Related: About this forumJoni may have been exposed
But like other loyal Branch Trumpvidians she doesn't plan to self isolate
Senator Joni Ernst is not self-isolating after being in contact with Vice President Mike Pence.
Ernst was tested on Friday before boarding Air Force Two with Pence to come to Iowa. Ernst tested negative and has followed guidance from the vice president's office and medical team.
Meanwhile, the heads of the FDA and CDC are in self-quarantine.
All three were exposed to someone at the White House who tested positive. The CDC and FDA are set to testify remotely for a Senate hearing tomorrow. Doctor Fauci is scheduled to testify in person but will wear a mask.

These fuckers get tested over and over when associating with Rump and Dense, but many many American citizens cannot get tested even when we have symptoms

Are the GOPers still converging on Trump's D.C. hotel bar for political smoozing?

She thought she was safe with their separate beds.
