But in the journal science, some researchers say six feet aly not be enough for indoor settings where tiny infectious droplets can remain for hours. You dont put your seat belt on when youre six feet from the other car. You put your seat belt on when you get in the car. And the same thing goes for the mask.

But at the liberty tree tavern outside of austin, texas, no masks are allowed. And in missouri, cell phone video of memorial day weekend festivities at lake of the ozarks shows a crowd of partiers, many without masks.

Reporter todays executive order accuses the Online Companies of engaging in selective censorship and disfavoring certain viewpoints. It calls for a review of the 25 yearold law protecting internet sites from legal liability for what their users post. The president said, if he could, hed just shut down twitter. If it were legal, if it were able to be legally shut down, i would do it. Reporter he cant, and legal experts say the executive order itself will not stand up in court. Twitter c. E. O. Jack dorsey says the company will continue Fact Checking disputed claims. Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg argued that the president ial order makes no sense. I think a government choosing to censor a platform because theyre worried about censorship doesnt exactly strike me as the the the right reflex there. Reporter now, the president s executive order could backfire on him. If twitter is liable for the things that its users post, that means it might have to crack down even more on President Trump when he pushes the boundaries of truth. Norah.
