Lest anyone think that ignoring warnings aimed at mere mortals is something new...

How about Mike Pence yesterday at Mayo Clinic without a mask, even though he was told about their policy to wear masks hospital-wide. Shouldn't he be setting an example?

Well he is doing that!

For your information "Regularly" could mean every-hour or so which is more then every day. So he could be more safe then you and I thought....

Preliminary research suggests that virus aerosols may also be spread simply by breathing; no sneezes or coughs required!

I'm somewhat heartened by the decrease in daily covid deaths throughout the world. NY is less than half of what it was a couple of weeks ago and quite a few states are now in the single digits. I personally believe it's due to isolation measures, but it's nonetheless comforting that the worst case scenarios have not come to pass.

Estimates about the total number of unreported infections are orders of magnitude different, but it's also true that our area has not been severely hit. My fingers are crossed that it continues as restrictions are lifted.

I'm immunocompromised and will continue to stay home, but I do feel better about grocery stores and take-out from restaurants, just from an odds standpoint.

Do as I say......not as I do.

Shame on the people you mention and shame on the nursing homes for allowing this!

What if the packaging of food is sneezed on or coughed on by an asymptomatic carrier of the virus? The virus can be transmitted that way when another person touches the food packaging. How can the FDA guarantee this scenario can not happen? IMHO, the FDA can not.

Of course you can. That is the point I just made with my previous post. I don't like to think this but, I'm not so sure I have complete confidence in the FDA.

Sorry, but I don't see it this way. Americans need to have good examples set for them. Not wearing masks in these scenarios is not setting a good example.

Pence has since admitted he should have worn a mask. At least he admitted it.

Correct
