Commercials: Party ads set bad example

Watching football on television last weekend, I was amazed at all the commercials that violated the COVID-19 safe practices for social distancing, close contact and mask wear.

Particularly bad were the various beverage and food ads that show partying in the most dangerous ways possible to spread the virus.

These commercials should be retired and new safe practice ads created.
