Trump’s envoy gets Typhoid Mary treatment in Vietnam

“White House National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and his entourage were treated like COVID-19 contagion threats in Vietnam at the start of his travels to Southeast Asia, Bloomberg reported.

“He and his aides were relegated to a single floor in the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi … and were tested by people in ‘head-to-toe’ protective gear, according to Bloomberg. Meals were left outside their hotel rooms for them to retrieve. … The Air Force flight crew that delivered O’Brien was sent out of the country to Thailand until O’Brien was ready to leave.”

Not without justification, it seems:

“[I]n the Philippines, a member of the crew tested positive for COVID-19. Two National Security aides who were apparently in close contact with them self-quarantined in a Manila hotel and skipped O’Brien’s flight home, according to Bloomberg.”

Can’t say I blame them. Read story here.
