Joe Biden needs to be quarantined too.
He and Trump were both maskless at the debate.

Iâm distressed by how many people still believe social distancing within an interior space is adequate protection against the virus that causes COVID-19.
It is NOT.
The primary route of infection is inhalation of droplets and AEROSOLIZED PARTICLES. https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/1310982597548421124

Dr. Fauci himself recently spoke about how weâve been âgetting it wrongâ and that aerosolized particles play a significant role in the transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19:
Hope Hicks was actually *symptomatic* yesterday, which means she was almost certainly infectious before then.
She traveled with Trump and his entourage on both Saturday and Tuesday, potentially exposing everyone with whom she traveled and interacted. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-02/trump-aide-hope-hicks-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-infection

Good. Erring on the side of caution is the right move by the Biden team. https://twitter.com/jenniferjjacobs/status/1311864846259040256
Trump reports he and Melania have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, which means he was almost certainly spewing aerosolized infectious particles into the air while screaming during the debate on Tuesday. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1311892190680014849
Iâve received comments to the effect of âor he could just get tested.â
For #SARS_CoV_2, the incubation period between exposure and a positive test result can be anywhere from two days to over two weeks.
A negative test today doesnât rule out infection. https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1311989990025461763

Biden and those who accompanied him to the debate will be tested.
Again though: testing now is not sufficient. He and those around him should ideally isolate and be monitored for symptoms and tested regularly until the incubation period has passed. https://twitter.com/jesserodriguez/status/1312012945577172995

The Trump administration did NOT reach out to Joe Biden and his team to notify them of possible danger.
Unconscionable. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1312016397942378501

Excellent news.
However, the incubation period can be anywhere from two days to over two weeks.
Ideally, he should be quarantining.
At a minimum, he should be regularly monitored for symptom presentation and tested for the next two weeks at least. https://twitter.com/joebiden/status/1312065485400346625

I donât know who needs to hear this, but:
A single negative test result does not rule out exposure or infection.
The COVID-19 virus has an incubation period of anywhere from two days to over two weeks.
Thatâs why quarantines after possible or confirmed exposure exist.

Biden is choosing not to quarantine, for understandable reasons.
I have no doubt heâs doing so fully advised on the risks, is being medically monitored, and will continue to be tested throughout the incubation period.
I will pray for his well-being and that of those around him.

Another great piece by @edyong209, in which he makes the same points Iâve made in this thread. https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/1312118916471160832
