A student whose classmates met and shook hands with Vice President Mike Pence has reportedly been put under quarantine after his mom came into contact with a patient who tested positive for coronavirus. The unnamed male student from Sarasota Military Academy and his mother have both been quarantined at home, according to a post on the academy’s Facebook page. The Herald Tribune reported that the mother came in contact with an infected person through her “professional role” but neither of the two are exhibiting any symptoms of the coronavirus. On Friday, Sarasota cadets shook hands and posed for photos with Pence, who was in Sarasota for a fundraiser. The Pentagon is said to have been in touch with the school about the student. Last week, President Donald Trump tapped Pence to lead the administration’s coronavirus task force.

1. So Pence is a yes, no, or maybe? /nt

[CountAllVotes]

3. Did he have a mask?

n/t !!

[littlemissmartypants]

12. His face is a permanent mask. nt

[NurseJackie]

22. Ha!

[ChiTownDenny]

25. Yup. Science wins.

HAHAHAHAHA!

[EndlessWire]

54. LOL! n/t

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

17. Exactly...nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. He's a yes to being a moron

[Faux pas]

2. I have to say

[2naSalit]

4. Covid MIke!!

Run for yer lives! He's passing it around! Remember him wiping his nose with his hand at the presser the other day?

[B Stieg]

16. The Pencearona Virus

[barbtries]

5. well.

check me if i'm wrong, but might this not be a clear path for the virus to the WH?

[Dem2theMax]

10. Ummm, possibly.

One can hope?

[barbtries]

11. I hope it peters out

and doesn't become a pandemic, but it doesn't seem to be playing out that way. If someone has to get it, why not those traitors at the WH?

[Dem2theMax]

35. I feel exactly the same way.

I don't want the world to get sick. But we probably do need some lab rats for tests. Can't think of more rats in one place than in one particular house.

[EndlessWire]

55. LOL! n/t

[Submariner]

6. I believe I saw Mikey whispering in Trumpolini's ear a couple of times this past week

if the virus-spray was able to penetrate the spray tan lotion, with some luck we may have a dead president within the week.

[EndlessWire]

56. Oh, my!

Now we know why he's pressing NIH so hard! He may need it for himself!

[IronLionZion]

7. Time to quarantine Pence, just in case

can't be too careful. As the freepers say if it saves even one child's life it's worth it.

[CountAllVotes]

8. Seriously!

Lock 'em up!

Just DO IT!

[louis-t]

9. It's ok, Mikey can just pray the virus away.

Edit to add: One of my coworkers, a very loud rump supporter, just came back from Vegas. He texted me this morning to see if I could cover for him at a closing because he "isn't feeling very well". Hmmm.

[pandr32]

13. One can hope!

Oh please, please, pretty please...

[karin_sj]

14. Pence wipes nose, then shakes hands with virus experts

https://crooksandliars.com/2020/02/watch-mike-pence-shows-why-hes-terrible

"There are plenty of reasons Pence is the wrong man for the job, and they all converge in this three-second clip from Wednesday’s press conference (via Twitter)

Yes, that’s Mike Pence, wiping his nose with his hand moments before shaking hands – and sharing his germs – with everyone standing near him.

What’s more, he did it during a press conference regarding coronavirus preparedness."

[Cyrano]

15. No problem. Pence will just pray it away.

Actually, if he were president, that would be his recommended solution.

You've really got to wonder if the prick really believes half the shit he peddles.

[BigmanPigman]

18. The student was paid by the Dems

to infect Pence so that tRump would get sick. (Rush's new conspiracy theory).

[King4ADay]

20. If that's not a real CT yet - it most certainly will be.

.

[lunasun]

52. ++Yes it will be. You know it King

[Kablooie]

19. I wouldn't mind if the virus rampaged all through the Trump administration.

[lunatica]

26. I have to admit in all truth

that I wouldn’t mind either. But no deaths resulting. That would be useless because they wouldn’t be able to face the shame of their own guilt in their actions regarding COVID 19.

[EndlessWire]

57. If they both got sick

Wouldn't that put Nancy in charge? Oh, how I wish...

[lunatica]

59. You know, I have no idea

Good question though.

[sandensea]

23. MIKE CORONA!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. LOL!

[TwilightZone]

30. Ok...

That was brilliant. Nicely done.

[sandensea]

45. Why, thank you.

I thought I would be nice if someone could make a video showing Pence's (many) dense moments, and set it to that song - which ironically, I never liked.

But that's how ridiculous he is.

[ffr]

24. Headline: Trump to tour health facilities as coronavirus revives White House briefings

IF Pence is incubating the virus, then the IMPotus may also have it by now. They meet regularly and by appearance, will be meeting more regularly.



COVID-19 kills older people disproportionately. DJT 73 y.o. Mike Pence 60 y.o.

[Marie Marie]

47. If Pence is infected then, given that he kisses Trumps ass hourly,

can Trump be next?

[getagrip_already]

28. say wtf? "The Pentagon is said to have been in touch with the school "

Does anyone else see this as either bizarre or scary?

Why is the pentagon investigating anything domestic, medical, or scientific? Why not the CDC, you know, the agency that is actually supposed to track these things? Or the secret service?

The Pentagon?

Are they planning to invade California?

[genxlib]

40. The us army has a top notch research outfit regarding infectious disease

Known as AMRIID.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Medical_Research_Institute_of_Infectious_Diseases

There is even a series of spy novels where the hero is an AMRID doctor who uses it as a cover to be an operative.

[getagrip_already]

41. so what? the CDC is a friggin branch of the military......

But it's their job to research this stuff domestically. If the pentagon is getting involved, it's either an indictment of the CDC, or a sign something very scary is going on.

The army's focus is on biological weapons and threats, not public health, despite a fancy wiki page.

[genxlib]

42. No reason to be snippy with me

I was just pointing out that they have qualifications to get involved. Its not as if they were sending in paratroopers to impose martial law.

Biological threats are often derived from plain old native viruses so their expertise has plenty of overlap.

Frankly, I am happy to get all hands on deck.

[getagrip_already]

43. sorry.. just frstrated..

no slight intended. apologies.

[genxlib]

46. No worries

It has been that kind of day/week/month/year.

[Tarc]

29. But they think the coronavirus is a hoax, so it's all good, right?

I wouldn't mind one bit if the MAGAts embrace the "it's a hoax" angle fully. Natural selection.

[dewsgirl]

31. As irresponsible as these people are, it's only a matter

of time, before the entire administration is infected.

[totodeinhere]

33. Yes, but my fear is that they will take the rest of us down with them. n/t

[dewsgirl]

34. I was just thinking, if things get really bad overall, at least

Trump's presidency will be likely be ruined by this.
I know what you are saying and I hope not.

[totodeinhere]

36. He will already go down as the worst president in our history.

So I don't know if he can go any lower than that. So he might just think he has nothing else to lose. And that's scary.

[dewsgirl]

37. After his acquital, I am already thinking this. He will

do absolutely everything to stay in position.😔 Its terrifying.

[Javaman]

32. pestilence pence. nt

[maddogesq]

38. Or, how about Pencilence? :) NT

😎

[sarcasmo]

39. When a science denier catches the virus, do they see a Doctor or pray it away?

[yardwork]

44. WATCH how fast they demand health care!

[MosheFeingold]

48. Be careful about karma here

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy (CT) met with a number of Iranian officials just a couple of weeks ago, including one who just died.

[EndlessWire]

58. Is he in quarantine?

Or, are government officials above the quarantine like they are above the law?

[MosheFeingold]

60. Good question

I think the answer is”no”.

But only because I assume we’d have heard if they were quarantined
.

[RhodeIslandOne]

49. What a shame

Vice President AIDS Outbreak has some kharma coming.

[Mendocino]

50. Heck of a job Pencey!

[karin_sj]

51. WTF...

... are they doing shaking hands anyway? Isn't that something you're not supposed to do right now? Unreal.

[Blue Owl]

53. Did mother teach him to wash his hands properly?

We'll find out...
