FOX & Friends' Rachel Campos-Duffy on Rep. @AOC dining in Florida last week: "When I saw this I thought first of all this is a great endorsement of [Gov.] Ron DeSantis and of Florida's policies."

CNN's @kaitlancollins: "It sounds like this decision had just as much to do with business as it did the science."

@CDCDirector Dr. Rochelle Walensky: "It really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate."
.@CDCDirector Dr. Walensky on why CDC didn't recommend a negative rapid test after isolation:
