Sen. Doug Jones scolds GOP colleagues for not wearing masks
Alabama Sen. Doug Jones criticized some of his Republican colleagues on Wednesday for their refusal to wear protective masks at work in the Capitol, accusing the GOP lawmakers of setting a poor example for Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I was waiting to get on the subway yesterday, and a group of Republican senators got off,” Jones, a Democrat, told CNN, referring to the underground people mover systems beneath the halls of Congress that connect to the Senate office buildings.
“Not a single one of them or their staffs were wearing masks,” he continued. “I think that sends a wrong message. I would like to see the administration — the president, the vice president, whenever they are out, they need to be wearing a mask.”
Meant to help prevent the transmission of Covid-19, masks have emerged as an unexpected political flashpoint since early April, when the Trump administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began advising the wearing of cloth face coverings outside the home.

It's an airborne virus that can kill. I honestly don't get these whiney little boys who feel their freedumb is compromised.
