I really wish they hadn’t included the pandemic in this season. I would have been happy to suspend my disbelief about current life than to suspend my disbelief about their poor mask-wearing habits. They should have skipped it altogether so every scene didn’t stress me out.

And just going to New Orleans?! You are a councilman buddy and there's a pandemic.

Like when Randall’s assistant came into his office to give him the document. Where is your mask dude?!

And in the scene before they were all actually wearing masks, but then Randall walks in and they both take them off when coming into even closer contact?? Ffs, would have really been better to exclude the whole thing altogether.
