@ping - you are completely missing my point... I'm not arguing the point that she is either on serious life support or more than probably already deceased... as a matter of fact most people that have been here a while and keep up on more than just SCOTUS stuff are all about 95% sure that she is. Been trying to let you know that those things that you reference are called "props" in movies and plays. Could they have some deep esoteric messaging and meaning only to the relatively small group of attendees at the production? Sure... ok... why not (?) But ask yourself this question... what would the significance of the "slow trickle" and "deep symbology", as you propose, indicate? What many pretty well have suspected since she "busted a couple of ribs"? I definitely do not think she attended this production in her own honor (she would have been seated somewhere in the front three rows if she had as is customary) as the media reported.... it was cover for her absence from SOTU. When they opt to finally announce her passing - it will be on the level of no name and GHWB... designed to happen at a specific time, to block and obstruct multiple news cycles, and clog the "announcement pipeline" of serious releases of data, testimonies, and/or information - just like they attempted at the two a fore mentioned releases - "they need a new playbook".
