Not where most people were working from home, of course not. But government officials were required to be present for duty and run the country.

I'm not on the wrong side of history for saying we should hear all the evidence before rushing to judgement. That rule should always apply.

Things are not always as they first seem. That's what juries are reminded of before they start hearing cases.
