recommending masks in indoor public spaces. let s talk to the executive associate dean at emeory university school of medicine at grady, thank you so much, doctor, for being with us. we appreciate it. i do want to ask you what happened this week with most major airlines as well as amtrak, uber droning their mask mandate for passengers. what is your assessment of the reality of that? . well, i think the airlines had a mandate in place long before the federal mandate came into place. then the federal mandate came into place. as the epidemic has evolved, we ve seen a lot of problems. one of the problems is trying to enforce mask wearing on planes has become increasingly hard and for many flight attendants, it s become increasingly difficult. they ve been the mask police at an increasing population of people flying. many people take their masks off

gary tuckman, cnn. with me, the executive associate dean of emory university school of medicine at grady. good to see you, in studio, doesn t mean we won t see you by computer again. nice to be here. great to have you. wonderful, thank you so much. what are your concerns about some places such as l.a. county has imposed mask mandates, encouraging of people to wear masks when indoors again. then you go to some places and it is just use your best judgment. public health is local, public health decisions are made locally by local, state health departments. cdc makes suggestions, recommendations, doesn t make policy. policy is made at local level. i think local health dempartmens are making recommendations based on local data, how much transmission there is, and variety of different things.
