Vice President Mike Pence has decided to comply with the CDC's recommendations for stopping coronavirus spread.
Pence visited a factory in Indiana producing ventilators on Thursday and, following medical experts' recommendations, put on a mask in preparation for coming face to face with some machinery and the people making it. That shouldn't be noteworthy given that the entire country has been advised to wear masks when around other people, but Pence flouted that guidance when visiting actual COVID-19 patients earlier this week.
