This is insanity.  I feel like a kid when I first read the story The Emperor's New Clothes.  It seems likely that Pence won't wear a mask because that would make President Trump the only one who refuses to wear one.  If he refuses, the Vice President better do the same regardless of the harm it does in sending the message that these recommendations don't need to be taken seriously.  Not to mention the potential harm to him and others by not wearing a mask in a health facility.  Pence having tested negative completely ignores the science that he could have become infected and contagious before it shows up in a test.  I wish it were possible to ignore these things but there are a lot of Americans dying and a great many suffering.  I am just stunned by this kind of behavior at the highest levels of our government.  I need to go watch more replays of moments of Stanford sports glory so I don't have to finish my bottle of Maker's.

Cheers,
Pete F.
