Student Quarantined Days After Classmates Shook Mike Pence's Hand, Report Says
Source: Reuters
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 academys 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 administrations coronavirus task force.

Yes, thats Mike Pence, wiping his nose with his hand moments before shaking hands and sharing his germs with everyone standing near him.
Whats more, he did it during a press conference regarding coronavirus preparedness."

(21,624 posts)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.

(22,669 posts)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.

(14,708 posts)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?

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.

(14,708 posts)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
(5,524 posts)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.
