The event is super spread. They're almost always inside, nothing's 100%, but it's almost invariable that it's indoors. So when you are indoors, make sure you have a mask, when you're outdoors, keep the mask on. Anthony Fauci I keep the mask on, keep the windows open. Anthony Fauci That's the reason why we and other rich countries have to exert what I think is a moral responsibility to help the rest of the world get this under control, a year from now we'll be in really much better shape than we are now, but there'll be other countries that won't be.
