Hope Hicks returned to work at the White House the day after self-quarantining aboard Air Force One,

Hope Hicks, the White House senior counselor and one of President Donald Trump's most trusted staffers, decided to go back to work at the White House the day after she came down with COVID-19 symptoms and self-quarantined aboard Air Force One, according to the Washington Post.

In a new report from reporters Sarah Ellison and Josh Dawsey, 12 sources split among current and former administration officials along with other people close to Hicks detail her role amid the coronavirus cluster that consumed the White House last week.

Hicks tested negative early on Wednesday, the day after the first debate. However, she reportedly came down with symptoms during Trump's rally in Minnesota later that day, and found a room on the flight home to quarantine "discreetly enough that other staffers did not know she was ill."

She received her positive test result once she was back at work at the White House the next day.

she can't be to stick so close to 45 and family.

This quote got me:

"Hicks has sometimes mused to colleagues that her current tour in the White House isn't as fun as the early days," Ellison and Dawsey write, "when she bonded with a team of top advisers who have since moved on."

It's hard to imagine anything about 45's circle being 'fun'. But very credible that nothing about the WH since she got back is.

Why is it so difficult to understand? If you are sick, stay home and keep your germs there with you. Selfish jerk.
