    “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.

    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!

      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.

      He was projecting leadership. And spittle.

      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.

                      I wonder if he wears a hat and gloves in the winter????

                      Actually, why does he wear clothes at all? 🙄

                        I'll bet Jesus wore a mask of sorts, during a dust storm.

                                The concept of avoiding unnecessary travel, avoiding unnecessary in-person contact, that seems to be unclear to the current White House. Why do you want to visit hospitals and clinics? None of it is necessary. Just stay home.

                                    With all of her fearless social activism where she is always on the correct side of every issue, it's difficult to believe Alyssa Milano is actually pretty stupid.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                        @Axtremus did Alyssa Milano's mask have a filter in it?

                                        If so, it's not apparent from the picture she posted, and it gives the false impression that a crocheted mask is effective.
