..maybe hes not on the committee needed? Hunkering down in the midst of all this is OK with me...

and they're supposed to be at least 6'.

Apparently only the lady on the right listens to the CDC.

He is not needed for anything.

most prudent under the circumstances. We should be trying to come together and we should stop taking political potshots at each other.

is being spread by Bernie supporters, see. So, look to your own friends for the infighting thing.

Where is Bernie, anyhow? The Senate is in session. Shouldn't he be there, I mean, with these important COVID-19 reaction funding bills being pushed through he Senate? Doesn't his vote matter?

applies to everybody.

I hope that both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, both at high risk due to age, will do whatever they consider prudent under the circumstances. If Bernie has not been anywhere near Rand Paul I am gratified and if that means staying away from the Senate chamber then so be it. The Senate rules need to be changed immediately to allow virtual sessions to take place via video conferencing. I am trying to save Bernie's life while you seem more interested in taking pot shots at him. And it's just as bad when Bernie supporters take shots at Joe Biden and you won't see me doing that.

he'll be in an ideal position in the horrible event that something bad should happen to Joe Biden. Good thinking, Bernie. You stay in Vermont...

He has form, and people remember.

"Your attitude is noticed! Oh yes, it is noticed!"

I am not leaving it to "trust" and blind faith.

Who said that? But, then, Bernie's being "prudent," it seems, and being at the Senate apparently isn't "prudent" for the Senator from Vermont. But, he can rail at the Senate from his house in Vermont. He just won't be voting in the Senate.

he should also tell the public. He is at serious risk if he's got it. Otherwise he should haul ass back to DC and do his job.

The right thing for who?!

Warren is in Washington, Kamala Harris is in Washington. Sanders is the other side of the Trump coin

just go away when he's continued the same devastating behaviors right up to today and as we are living with their dreadful and unforgivable consequences.

Btw, the average age on this forum is rather high. Dying of this disease, and surviving a bad case, is like drowning -- for hours and days. The plus to those who don't get hospital care is that the agony will be shortened.

We don't know how many of us, of all ages, will die and/or lose people we love before election day, but maybe it'd be best to back off on the "let's all just blow it off" wishfulness. Tragically too late to for those Sanders convinced not to vote by his insistence that Democrats and Republicans are "Tweedledum and Tweedledee." This would not be happening if Hillary was president and Schumer and Pelosi were leading Democratic majority caucuses.

secure communications system to cast votes or log on in order to be present.

members of Congress and Senators must vote in person on the floor of their house's chamber. It would take a major rule change to alter that. I think we would have heard about that.

leadership Group to figure out some type of system as of late Friday.

... at the drop of a hat, at the leaders discretion. Just like we should be making preparations for the November elections to be conducted completely by mail. Let's actually try to learn the lesson that this event is trying so desperately to teach us, and prepare for the worst case outcome.

as he said he was? Other senators are in DC trying to help the American people (Democrats are, anyway).

so maybe that's OK. It wouldn't be "prudent" for him to travel to DC. COVID-19, you know.

We deserve to know the truth. Has he been tested? If not, why not? If so, what were the results? These are fair and legitimate questions.

How do you do a round table on COVID 19 with no medical experts?

AT least Bernie isn't pretending that we are going to get a good plan. That is as likely as a retroactive impeachment conviction.

No Democrats on the Did Not Vote list at all. I find that telling, actually.
