OR, are under a 'National Security' blackout. Either way, it is rather cruel to keep up some illusion that RBG is dead if she is not.  It is also quite cruel to keep up some illusion that she is alive if she is not. If she is alive, the actions so far are keeping concerned people from sending support for her recovery, since there is NO WORD regarding same. If she is deceased, of course, it is keeping the same concerned people from properly mourning her AS WELL AS keeping the duly-elected POTUS from doing his Constitutional DUTY of nominating a replacement. The WHOLE THING STINKS like a DEAD CAT IN A SEALED BOX.
