What virus? At GOP's convention, pandemic is largely ignored

India Today  

It was a scene from a bygone era: Vice President Mike Pence shaking hands with and fist-bumping audience members who had rushed forward, standing shoulder to shoulder, to greet him and the president after Pence's speech at the Republican National Convention. Some told reporters they had not been tested for the coronavirus before Wednesday night's gathering at Fort McHenry in Baltimore A more striking scene could unfold Thursday night, when more than 1,000 people were expected to assemble on the South Lawn of the White House for President Donald Trump's renomination acceptance speech. Health and economic impacts were tragic," said White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on the convention's second night. Guidance sent to invited guests for Thursday's event from the Republican National Committee makes clear that masks will not be required on the South Lawn, but are required upon arrival and in security screening areas and encouraged in "high traffic areas including restrooms and hospitality spaces." "The president and the entire RNC, they had an opportunity to show the seriousness of this pandemic, which is the worst public health crisis in our lifetimes, and it's extremely concerning that only did they not discuss precautions like wearing masks and social distancing, they are going against all of our public health guidance," said Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy at The George Washington University and the former health commissioner of Baltimore.
