Neither does he sitting by himself at a desk or walking with his wife from point a to point b, outdoors. We've all seen the footage.
C'mon, he is setting a bad example, let us admit that much.

He is setting a bad example by following CDC guidelines?

Good. Nothing wrong with either one of these.
 
Because seeing the President wearing a mask would make you want to wear one? Right... So let's go back to 2020 and apply this same logic shall we?

Labor day celebrations were outdoors. Sporting events are outdoors. Of course the left defends Biden and the right would defend if Trump had handed out sandwiches. Doesn't make it right.

What’s the complaint then?
 
They're outdoors, Love. Don't you remember? It's still okay to not mask outdoors.

This may no longer be accurate.

Delta packs a much higher viral load, and needs far less specimens to infect someone. Outdoors was fine when 40-60 specimens where required to infect someone, but delta can spread with far less specimens, and the infected are exhaling a lot more of them.
 
I personally don't care for crowds, indoors or out. In this case, I'm willing to bet that staff vetted the vaccination status of the other guys in the picture.
 
Thank you.

Sturgis is a small town - all bars and few other hang out places were full of bikers... And what do you think was happening in motels around there?
 
They forgot to tell him to wear a mask.

So it is an unfortunate what? How many people will see this picture and think it is ok to serve food, received food...without masks? I don't want to be served by people who potentially spit on my dinner.

My workplace requires vaccination or you don't work there. We still wear masks.

We lost 3 people pretty early on, and they're just too difficult to replace. Since we went full court press, we have had one (1) case and no deaths.

Tell me, where does the CDC says 'Sitting at a desk by yoruself' you need a mask? Or, outside near another vaccinated person? Please, I would love to see that.

there were a lot of bars in sturgis, where there were no masks. You know.. inside, bars, drinking, lots of people closely packed and being loud?

Nobody does. What's that got to do with COVID? The spitting danger exits independently.

Bars are terrible for spreading COVID. It's just the nature of the business. Conviviality, close quarters, drinking, voices getting louder. It's tailor made for spreading.

Did you ever criticize Trump for never wearing a mask?
 

Do you have some references for those?
