    “Vice President Mike Pence tours Mayo Clinic without coronavirus mask even though he was told to wear one”

    Seriously, if you don’t do it for yourself, at least do it for the sick people and the medical workers you’re visiting.

      @Axtremus

      I saw that in the news also, and Vice President Pence said he did not have to because he gets tested quite often along with everyone around him. He should know then that people can be showing no symptoms but still have the disease.

        Just out of peer pressure I’m surprised he kept a mask off. When everyone around you is talking in a mask/muffle voice.... it’s awkward if you aren’t doing the same.

            Follow up to the story:
            https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/pence-staff-threatens-action-against-reporter-who-tweeted-about-visit-to-clinic-without-surgical-mask/2020/04/30/27c63056-8b0a-11ea-9dfd-990f9dcc71fc_story.html

            Now Pence’s staff is threatening retaliation against a reporter who tweeted that they have all been informed about the requirement to wear masks. So petty!

              As I said in another thread, an unforced error.

                My guess is he wanted to look good to Trump, in particular he wanted to look not weak to Trump, and he knows Trump 'chooses not' to wear a mask.

                      That probably reduces some of the effectiveness.

                        For certain values of ‘effective’.

                        She could probably run with it. I mean, if she could run.

                          A Republican Ohio state representative cited his religious beliefs to explain why he would not wear a mask as recommended by Gov. Mike DeWine (R) to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.

                          “This is not the entire world,” state Rep. Nino Vitale wrote in a lengthy Facebook post on Monday morning. “This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles.”

                          “One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face. I will not wear a mask,” he continued.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
