In reply to the discussion: There is a growing anger evident on my TV this morning. [View all]BumRushDaShow
(165,874 posts)118. I saw some video blips last night of Tillis who was in one of the front rows
and apparently he had one on.
So that would be a case where if he had not been inside the WH in a more closed-in setting and maskless to meet with Barrett and/or others (which is something that a subset of that crowd did), then this is an example of the "confusion" of what a mask does in this instance.
I.e., the phrase "My mask protects you and your mask protects me" because unless you have some kind of N95/KN95 mask on, then you can still inhale fine particulate-shed coronavirus through that mask, although your own droplets would be trapped in the mask, with limited spread coming from yourself.

I think he's gravely ill already. He became too sick to hide it, then the story leaked out.

Anger is one of the "stages" of denial and reconciliation. It's natural. n/t

Most human beings are decent and can manage sympathy, even for fools. Trump is different.
