"And a very big one for me is to be extra cautious at the gas pumps.  I wipe down everything, wear a glove and then wipe my hands after I'm done.  That is one place I am very paranoid."

Don't be so cheap...wear a glove on each hand and discard them in the trash can next to the pump when you are finished.

Steps I follow... Put on gloves, lower car window, take out credit card, insert card with left hand, punch keys with right hand, remove card and drop through car window, pump gas, remove gloves and discard. Pick up card from seat and return to wallet.

As to Pence, maybe, the "patient" was not really a patient but staged. I can't see all those with surgical masks exposing themselves to an actual patient in a hospital setting. You can defend it but think....it was stupid if it was an actual patient. The mask the patient is wearing, as you explained,  provides little protection. With all the suits in the room, it looked like Jong and his Generals taking notes. Call it Bull Sh*t but it belittles healthcare professionals who seek out masks. It tells them they are overreacting....as Pence shows the way.

You need to think of others...you may have the virus and not know it. Yet, unless required you won't wear a mask. Think MM, you could  pass it on to others and not realize it.

STAY SAFE  and take care of your mom.
