Former White House Medical Adviser Suggests Trump Should Be on ‘Lockdown’

Most Americans have been ordered to stay home amid the 🦠Coronavirus Outbreak and one expert is encouraging President Donald Trump to do the same.

“Why would you have the president and vice president together frequently when one can infect the other?” Dr. Jonathan Reiner, former White House medical adviser, said. “The president should be basically on lockdown.”

Reiner explained how he does not believe the administration is taking the pandemic seriously as they continue to hold White House coronavirus press briefings almost every day.

Watch his comments below:

Reiner began the exchange by discussing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his recent transfer to the ICU as his coronavirus symptoms worsened, as IJR reported.

He called Johnson’s hospitalization an “ominous occurrence.”

Reiner later suggested testing those in the presence of Trump is a “great idea,” but the test “isn’t 100%” and each person coming into contact with the president would have to be tested on a daily basis.

He also pointed out Trump is at risk because of his age — 73 years old — if he contracts the coronavirus.

“For the sake of our leadership, there really needs to be very, very limited physical access to the president of the United States,” Reiner said.
