I find that I don't know what day it is. It happens a lot. Today, I thought it was Sunday until I turned on the TV and the news said it's Tuesday. It is Tuesday right?

A few people were wearing masks. About half of them had them on under their chins including the driver of the bus that went by at an intersection. I hear it doesn't work as well in that position. 90% of people weren't wearing masks.
So the thing with the homemade masks (not sure if that's what the bus driver was wearing, though) is that they really don't do anything to keep you from GETTING the virus. What they DO work at is limiting how far the virus will go if the mask-wearer is contagious. So a bus driver wouldn't really need to wear one all the time, only when he is interacting with passengers. And it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable wearing one, so I don't blame him for getting some fresh air during times where the only thing he's infecting is his windshield.
Fauci finally made an appearance today after being missing in action since last week. Then he went to the mic and directly contradicted what Trump just said. Also the CDC director was called up first to fall on his sword for the comments he made yesterday, then he proceeded to restate what he said yesterday. If we lose any more of the top leadership of scientists working on covid, it will be a disaster. Trump already "reassigned" the top scientist in charge of the US effort to develop a vaccine. 18-24 months was aspirational if everything went absolutely perfectly. Dismissing the person in charge of that effort won't help.
