    A few observations from actually listening to some of the briefings rather than just commenting on pictures:

    1. Several weekends ago Dr. Brix was mia. When she returned to the briefing she acknowledged that her absence was due to having a slight fever and she had self quarantined because of that.

    2. There were Several reports that anyone allowed into the room is first being checked for a fever.

    3. Sometime after the 15 minute test was available the President met with a group of business leaders and commented that they were all pleased to know that they had tested negative.

    There is probably even more going on with the Secret Service protecting those two protectees than these acknowledged steps!
    Why risk it ? You know that the President and the Vice President are not allowed to fly on the same plane don't you?

    New to the forum and knows it all....sigh.......
    What does how long someone has been on this particular forum have to do with what someone knows or does not know ? I was born late at night....but it wasn't late last night.

    So, what do you think I don't know that I should know ? I'm always willing to learn.....sigh....

    Those 2 people are problem tested more often than anyone else in the nation, followed closely by those they regularly come in contact with.

    I’d be willing to bet they have a lower chance of becoming infected standing together at that podium than you or I would standing in the middle of an empty parking lot.

    Maybe lets say it is highly discouraged.

    I’m willing to bet the principles’ schedules and protection resources drive the decision more than anything else.

    Continuity of Operations/Continuity of Government is a thing, but it isn’t Designated Survivor in the real world.

    If you listen to the briefing instead of just the optics, you can often glean the reasoning. Camera angle also makes them appear closer together.

    They are tested frequently, unlike us peons.

    Trump has said specifically that he has been tested twice since all of this started. What do you consider frequently ?

    I listen very closely to every one of the briefings.

    Frequently as in how many times have you been tested?

    What has that got to do with whether or not Trump, Pence and the rest of the posse are tested ? You said they were tested frequently, so i just wondered what do you consider frequently ?

    How long ago do you think it's been since Trump first got tested? It wasn't that long ago, but now he's been tested twice. Now I don't know exactly how many times the staff at the White House is being tested, but when they say they are being tested frequently, I'll take their word on it.
    Now what I believe, is that it's more important that Trump and his administration have these briefings to reassure the public, than it is for them to hide away and just have one spokesperson leaving people to wonder what has happened.

    Well first of all, that is not his immediately family and he does not live with all of those people. There were 20 or 25 in his office the other day including Pence and the rest of the key people and another 20 or so that there is not a doubt many are exposed to people outside of that small group.

    And second, it sends a pretty crappy message of "do as I say, not as I do," to the entire world about social distancing.
    How do you know that all of those people are not sharing the same domicile? Between the standard rooms and the labyrinth of bunkers below there is shelter/housing for hundreds.
