No mask

VP Mike Pence refused to wear a mask during his visit to Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic, which requires all staff, patients, and visitors to wear a face-covering while at the medical center https://t.co/iYUBhf71Ch

Apparently, the clinic didn't want to offend the VP

This kinda sums it up

As all should know by now, the mask doesn't protect YOU. It protects others. Refusing to wear a mask in a hospital does not show courageous disregard of your *own* safety. It shows callous indifference to the safety of the hospitalized and those who care for the hospitalized

A good question
