Trump now isolating at White House. CDC advice says that should be for 14 days, whether you test positive or not.

[ursus arctos]

A CBS medical expert now suggesting that Pelosi should self-isolate as she would need to step in if both Trump and Pence are disabled.

[Sporting]

This is what the Washington Post had to say about the potential situation of both Trump and Pence being unable to lead the country:

"Article II of the Constitution grants Congress the right to “provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President” — and the 1947 act is the current result. Under its rules, the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate would be next in the line of succession, followed by the members of the Cabinet, beginning with the secretary of state.

Until 1947, succession had passed through the Cabinet. Congress added the speaker and president pro tem on the grounds that the president should desirably be an elected official, even if not part of the executive branch. This might make sense in theory, but it could be truly terrible in practice. Should both Pence and Trump be unable to serve, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) would become president under the act — handing the White House to a different party without an election. Should she be unable or unwilling to serve, then the office would go to Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa)."

That's the Order of Succession, but they would have to both be dead before the Republicans could even think of triggering it

[Incandenza]

He’s got it. Come on 2020!

[Uncle Ethan]

It's not the despair that gets you, it's the Hope.

[Sporting]

He’s got it. Come on 2020!

As long as it doesn't bring out the sympathy vote.

[ursus arctos]

You are a bad man, UE

[Sean of the Shed]

Thoughts and prayers with the virus at this difficult time.

[Incandenza]

Let’s just hope that Biden escapes it.

[ad hoc]

Am I the only one who has suspicions about this? He announces that he has Covid, gets out of the debates, gets some sympathy, and emerges a week or so before the vote having "fought bravely and successfully".

[Incandenza]

CNN keeps repeating “the leader of the free world has a deadly virus,” lol spare me the concern.

[Uncle Ethan]

You are a bad man, UE

Yes, yes I am.

On the theories this is fake I'm not sure a doctor, any doctor, would literally sign away their career, even for a President.

Also the optics of him getting this after months of denial about the virus, its effects and rubbishing preventative measures such as mask-wearing are appalling.

It doesn't work on any level as a deliberate strategy.

It has certainly come at the most convenient time.
