The White House coronavirus task force on Sunday dangled new CDC guidance that might suggest some Americans with exposure to the 2019 novel coronavirus could return to work wearing a mask.
Vice President Pence on Sunday said the guidance “will make it possible for people that have been exposed to return to work more quickly with—by wearing a mask for a certain period of time.” He suggested it would be spelled out in more detail this week.
When asked about the potential guidance on Monday, Pence said it was still in the works, and might be targeted at a small subset of workers deemed critical.
“We're specifically looking at people that work in critical infrastructure—people in law enforcement, people in critical transportation,” he said. “The guidance we're looking for unpacking is how the people who may have come into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus, if they have no symptoms, [may] be able to return to work [and] wear a mask for a certain period of time.”
Pence said the proposed guidance would be before the president and possibly even before the public on Tuesday. But experts had already begun to blast Pence’s floated proposal as a dangerous one.
William Haseltine, president of the global health think tank ACCESS Health International, who recently chaired the U.S.-China Health Summit in Wuhan, called the potential guidance “deadly, deadly advice” as U.S. cases of the virus climbed to more than 40,000 infections and more than 500 deaths.
Most Americans have been told by federal agencies to avoid large gatherings—even if they have not been exposed to the deadly virus. Orders to stay inside except for essential needs like grocery runs and trips to the pharmacy have also been issued in a slew of states.

Dude from ‘expert’ group I’ve never heard of speaks to contradict person On right. What a surprise.
So they don’t want you too work anymore I guess.
Experts. People who will say anything for the right price.
An “expert” dredged up by the Daily Beast. I’m so impressed.
“Experts” is defined as any clown who disagrees with Pence, right?
Expert: “Ex”: a has-been. “Spurt”: a drip under pressure.
All experts are liberals.
So why have they been saying to wear a mask if you think you are infected? The guy sounds like a political hack or a fear monger.
Or are all liberals experts...hm? /s
That’s not Pence’s idea, and he said it was something they were looking into. Isn’t that what we want, Mr. HIV Science Guy? People looking into problems and solutions, even ones that may not work or be feasible?
Looks like the good doctor has a severe case of TDS.
So? It would still be TENS of thousands fewer than the 2020 flu victims. But apparently THEIR deaths don’t warrant any headlines, because they can’t be weaponized against Trump.
If what Hazeltine is true, why wasn’t the headline “CDC is giving the task force horrible advice”? I think we all know why.
It’s voluntary, dear Experts. Jeez, the jackals are tipping and yapping.
They used to run the world. They don’t anymore. They are taking it pretty hard. Thinking about this makes me smile.
Hey Experts. Have you noticed how many deaths are ACTUALLY CAUSED by illegal aliens?
So we now see how dishonest you are as you pursue your anti-Trump agenda.
Yipping.
