Where is Pence? I see Meadows all over the place, but even for appearances Pence should be seen.

It's about the Constitutional continuity of government - Meadows isn't legally able to take over for Trump, even if he is Trump's CoS.

Pence needs to be front and center, he should be pretending he's capable of taking over and not hiding in Cheney's man-sized safe with Mother trying to convince him the nasty virus won't get him.

At least we all knew in past GOP presidencies that the VP was available in case of emergencies, and would actually get in front of cameras and say the politic thing.
Pence? Where are you?

11. I thought that was a joke. But even if he were at Camp David for protection, he needs to be seen.

Seriously. I'm old enough to remember the JFK assassination - vaguely. This is not only amaturish, but conspiratorial. These are people running around like teenagers trying to hide evidence of the kegger they threw when mom and dad took a weekend out of town.

On edit -I hate autocorrect.

5. Maybe he is afraid that Trump would perceive it as an attempted coup

Remember how Hitler reacted when he was cut off in Berlin and Goering tried to negotiate on his own.

Speaking of this - will we get a Downfall: Corona Trump virus addition at some point?

This is way bigger than any politics. This is Nat Sec to the nth degree.

IF he cannot stand and speak without showing weakness, they have to pass the baton to Pelosi.

Not too many people seem to grasp this. Eric Swalwell sure as hell does. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/watch/rep-eric-swalwell-our-enemies-are-watching-right-now-93039685995

7. No, he was closely exposed, sitting in front of Kellyanne Conway in the Rose Garden

and probably exposed by Trump and others too. He should be sequestered as much as possible, briefed via teleconferences, untill enough time goes by to make sure he doesn't have the virus. He should do Zoom or teleconferenced appearances to prove he is well and offer assurances to the nation.

We really don't need him out exposing even more people.
