What Went Down During The Vice Presidential Debate

Nate, I think I’m with Clare on this. Reminding people of those panicky months in March and April seems like a reasonable retrospective move.

I don’t know, Nate. There is a lot of power in drawing attention back to the panic and pain that people (not Trump) felt and are still feeling. Right? Also, it points out how long the pandemic has been going on.

We have to address the plexiglass barriers. Many experts have pointed out that the small plexiglass barriers don’t really reduce risk of transmission. Barriers could maybe help with large respiratory droplets, but those are largely avoided by keeping more than six feet apart. The bigger risk in an indoor space are the smaller, lightweight particles that can float in the air and travel further while still carrying the virus. When it comes to those particles, a plastic barrier won’t have much impact. Opening a window would be more effective.
