Hairstylists with coronavirus passed it along to zero people

Though it’s not directly mentioned in the article, it appears that these two hairstylists were wearing masks when they saw 140 customers while showing symptoms of COVID-19. There were records of everyone they had seen, and no one developed the illness! This seems like a big win for masks.

Meanwhile, VP Pence (theoretical head of the COVID-19 task force) apparently didn’t get the memo on masks because he posted a picture of their campaign staff crammed into an office and maskless. Wonder why he deleted that tweet?
