Joe Biden on Thursday called for a mask mandate that would cover all 50 states, as coronavirus deaths in the U.S. approached 170,000 and cases continue to rise.

At a campaign event in Wilmington, Del., the presumptive Democratic nominee for president urged governors to be in one accord and require universal use of masks, citing “overwhelming evidence” that wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of the deadly disease. Public health experts are almost unanimous in agreeing that masks help curb the transmission of the coronavirus.

“This is not about Democrat, Republican or independent,” he said. “It’s about saving Americans’ lives. So let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide, starting immediately, and we will save lives.”since the coronavirus began ravaging the country in March, while others have left it up to local officials, typically mayors, to require masks in their communities. Many large retailers, including Target and Costco, are requiring customers to wear masks inside their stores.

Does he know the size of the pores of the masks and the size of the Bolshevik virus?

You’re inconsistent Joe

Check out the big brain on Joe!

Why outdoors? This is idiotic. In a store, in a restaurant, or other close gatherings - makes sense. But we're supposed to wear masks hiking in the woods? Not infecting squirrels? Result: Millions hypochondriacs won't dare to go outside. 75% not following his recommendations.

If you accept the GOVT can mandate mask wearing for COVID under the guise of public health, THEN - Why could the GOVT not mandate COVID vaccinations? In the future: - Why could the GOVT not mandate you to maintain a certain weight, take a certain vitamin or exercise?

Hey Joe, are you an American?

yeah for 3 months....3 months is November...or the election....see what the left is doing to you yet?

I don’t trust anyone forcing me to wear anything I don’t want to wear. ...and I don’t trust pervs who touch little girls either, so there you go.

Make up numbers like Joe and wear your masks

FACT: . 01% chance you’ll die from covid FACT: . 1% chance you’ll die in a car accident. FUN FACT: 100% chance you’ll have covid if you die in a car accident.

If you love America, wear a mask.

So why isn't he wearing one?

Bullshit, they are dirty and unhygienic. The way ppl wear them it actually makes it worst for most.

Ok Karen

It's not about your 'Rights' Ok Joe...

and no more raves

Stupid Paper masks are meaningless Covid is a political tool not a global pandemic Stop the hysteria

omg most don't even do anything.

Blow it ou RH youd all asses not smoking outside to get sick from thief's addicts spreading thier shit. Lock them up old kids prison.despaid them to burn to blame it on you. Also Bernie Sanders this is his burn like Milwaukee. We were ready.

But, ya know— not a shot he can call 😆😆

If our President had said this, he would have been deemed a dictator and the people who hate him wouldn't have listened.

Sigh! Finally someone who cares about our wellbeing, and not just his own!

At a press briefing a few hours later, President Trump inaccurately described Biden’s proposal as a nationwide mandate imposed by federal decree, in contrast to his own approach of leaving it to the states.

Hahahaha

'Come on man'

I'm old enough to remember the phrase 'flatten the curve'. The good ole days.

His tyrannical rule begins before he’s even elected.

And who's going to enforce it? The police officers they are defunding and cutting their resources down?

We don't need no masks. I heard from an expert on the virus that it will just go away.

Democrats are the party of centralized power. Of course he wants to take power away from the states and be a dictator.

Authoritarians being authoritarian.

Column: In California Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden chooses a VP hailing from our most diverse stateCalifornia is also a state of immigrants. And fittingly, Sen. Kamala Harris is the daughter of immigrant parents — a father from Jamaica, a mother from India. 😹😹😹😹 No one liked her the last time she was on the ticket. Period. Terrible person, terrible ticket, watch the sharks go after these two, like Marlin in that old man and the sea book. Going gnaw off every ounce.
