Senate health committee Chair Lamar Alexander will remotely lead a hearing on the coronavirus this week from Tennessee after a member of his staff tested positive for the virus.

Alexander chose not to travel back to D.C. this week after discussing the situation with the Senate’s attending physician. The senator tested negative for the coronavirus on Thursday afternoon and is not exhibiting any symptoms.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing Tuesday on the government's response to the coronavirus will feature four administration witnesses, all of whom will testify by videoconference, according to Alexander chief of staff David Cleary.

FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, CDC Director Robert Redfield and top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci announced last week they would self-isolate after being potentially exposed to the virus. HHS testing czar Brett Giroir will also remotely testify. Katie Miller, a spokesperson for Vice President Mike Pence, and a valet for President Donald Trump tested positive for the virus last week.

The airlines are packing them in like sardines. It's the antithesis of social distancing.

It doesn't matter if they fly First Class - everybody breathes the same air.
