He is especially vulnerable because of his age and heart condition, so I hope he doesn't have it. He might be just self-isolating because of his vulnerability. But he should be honest and explain why he hasn't gone back to the Senate like everybody but those four or five senators who have been exposed.

Transparency. But he wouldn't want to say why because it would bring his liabilities front and center.

And I don't blame him if he's worried; we're all worried. But if that's the reason he's staying away from the Senate he should say so. Maybe he doesn't want to bring up his health; he wouldn't release his complete medical records even before the pandemic hit. So that's clearly a sore issue for him. If he were to say, "I'm almost 80 and I have a heart condition, so I have decided to stay home," people would understand. But chances are he doesn't want to do that because he wants people to believe he's healthy enough for the presidency.

When was he last seen in public or live video?

but not show up for a vote?

Wonder what's up with that? I'm curious if he might be ill or if he is really frightened of becoming so?

cause the current look isn't very good for him

StaySafe!

Wondering if you could put it in your Journal for now until I've read it?

with a rigid strategy that failed. I wouldn't read much into his absence without any evidence. If it were a health issue I doubt they could keep it quiet this long.

He plans to stay in at least to April's primary in NY

BOC be damned!

Bernie is 78 and has a heart condition, maybe he is just doing what the experts on C19V have told us what to do?What the hell is wrong with you people on DU? Why are you so fascinated with Bernie Sanders. I think it is fear, you fear his ideas truth and principles.

Biden isn't a Senator. Bernie, however, has a job, which is being a Senator, and it's fair to ask him why he isn't doing his job. If he's worried about getting sick we get that, so all he has to do is say "I'm almost 80 and I have a heart condition so I'm staying home."

instead of insisting he's still in the race. And what I fear is someone incapable of getting the job himself, will out of a matter of ego, land us, yet again, with the Menace we currently have in office.

where everyone except those that have COVID-19 or those that had contact with someone that did have it, are at work.

Critical issues are being debated, many of those issues are ones Senator Sanders claims that he cares about. Why isn't he in the Senate waging an effort to procure emergency policy for societal change that he claims he cares about?

If I did not show for my job I would be fired.

right now. It has me wondering. I am too but we went to stock up because we are in an area that is a hot spot and the governor is considering a shut down.

Perhaps waited until he knew that he would be interviewed from the Senate hall or whatever the place is called where the networks conduct their interviews.

First it was John Thume and it was funny to see him kinda hiding behind a column until it was his turn.

And thinks the only thing he needs to do is pull a lever and call it a day?
