　　Some virologists have questioned that glass partition has no effect on resisting Covid-19. Jimenez, a professor of chemistry at the University of Colorado who studies the spread of viruses through aerosols, told CNBC that the debate should be moved outdoors. The glass partition is "a joke". "This is to set the stage and let people think that they are taking preventive measures."

　　In addition, it is worth mentioning that, earlier, after the news that the glass partition was to be erected at the debate site, Burns and Harris had talked about this topic from a distance.

　　At that time, Burns’ spokesperson Miller issued a statement saying, "If Harris wants to surround her with a fortress, then come on." Harris’s spokesman Singh responded by tweeting, "Interestingly, Miller ridiculed us for wanting a vertical glass baffle on the debate platform. Her boss (Burns) is the head of the White House anti-epidemic team, and he should promote it himself. " (Overseas network Liu Qiang)
