Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn will self-quarantine for the next two weeks after learning that he came in contact with someone who had tested positive for COVID-19, the agency says.

"Per [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines, he is now in self-quarantine for the next two weeks," FDA spokeswoman Stephanie Caccomo told The Hill on Saturday. "He immediately took a diagnostic test and tested negative for the virus."

Self-quarantine? Like Chris Cuomo refused to do?

Y'know, hide out for the cameras and stuff.

Apparently Fauci's going to do the same. Sounds like they're going into hiding.

It's a natural breakpoint. So far, it doesn't look like Georgia or Florida are having resurgences after their soft reopens, thank God.

Both of them should hide in a Patagonian cave for next 5 years, just to be on the safe side.
