As the song says, West Virginia is "almost heaven." And maybe especially without face masks.
So it seemed Thursday when hometown girl-made-good Jennifer Garner joined first lady Jill Biden and a planeload of Washington types to spotlight the state's vaccine distribution success and ongoing efforts to relieve child poverty.
And they were all mask-less, in keeping with the new CDC guidance for people who are fully vaccinated. During the flight from Washington, Dr. Anthony Fauci was on CNN advising vaccinated people to drop the masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings.
