MSNBC's Morning Joe News Anchors often turn to medical correspondent Dr. Vin Gupta for advice regarding medical issues confronting Americans (and the world). During the COVID-19 crisis, the situation has been no different. Clarification can weaken confusing sides, which is a breath of fresh air during difficult times.
With that in mind, COVID-19 vaccinations are increasing, and Americans are hitting the streets again. What are suitable interpretations regarding the CDC recommendations of mask-wearing along with social distancing when out in public? Dr. Gupta gives us interpretations in the video below:
Erroring on the side of caution (i.e., wearing a mask) is good practice when surrounded by people nearby. Vaccination passports have been suggested on a larger (global) scale, but ethical issues remain. Until further guidance is given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the safe practice would be to wear a mask when the distance is less than 5 feet between people in public.
