Maybe Bernie has Corona?

[boston bean]

That is why he is in VT?

Just announced Rand Paul has it. So, could be a possibility????

[hlthe2b]

1. I sincerely and truly hope not, but I don't blame him for being cautious.

[TwilightZone]

2. He's probably in VT because it's safer for him to be home.

As it is with anyone who is in a vulnerable group.

3. Paul likely infected a lot of senators and staff....

He was filibustering, making inane amendments, and generally doing everything he could to convince senators to not support the bills before the senate. He had a lot of face time with senators - but likely not sanders. There really isn't much for them to talk about, and besides, bernie has really not been in washington at all for months.

So yeah, a lot of senators could have it. And considering their ages, it will take a toll. But paul didn't infect bernie.

But rest assured they will get the best, most promising drugs, and have access to the respirators and private suites if needed.

6. If I were a Senator, I would stay as far as possible from Rand Paul

at all times. Just saying...

[SiliconValley_Dem]

14. Good advice at any time when speaking of Rand Paul

[karynnj]

11. Bernie was in DC for the debate last week and to vote for the bill. Nt

[getagrip_already]

12. true - but they were stretching the vote out

so only a few people were in chambers at once. And "debate" was largely to an empty chamber. They were already socially isolating by the time that vote came around. They just don't advertise it.

He easily could have avoided all human contact. He is good at that.

[Me.]

4. I Have Been Wondering If There Was Something Seriously Wrong

Because let's face it, he's hiding out

[NCProgressive]

5. If he does, it is his duty to inform the electorate

[Blue_true]

22. Like he informed us about his heart attack, or that he likely fainted when

he hit his head before the heart attack.

Unfortunately, Senator Sanders and his staff have shown a willingness not to share pertinent information with the public when it is in the campaign's best interests not to.

[The Magistrate]

7. Possible, Sir, But Not Likely At This Point

A poor imitation of Achilles sulking in his tent remains the probable reason....

[spooky3]

26. Sir, it is so good to have you back with us. nt

[Celerity]

30. so who is Bernie's Patroklus?

[denem]

35. A: A horse

[comradebillyboy]

8. Bernie is a little bit busy running for president so

he just can't find the time to work with his Senate colleagues to find a path through this crisis. As always Bernie is always laser focused on Bernie.

[MineralMan]

9. I doubt it. Maybe he's isolating himself, just in case

something bad should happen to Joe Biden.

[Skya Rhen]

25. This.

[karynnj]

10. I doubt it because the state updates the cases daily and no one fitting his description

has been included for Chittenden county, where his house is.

[TexasTowelie]

15. Yes, but he also has two other homes.

The vacation home in Vermont and his home in D.C. If his personal status was reported through the D.C. home, then the Vermont HHS wouldn't him in their data.

[karynnj]

23. It was the one in Burlington

He was not in DC and Vermonters do no go to their Lake Champlain camp in winter.

[NurseJackie]

13. Interesting idea. I suppose it's quite possible.

[Gothmog]

31. Did sanders' rally flop?

33. Wait! Wha-huh? Only 4000 viewers? And there really WAS a "musical guest"???

Wait! Wha-huh? Only 4000 viewers? And there really WAS a "musical guest"??? First time I heard "musical guest" I thought someone was joking. It's real?? If so, that's hysterical.

Today's kids like something called "rock and roll", supposedly.

Bernie and The Squad Show

In COLOR! Coming up next over most of these NBC stations. Check your local listings.

Haaaaaa!

[zackymilly]

16. I don't think Bernie has Corona. I heard he only drinks Russian vodka. n/t

[NurseJackie]

19. Oh, honey! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[Aaron Pereira]

17. I certainly hope not.

The fact is it's possible and both of our remaining candidates are in a high risk group. Joe hasn't been seen in public since Tuesday but that's probably just to provide some measure of self protection. I think it's unlikely that he's been infected and hope they both remain well.

[Hortensis]

18. Sanders is very high risk and also can't campaign normally.

And since he's always self-exiled himself from the work of the senate, he's only needed to break or avoid a tie. It's reasonable, and even sensible, to go home. He may also plan to be reborn after disappearing for a time. He did that after losing in 2016.

[NurseJackie]

20. Maybe he's writing a book.

[Hortensis]

21. Lol, I'm sure not betting you he's not. Titles already used:

Nov. 15, 2016: "Our Revolution, a Future to Believe In.

Aug 2017: "Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution"

Nov 2018: "Where Do We Go From Here?"

He's overdue for 2019, but he had the Democratic Party to overthrow and big money flowing in.

[zackymilly]

24. March 2020: "How To Buy Your 4th House"

[Happy Hoosier]

27. I hope not.

I don't like the guy, but his voice is a service in the Senate.

[sop]

28. I pray both Joe and Bernie stay well, and suggest they limit their possible exposure to this virus.

All we need is a repeat of the "Hillary is dying" crap from 2016. Remember when the media was convulsing because she was dehydrated from the flu?

29. #WhereIsBernie is trending on twitter

32. Please don't do that. I despise Bernie, but rumor mongering is always bad

[boston bean]

34. It was a nicety.
