he has to continue on JC guidelines. Jake CDC guidelines does say essential personnel. They were asked if they wear a mask, and I spoke to the vice president last night at midnight, and I could tell you that what he's doing is wearing a mask, socially distancing. And when he goes up to speak, he will take the mask off, put it back on. But he's wearing a mask as it relates to this particular thing because the doctors have have advised him to do that. And so, Jake, when we start to look at this, you know, here's here's where we really need to make sure on your website yesterday, Jake, you know your website is talking about Well, now we think that spread is coming from small social groups and family groups. First, it was large groups. Now it's small groups. Now. This is now The place is well, that's exactly the place. That's exactly the out of control. So here's what we have to do. We're not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation. Aren't we going to get because it is a contagious virus just like the Why not make efforts to contain it? Well, we are making efforts to contain it by running all over the country, not wearing a mask with the vice president. Get in the back and forth. Let me just say this is what we need to do is make sure that we have the proper mitigation factors, whether it's therapies or vaccines or treatments to make sure that people don't die from this. But to suggest that we're going to actually quarantine all of America locked down our acumen, saying Well that they are Joe Biden saying that he says, Lock everybody down. We're gonna have We're gonna have a dark. We're gonna have a dark winter. We're gonna have a dark. That's what health officials say. That's what health officials say that it's gonna get way. Has Joe Biden Jake. Let's be honest. Friday, Saturday Let's be honest here that health officials did not say dark winter. Those were Joe Biden's word. When we look at the health official, I think he was quoting William Haseltine. When we look when we look at the number of cases increasing, what we have to do is make sure that we fight it with therapeutics and vaccines, take proper medication factors in terms of social distancing and mask when we can. And when we When we look at this, what we're going to defeat it, Jake, because what we are, we're Americans. We do that. And this president is leading while Joe Biden is sitting there suggesting that we're going to mandate president is holding rallies. That's correct for the country's correct. In fact, no masks required no distancing. We have already been, according to health officials, contact tracing. There have already been cases of individuals in Minnesota and in Washington, D. C. And in Oklahoma that got the virus at these trump rallies. The doctor Fauci himself called a super spreader event the one with the white. There's also that contact tracing Jake that does not lead. There's all been also been contact tracing from reporters, some with your own group, where they actually have worn mass religiously. And so what I'm here to tell you is is we need to find the vaccines and the therapeutics toe actually give Americans the the relief that this is not a death sentence because it's not. And yet at the same time to suggest that any of that is not accurate. Uh, is just not based on the fact Here's the bottom line. We know, according to health officials, that masks are the best thing people can do in terms of trying to prevent the virus from spreading. Period. That's what they say and told the vaccine and operation warp speed. And until that all works out, the best thing to do our masks that's from Dr Redfield is from Dr Fauci is from Dr Burke's from everybody.

WASHINGTON (Video above from CNN) —

Officials on Sunday scoffed at the notion of dialing back in-person campaigning despite positive tests from several aides to Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the White House coronavirus task force.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, pressed to explain why the pandemic cannot be reined in, said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Because it is a contagious virus just like the flu.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

He told CNN's 바카라 게임 웹사이트�State of the Union" that the government was focused on getting effective therapeutics and vaccines to market.

Pence, who tested negative on Sunday, according to his office, planned an afternoon rally in North Carolina, while the president was scheduled to be in New Hampshire and Maine. Democrat Joe Biden attended church in the morning and planned to participate in a virtual get-out-the-vote concert at night.
