I love that he didn’t wear a mask. As this pandemic progresses, it’s becoming clear that regarding the true nature of covid, we’ve been had.

Democrats have ALWAYS wanted to wear masks as their entire existence revolves around stealing Americans money.

Because he is a robot. He he isn’t alive. A CIA kid sitting on a sofa in Kansas with a joystick controls Mike’s movement. 👍

Much of what politicians do only involves what will win or lose them votes in the next election.

That photo will provide the media with ammo right thru the election and cost many votes. Regardless of whether or not it was medically okay.

Almost makes me wonder about what Pence was thinking. He had to know how bad it would look. Or else he is incredibly tone deaf.

People wearing N-95 masks while walking down the street alone or driving in their car alone is STUPID. It can also to dangerous.

Wearing an N95 mask is dangerous to some, especially someone with lung disease. It is harder to breath is the N95 mask if the mask has a tight fit. Someone with lung disease should not have any added restriction on their breathing that a tight N95 mask would add.

A properly fit tight N95 mask increases the wearer's "work of breathing." A loose N95 mask also is ridiculous. The whole point of an N95 mask is to filter the air you breath in order to protect you from airborne particles getting through into your nasal passages and into your lungs.

A regular surgical mask or cloth covering protects you from blasting your spit onto someone near you or if they are wearing a surgical mask, it will protect you from their spit.

Covid-19 is droplet(spit) spread. Not airborne. Covid spit can kill the vulnerable.

Be safe. Do no harm.

As a Registered Nurse, I wore gloves, a gown, and face protection if there was potential for me to come in contact with the blood of a patient. If a respiratory disease was suspected, I wore a mask, eye goggles, and gloves. So did every visitor to the patient.

Well the flubros won't be visiting this nurse. They will take their business elsewhere.

I read in another article that the Mayo Clinic has a policy requiring everyone to wear a mask. Pence should have been aware of that policy, or made aware of it onsite, and was not.

And - it looks like they deferred to his position and didn’t tell him of the policy...I bet if someone had mentioned it to him, he would have had a mask on.
