Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would compel Americans to wear masks in public if elected president.
In an interview with Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA, Biden said that he would use federal power to “mandate” masks.
Q: I know you have been critical of the president’s handling of the pandemic in the past. But let’s look ahead. If you became president tomorrow, what would you do differently regarding the pandemic and getting these surging cases now under control?
Biden: I would go back to making sure that everybody had masks, that you had PPE [personal protective equipment] lined up, we’d have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we don’t have now. The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen — would have to make sure that they walked in their business that had masks.
Q: Couldn’t you use the federal leverage to mandate that, though?
Biden: Yes.
Q: Would you?
Biden: Yes, I would from an executive standpoint, yes, i would.
Q: So you would, in effect, mandate the wearing of masks.
Biden: I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public.

Bump!
This person doesn't know the Lord and I grieve to see them falling for the lies of the world and living in complete paranoia and irrational fear. When I tried to share the Lord with them (one more time as I always do) they shut down the conversation. They don't want to hear about the Lord they would rather hold onto and be lead by their man made dread.
I face the same with my family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. It is so sad. Even some professed believers are fearful and following the lie.

‘There is now overwhelming evidence from Europe and Asia that universal masking prevents transmission and speeds the rate of decline in new cases to near zero.’
show us this ‘overwhelming evidence’...
‘Wearing masks outside is stupid in instances where substantial social distancing can easily be maintained.’
the mask mandates do not apply to being outside where social distancing is easily done...and I’m waiting for someone to tell me otherwise, because some colorful language will be exchanged...
