50. Face masks not allowed

Sat Oct 3, 2020, 07:49 PM

Oct 2020

Some WH employees believed that they didn't have to wear masks because they were getting frequent tests. But the tests didn't protect them from getting the virus. Isn't it better to do all possible not to get the virus in the first place? The staffers felt compelled to go mask-less because of Trump's attitude about them. I wonder if Trump has had one moment of remorse since he's been hospitalized. Silly me.
