   VP Debate Should Be On Zoom, Experts Say, Calling Plexiglass 'Infection   
   Prevention   
   Theater'  11:41 AM PDT   
      
   "Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris of California will face off   
   on a   
   stage in Salt Lake City, seated more than 12 feet apart and separated by   
   plexiglass barriers.   
      
   "But infection prevention experts say the plans remain strikingly inadequate.   
   Angela Rasmussen, a virologist and associate research scientist at the Center   
   of   
   Infection and Immunity at the Columbia University School of Public Health,   
   suggests that it’s tough to fully capture in words what she felt upon   
   learning of   
   the safety protocol. “I laughed, in a hopeless, bitter, heartbroken way,”   
   says   
   Rasmussen. “In other words, LOLSOB.”   
      
   "Saskia Popescu, an infection prevention specialist at George Mason University,   
   felt similarly dismayed.   
      
   "... Yahoo Life Medical Contributor Dr. Dara Kass...   
   "...says the fact that he has tested negative in the days since Trump’s   
   diagnosis   
   doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t carrying the virus — hence the CDC’s   
   recommendation to quarantine for two weeks. “There is literally no evidence   
   to   
   support ending quarantine with negative tests,” says Kass. “And what   
   we’re   
   watching happen over and over again from people in the White House is that you   
   will test negative, and then the next day you will test positive.”   
      
   "Kass worries about the potential implications of Pence’s decision...   
   "...“I mean, why would anybody in America who has been exposed to COVID   
   quarantine   
   now if the head of the COVID task force won’t do it?”

   I would just point out, Pence went out out to eat, misleading people into   
   thinking   
   this is a good idea.  As much as one may or may not condone, any government   
   restrictions, it's like cigarettes are a real bad thing right?   
      
   How can Kamala be around Biden, if she's been exposed to Pence?
