US Vice President Mike_Pence tweeted, and then deleted, a photo showing a large group Trump's reelection campaign staff not wearing face masks or social distancing
Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening tweeted, and then deleted, a photo showing a large group of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign staff not wearing face masks or social distancing, two recommendations of the coronavirus task force that Pence leads.
Health experts have long warned that a lack of social distancing could result in a second peak in the virus. Nationally more than 1.9 million people have been infected by the virus and more than 112,000 have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Pence drew considerable scrutiny in April when he toured the Mayo Clinic medical facility without a mask -- a move he later conceded was wrong.
