Apparently forgetting or overlooking the social distancing his administration has actually been promoting, Mr Trump connected to shake the hand of Guv Doug Ducey. Whether this was his concept of a little light relief or a error, he rapidly chose for an arm pat rather. Not that any health professional would suggest that.

The president remained in Phoenix to check out Honeywell factory- just recently transformed to produce protective masks. And yet, the president selected not to use one. As he visited the website, watchful eye video cameras captured the sign talking employees to make certain they did.
