I'm sorry... was this done for ratings? 😬 I hope they get well soon & no one else in their vicinity gets sick.

MTE, like y’all did this on air??

It had to have been. I just said below, it takes 15 minutes to get rapid test results. And there's no way these women made it to work and then on air in 15 minutes. Which means they weren't tested upon arrival, thus defeating the point of even testing if they're letting them wander around maskless.

And while I'm sure they're vaxxed on a show like this and it's more lax, again---why test if you aren't waiting for results before allowing people to go about their work day??

They had VP there for her first on air interview. No way they would pull this type of stunt. Someone had to have screwed up bts.

Hope they get better, but the whole “let’s interrupt the show in a dramatic way” feels like it was intentionally done for ratings. You’d figure they have the results before going on air

They've started rolling out the third dose here in Poland. But six months need to pass after the second dose. So it looks January 2022 for me? 🤞

Wait, were they tested as part of a quirky segment? Or was this a daily test so they can come to work sort of thing?

Because if it was the latter...The View is doing it wrong. Which is strange because you can get results in as little as 15 minutes, and there's no way they would have been tested upon arrival, hair and makeup, show prep, and on the air that quickly. What took so long?

I'm sure that's very scary for Sunny and Anna. I hope they don't get any symptoms and it's out of their systems asap. Good thing it's a weekend so the staff can all get tested and sort things out for next week.
