"Virtually Touring?"

 I sat and watched the White Press Conference from yesterday (Friday).  

So on Monday, President Biden will apparently 'tour' a vaccination production facility....by virtually being there.  

What that means?  Some volunteer from the White House (maybe a whole team) will be sent to the location....given some geeky equipment, and do the walk with the camera giving Biden reference points and talking points by the director of the place.  

Odds of comments by production workers?  Probably, with Biden commenting back to them...'keep it Pony-Soldier' or 'Americas counting on you'.  There's probably a cheat sheet with 300 Biden-isms already typed up and ready for the 'big-guy' to comment upon.

Why not actually go there?  That wasn't made clear by Psaka.

If you asked me....there's a tight control on sleeping hours and performances required for President Biden.  If you woke the guy up at 4 AM, and got him on a plane by 7 AM....his peak is probably from 8 to 12.  From that point on, it's anyone's guess how things go.

This being the norm for 2021?  It wouldn't shock me if he has fewer than 30 actual appearances in the year, and most around Washington DC itself.  

One other side of this....if you had personal appearances where the crowds might be anti-Biden, it'd really start to suggest that the nation isn't behind him, and there is a serious public issue with him.  By going virtual....you avoid that situation.
