The Master says: The standard treatment for women with abdominal pain after childbirth is Zhishi Shaoyao San (Unripe Bitter Orange and Peony Powder). However, if recovery does not occur, this means that there is dry blood fixed in the abdomen below the umbilicus. Xia Yu Xue Tang (Static Blood-Precipitating Decoction) governs. This formula also governs inhibited menstrual flow.

Pence will not self-quarantine and plans to be at the White House Monday

Updated May 10, 2020

Vice President Mike Pence is not planning to enter self-quarantine after his press secretary tested positive for coronavirus on Friday and plans to be at the White House on Monday, his office said on Sunday.

美国副总统迈克·彭斯的办公室周日表示，在其新闻秘书周五检测出新冠病毒呈阳性之后，彭斯并不打算进入自我隔离，下周一他仍将到白宫办公。

Pence spokesperson Devin O'Malley said the vice president "will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit and is not in quarantine."

彭斯办公室发言人德文·奥马利说，副总统“将继续听从白宫医疗部门的建议，不隔离。”

The announcement comes as the White House continues to urge governors to begin reopening their states even as the virus has edged closer to the West Wing with news that top members of the coronavirus task force will self-quarantine, in some form, after coming in contact with an individual who tested positive for the virus.

在宣布这一消息之际，白宫继续敦促州长们着手重新开放各州，尽管病毒已经逐渐靠近西翼。有消息称，因与一名病毒检测呈阳性者有过接触，冠状病毒特别工作组的高层成员将以某种形式进行自我隔离。

An official said there is extreme sensitivity inside the White House at the current state of affairs with officials recognizing the contradiction in telling states to reopen while the White House enhances protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

一名官员说，白宫内部对目前的事态极为敏感。官员们认识到了，在白宫加强防止冠状病毒传播的议案，与同时要求各州重新开放之间存在的矛盾。

The official said Pence's schedule will probably be on the lighter side in the coming days, but that he's not doing a full self-quarantine.

这位官员说，彭斯的日程安排可能在未来几天会比较宽松，但他并不会进行全面的自我隔离。

The news of Miller's positive test has left everyone in the West Wing of the White House genuinely nervous, one White House source previously told CNN.

此前一位白宫消息人士向CNN透露，米勒（彭斯发言人）阳性检测的消息让白宫西翼的每个人都非常紧张。
