Biden reiterates call for nationwide mask mandates at second event with Harris

Biden compared wearing a mask to other efforts Americans were taking to help out those stricken by the virus, like giving blood and donating to food banks. He said his team of medical experts had advised him that nationwide mask mandates could save"over 40,000 lives" over the next three months.

There have been more than 5.2 million coronavirus cases in the U.S. since the pandemic broke out, includingBiden chastised Trump for his administration’s slow crawl to supporting mask-wearing, saying"I hope the president has learned the lesson." Following Biden’s remarks, Harris took the stage to attempt to further draw the contrast between the presumptive Democratic nominee and Trump.Harris added that, when it comes to a possible vaccine,"there may be some grand gestures offered by the current president about a vaccine, but it doesn’t really matter until you can answer the question 'when am I going to get vaccinated.

Trump added,"He does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate or how federal law enforcement could possibly enforce it or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country."Both Biden and Harris wore masks while watching the other speak. Prior to their remarks, Biden and Harris were briefed privately on the pandemic by a group of public health experts and doctors.

Even when Dr. Fauci initially said masks were not healthy and we should not be mandated to wear them. Now, he has changed his tune. There are varying opinions in the medical field pertaining to the efficacy of masks.

Election is in 3 months ? 🤔🤔🤔

Lock down for 5/6 weeks. The spread will slow significantly.

Nope

So...(doing math)....just up until Election Day then? Convenient.

Nut job! No brains! As soon as the election is over the virus will be gone!

So, those in Wyoming... Montana... Idaho..all low incident states... should be mandated to wear masks the same as high incident states? Let the Governors handle their own states, their own citizens. Not Washington DC mandating one size fits all

Who in the right Mind would believe nBC

I agree, buthow we convince thosewho rebel at wearing them?Some people suggest fines at a sliding rate.That just adds to their paranoia that the government is after them. Getting the police involved is a waste of their time.We have to convince them, somehow, that it's their idea

I bet it took Biden 15 minutes just to spit out that statement.

Lol CA has had a mask mandate for 4 months and they’re still having cases 😂😂😂

iammentalfloss

I absolutely agree, based on new information, 6’ not enough social distance. Water droplets inside, it’s 12’. Be serious -we have 200,000 deaths min..We are at over 1000 + deaths a day -80,000 + more before Election. Trump runs out, can’t believe it, not legal. National Emergency

Joe unless your coming out for a no TelePrompTer speech or press conference just shut up.

Trying to remember what the media said when Trump tried to mandate things at a state level.

This message is months overdue. The Nation without a Captain.

Except he’s actually not in charge. So stop acting like he is. FakeNews

can you imagine if Pres. Trump said this?

Why not call for a nationwide cease in rioting, looting, arson, violence and disorder or as the news media chorus calls 'peaceful protesters'.

Only if you, Biden, pay for my masks. Especially if you’re making it mandatory.

This?! This is what the dem presidential candidate is running on?! 🤣

What about answering questions first. We already know he can read.

No.

Leadership

outside lmao.....FU

Pass

Can someone tell this demented man that he is only running for President he hasn't won anything yet.

Sometimes the things that are the easiest things to do seems impossible for others. The natural selection has begun.

How about those follow up questions?

NOBODY KNOWS ENOUGH TO BE A PESSIMIST ABOUT ANYTHING EVER PLACEBO EFFECT 💞🙏💞

Nope

Lets show Biden how we feel about his plan by ignoring him.
