The moderator has no protection other than distance and the screens are awfully small.
Someone said that the cashiers at Costco have better protection.

1. Harris should wear a mask thru out, apologize by stating science tells us in a room for hour and

half with a possible infected person leaves heavy loads and not being able to trust Republicans being above board with positive testings.

[secondwind]

5. Except her mask protects Pence, it doesn't protect her UNLESS

Pence is wearing one also.

[LizBeth]

12. It protects her about 30% and I hear you, but more a statement and showing responsible.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. It's Far Higher Than 30%

This is a false impression that won't go away.
Masks protect the wearer from an infected person, unmasked, around 60%, but provide a reduction in viral load in well over 90% of the time.
If masks were only 30% effective to the wearer, the medical profession would be in far worse condition than they are.
In a hospital, it's possible that 1 in 10 people a nurse, NP, PA, or doctor see in a day are infected. At 30% effectiveness, nearly everybody working there would be infected in 10 days to 2 weeks.
Wearing a mask certainly does protect others, and that's a good thing. But, it also protects us when we wear them.

[LizBeth]

21. Two different kinds of masks, what medical wears and the rest of us are wearing.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. I think N95 masks protect the wearer

[Blue Owl]

2. Who designed that, the Trump boys???

JFC...

[Leghorn21]

3. Yeah, uh

NOPE

[Newest Reality]

4. Aerodynamically designed to let air flow easily around them? Brilliant.

[Doreen]

6. F**K!!!

It looks closer than usual! Pence should just go to hell!!

[RainCaster]

7. The next presidential debate needs to be over Zoom

Because DFT will still be contagious. Then, Joe stays healthy and the moderator has an unassailable mute button.

[themaguffin]

8. They're sitting??? What bullshit.

[Talitha]

14. Maybe Pence needs to... just sayin'.

[LiberalFighter]

9. Kamala when she arrives should move the desk further away.

[Talitha]

15. THIS

[LiberalFighter]

10. Need to identify who set this up and approved it.

[Deb]

11. Yikes! Hope he doesn't make her yawn.

[ColoradoBlue]

13. Ugh

I hate that this debate is happening. I see no upside for this or any other in-person debate between the Trump and Biden camps. They've already shown they can't be trusted. With the technology available at our disposal, we should be doing these virtually.

[NurseJackie]

16. Their chairs are not 12 feet apart. Maybe the far end corners are 12 feet apart...

... but I think that in addition to the flimsy plexiglass, there should be a floor-fan aimed at each desk. Just a gentle cooling breeze to help with the heat of the studio lights (AND to blow-back any covid droplets from Pence.)

[NurseJackie]

17. The plexi panels will serve as a continual reminder that Trump/Pence fucked up.

[IcyPeas]

19. I liked Jaime Harrison's plexiglass barrier a bit better:

Kamala should borrow it from Jaime
