How does this work, then?

A mom comes into contact with an infected patient. She has a son who comes into contact with her. He comes in contact with his fellow cadets. Then, the cadets directly shake the hand of Pence, the VP.

Mom and son don't show any symptoms (yet,) but they are quarantined.

And, why isn't the VP also quarantined, along with all the cadets? Is this something Pence is learning, or might just find out when he awakens with a fever?

And, how many days has he been in charge of this brewing nightmare? Five days? He's lasted five days before he got himself potentially infected?

And, what about his cadre of people protecting him, flying him around, etc? Why haven't we been told that Pence is self quarantining for two weeks, like all those other ordinary people doing their thing to reduce their chances of infecting someone else?

What a leader! I am so impressed with the solid style of the Grey Ghoul, out there bravely shaking hands with those that should have been quarantined, even after the fact. He can't get sick! That's why Trump appointed him to set such a bold example of bravery. No need to panic!

I'm not personally panicked over this (yet.) I merely think that it is peculiar that Trump et al are in such denial of the potential of this thing. They are probably just denying completely the need to quarantine the VP. He'll just continue to work until something happens. Forget about other people.

Well, you know what I mean.

I'm voting for Warren

but will support either of the other two against Trump.

Covid article

Because we have brain-dead leaders, we have to figure out stuff for ourselves.

So, here is a link to an interesting article about possibilities to explain why this virus seems to be reappearing in patients who have been cleared and released:

https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/28/world/asia/28reuters-china-health-reinfection-explainer.html

They are talking about the possibility of the virus being "biphasic," meaning it lies dormant before causing new symptoms.

They also refer to the virus as SARS-CoV-2. A little detail of interest to me.

Elderberry, Sambucol

We should add our own effort to staying safe, and not wait for the Ghoul Corps to tell us "too bad for you." Accordingly, elderberries and Sambucol seem like a promising start to our own research.

Has anyone taken either of these? What do you think?

Pence makes my skin crawl.

I know it's not nice. I should know better, and I'm sure there are plenty of people that I've met that can say the same for me. But, Pence is a public figure, is impacting my life, and is second in command. So, I make judgments.

The guy is like a ghoul. He seems like a reanimated corpse. Honestly, he is devoid of any warmth in his eyes or his face. I watched him on TV today, and his neck inside his shirt seemed detached. Put him in a Nazi uniform, and he could play one without effort.

I am not encouraged at all. And, I remember the shocked look on his face at the presser where he was named the man to run the fight against Corona. That said it all.
