Last Updated 10:55 PM EST -- The People's leader Xi Jinping has not been seen in public for the last 5 days.  He is also missing from page one of the China Daily paper.

Did he get sick with "Coronavirus?"

Did he die?

Did he blame the military and get taken out of power?

No one knows, or, if they do know, they're not saying  . . .
