It is a interesting article. I remember when it came out, I got excited. The article lays the pretext using the coronavirus and a scenario where the government officials become disabled and establishes a "continuity of government". I'm sure the same rules apply if an insurrection occurs and most of our government are arrested for treason.

I find it interesting (excerpt from archived link in magpie17 comment) that Biden and Harris are frequently near one another physically when the protocol this article discusses should have positions in line of succession 'remain physically separated...' Either this pandemic is a nothing burger or, this administration isn't subject to the protections afforded by these contingency plans.
"Orders have already gone out that Secretary of Defense Esper and his deputy, David Norquist, remain physically separated, to guard against both of them becoming incapacitated. Other national security agencies are following suit, and the White House continuity specialists are readying evacuation should the virus sweep through the Executive Mansion."
