Biden won't make them mandatory
Why not?
Because if he did he would have to police it.
And as we all know there is a certain percentage of the American population that would say "NO"!
Yep. Trump poisoned the waters by politicized the Virus and mask wearing.
Biden can do a lot of good by talking up mask use, putting out mask guidelines, highlighting scientific studies on masks such as this one, and putting pressure on states to call for mask usage.
At this point mandating masks would probably not be effective, be divisive and hard to enforce. Still Biden can save some significant % of that 55,000 unnecessary deaths over the next 4 months by promoting mask wearing.
I don't see how anyone can absolve Trump, who has just totally given up, moved,on and doesn't care that the virus is spreading rapidly. 200K infected per day? 3000 deaths per day? A total catastrophe the president is ignoring. Extreme indifference to lives and health.
