Patti LuPone Mask Outburst, Laurie Garrett on Mask Efficacy
Broadway star Patti LuPone stopped a performance to berate an audience member for not wearing a mask correctly, sparking a debate on theater etiquette. Meanwhile, Pulitzer Prize winner Laurie Garrett faced backlash for a 2018 speech in which she stated that masks do not stop viruses but are effective at "causing alarm" to enforce social distancing. Garrett later attempted to clarify her comments on Twitter, claiming she was referring to 1918-era masks.
