Vice President Mike Pence did not mention two of the CDC's main pieces of advice — wearing face masks and social distancing.
Wearing face coverings and practicing social distancing was front and center later on in the news conference when CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield — who wore a mask when he was not at the podium — emphasized both.
He urged Americans to"stay six feet apart from each other as much as possible. To wear face coverings when we’re in public. And to practice vigorous hand hygiene. And to commit to do so to do our part to protect the vulnerable,” he said. In a news conference on Thursday, Redfield said, “This pandemic is not over. The most powerful tool that we have, a powerful weapon, is social distancing.”
Both protective measures have become highly politicized in the United States despite being entirely supported as virus mitigation measures by the science and by public health officials in the United States and globally.
