I think of their choice to wear a mask as an example. They, like previous Presidents, have the power to influence with their choices. Do you choose to wear a mask when you visit the CDC or Mayo Hospital thus visually signaling in a message stronger than just words that you want others to wear masks? Or do you say that we will get Covid under control sooner if people wear masks but refuse to wear one yourself?
Will Garth get criticism?
Yes |
I think Garth Brooks should have put his mask on when it came time for the hugfest, AND it was heartwarming to see the hugfest. Both of these things were true at the same time.
I ALSO think that the Bidens could have taken the masks off while they were on the balcony, long enough for the press to get good shots/videos of their smiling faces. I would have liked that. But I "get" that they wanted to send a message that they'll walk the talk. Again, both of these things were true at the same time.
