"... unable to be present..."

Five days after Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., with “flu-like symptoms,” the Supreme Court is providing no updates on his condition. For the third consecutive day, the 73-year-old justice was not on the bench when the justices heard oral argument; the court’s only comment on Thomas’ status Wednesday came from Chief Justice John Roberts, who indicated that Thomas “was unable to be present” but would nonetheless participate in the consideration and decision of Wednesday’s case based on the briefs and oral argument transcript.
The court announced on Sunday evening that Thomas had been hospitalized on Friday night and had been diagnosed with “an infection” for which he was receiving intravenous antibiotics. Thomas was “resting comfortably,” the court’s public information office indicated, and “expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two.” However, by Wednesday evening, there was no indication that Thomas had in fact been released.

He needs a food taster, ASAP.
Thomas is, above all others, indispensable. He MUST recover.
He wasn't found with a pillow covering his face like Scalia, was he? Of course there was nothing fishy there and an investigation wasn't warranted.
/Extr Sarc!
Wasn’t that just incredible!
Sounds like covid. Poor guy.
Hopefully a quick recovery.
Maybe this is why there are all the high profile covid positive cases of triple vaxed and previous covid cases.
They need cover for Thomas’ illness. I hope he has private security. 24 hour, medically trained private security.
Sepsis
You are correct perhaps...IV antibiotics. But sepsis requires an origin. I would like to know his.
Omicron ba2 has all the infectiousness of its first cousin but much more serious consequences.
Dropped right out of the news, though, didn’t it?
I also hope he has private security. Chilling.
It’s none of anyone’s business.
God speed Justice Thomas!
Hopefully not loaded with 'the ends justify the means' leftists

high dose vitamin C to knock out sepsis
The amount of paranoia and conspiracy theories about AJ Thomas and AJ Scalia are embarrassing. But that’s the way an increasing number of FReepers roll.
At the time when AJ Scalia died, there were FReepers calling for an autopsy REGARDLESS of the family’s wishes. Disgusting.
Count me in. I think Scalia was killed.
An unattended death usually requires a autopsy regardless of the family’s wishes.
Good to know but I doubt they are using it at the hospital.
An umbrella strike?
