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 not saying I'm wishing him ill, but if it DID happen, I don't care who you are ...
