Joe Biden says all governors should mandate masks for 3 months

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden called for governors to implement mask mandates for the next three months, saying that doing so would save 40,000 Americans' lives.
"Every single American should be wearing a mask when they're outside for the next three months as a minimum," the former vice president told reporters after he and his running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, received a briefing on the pandemic from public health experts.
Wearing masks, he said, "is going to get our kids back to school sooner and safer" and would "get our businesses back long-term."
"Look, this is America. Be a patriot," Biden said in a message directed at those resistant to wearing masks. "Protect your fellow citizens. Step up. Do the right thing."

  1. I honestly believe that if the colors were reversed, the *CANNON HINNANT* story would be the biggest story in the country.

    1. Rick Threat peoples posts on social media make me think that. I know your country is beautiful. I can’t wait to visit it again

    2. Reeebuilds you don’t care about molested and missing children. Or the kids killed by in home firearms daily. Why should I obsess over a one off situation because of the skin tone of the victim and perpetrator? Especially when the perpetrator had been caught and is facing appropriate charges??

    1. marc bienduga . You lost me at “all cops are racist murderers…”. Anyone that lumps that many people into a single category doesn’t deserve to have the rest of his comment read. Good luck to you though.

    2. Do you know how many children are killed each year? Where is your outrage for them? Stop using this tragedy to prove a point about race.

    3. Kevin . Did you really not hear that the “bounty “ story was unverified intelligence? Also, it was reported in January, but not confirmed, but the media ran the story in May. Or do you just repeat garbage and ignore the truth? I bet you still repeat the “very fine people” from Charlottesville, even thou the video of his entire statement is easily available (Joe and the Hoe still do). People like you are why Trump supporters are so loudly supportive of him. One must be loud to overcome the screaming snowflakes that love to lie.

    4. Maryam Hashish . So you think CNN shows balance in their reporting? Not carrying this story helps their reputation?

    1. @DFR666 First off virus are micro particles and just because you might avoid a droplet of spit doesnt mean much genius . Not to mention you are probably causing more issues wearing mask then not. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 New England Journal of Medicine , March 26,2020 , Dr. Fauci’s citing , covid is akin to the severe seasonal influenza of 1957. Do you know what shutdowns or special measures were taking in 1957? NONE. herd immunity takes care of most of this . It has a death rate of 0.1% unlike SARS or MERS with a death rate of 9% or higher. I have a healthcare degree by the way . Here is the actual science and i hope you can do critical thinking. https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19/covid-19-faq.html OSHA GUIDELINES WHICH IS USED BY HEALTHCARE. Unless N95 is not considered PPE against airbourne virus’s N95 REQUIRE TRAINING AS FACE COVERINGS LOWER OXYGEN LEVELS. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EbhJKFFWsAAhbSk?format=jpg&name=medium Surgical Mask box now have a warning on them NOT PPE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS’S OR ANY OTHER AIRBOURNE VIRUS. Surgical mask in health care are used to keep a field sterile not to keep airbourne virus’s out. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article CDC reference study . Under face mask and discussion NO SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN TRANSMISSION . In addtion improper face mask usage INCREASE infections. The general public is improperly using mask as they are wearing them for prolonged periods of time without frequent changes thus increasing infections. In a healthcare setting the appropriate mask is used WHEN needed and frequently disposed of . Healthcare has never walked around all day with face coverings on. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/ Cloth mask study. Cloth mask retain moisture collecting bacteria increasing infections. Its equilavant to wearing a pitre dish on your face. Healthcare stopped using this years ago. Here is some studies on health effects of mask wearing https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29395560/ dyspnea. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32590322/ reducing oxygen intakehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15340662/ N95 increasing respiratory adversity. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31159777/ contamination of medical mask with respiratory virus’s. In a medical setting it makes sense to wear mask as its a controlled environment unlike the general untrained public wearing them . Based on the science the general public wearing them is more than likely increasing infections and creating other health conditions. A mask mandate is illogical and irrational based on science on something that you have a 99.9% chance of surviving. your welcome.

    2. @dina bissell you have a healthcare degree but can’t spell
      “Pitre” dish… ?…
      And you keep posting links about how a mask won’t stop an airborne virus ?
      😀
      Covid isn’t an airborne virus…
      Oops..
      “Healthcare has never walked around all day with face coverings on”
      Nobody is telling you to walk around all day with a mask on.. 🙄
      Here’s an excerpt from the current CDC guidelines for masks…
      “Why it is important to wear a mask

      Masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. Wearing a mask will help protect people around you, including those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and workers who frequently come into close contact with other people (e.g., in stores and restaurants). Masks are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings. The spread of COVID-19 can be reduced when masks are used along with other preventive measures, including social distancing, frequent handwashing, and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.

      The masks recommended here are not surgical masks or respirators. Currently, those are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders. ”

      “I have a healthcare degree”
      Yeah, sure you do….
      😂😂😂

    3. @DFR666 scientific evidence it’s airborne so mask not gonna help you while your at it cover eyes too then please get in your car and run it on the freeway

  2. Do rioters need to wear masks whilst looting in Chicago? How are you going to enforce it, Joe Kamel?

    1. @J Teezy Sorry, but still like Don Corleone says: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer

    2. @Frisky Bottomsuuater says it all, when you first accuse someone of sticking his head in the sand, and afterwards say “I’m sorry” when he happens to be on your side. But it’s ok for you to hate your friends, I hate your friends too. It seems Frisky Bottom stinks after all, you’re a stupid nitwit.

    3. Frisky- actually I was wondering the same thing myself. If they are dumb enough to be rioting right next to each other, then they might not be smart enough to be social distancing or wearing a mask. I just want to get back to normal, that’s not gonna happen if don’t continue to practice healthy habits. Best of luck to you- thanks for the comment

  3. CNN, where’s your Cannon Hinnant story?
    You ran a story about a women calling the police over a dog, but a 5 year old getting executed isnt news worthy?

    1. Extreme Trigger Warning for all CNN Viewers before reading this:

      Today Trump actually praises CNN after new poll shows virtual tie with Biden.

      The Aug. 12-15 national poll of registered voters showed Trump down just four points, with 46 percent against Biden’s 50 percent support and a 3.7 percent margin of error that put them in a virtual dead heat.

    2. @R D yeah, but they did it after alot of presser, didnt headline the story and play it over and over like they would had the races been reversed, and the story was posted after i made my comment.
      Which emphasis my original point that media , and cnn especially, put forth this false narrative that black people are being hunted by white people and ignore any stories that counter or distract from that narrative.
      You had to look for that article. Did you have to look for an article on amad Aubrey or jacob blake or as i said the lady who yelled at the black guy over a dog?
      And have you seen many stories about the dozen black kids under 10 killed by the BLM rioters?

    1. @Santora Sampson is it? Biden said and Kamala agreed that we must all wear a mask when “outside”. Let me ask you from the perspective of your own common sense, does it make sense to have to wear a mask when you’re “outside” if no one is near you?

      See this is why they should take questions. But they don’t want to be questioned, because that might then reveal intentions they have that would piss people off, if they knew. Like maybe, aggressive enforcement. Charging people criminally. “Three months” turning into “we have no idea” just like “two weeks to slow the spread” did. If people even remember that, given that we have the attention span of a goldfish.

    2. because they are afraid someone might ask a question that dementia joe will answer honestly and incriminate himself with treason

    1. @DANRYX not just the Swiss the Sweden’s and even Japan lol. Serbia had to protest against it’s government for doing curfews.

    2. @A P the point was the ban did not stop the spread of the virus, they should have forced a 2 week quarantine once they got here. That would have reduced the travel to the US and prevented the spread.

    3. @A P Not well documented. I found very little information. I did see that they quarantined from a specific province in China, but it was obviously not enough to prevent this country form achieving the highest infection percentage in the world.

    1. For what. Trumps holding up everything rn. All cause he knows hes going to lose, just like he lost the popular vote.

    1. Trump should say ” if you aint Scottish then you aint white” and then watch the CNN’s fan’s heads explode.

  4. I really like the fact that they make sure to put back on their masks when leaving the podium. That is a good example of “practice what you preach”.

    1. Well, they have to, to look credible. Biden & Harris will not only be forcing prolonged wearing of masks (which is bad for health) but also contact tracing and the vaccine, that is being hurried along (or was already made and is ready for the right time to roll it out) and that is dangerous because we won’t know the long-term effects before it is injected into people. And the vaccine will have a chip in it so people will no longer have any privacy of any kind.

    2. @veg skater wow, a conspiracy nut; you don’t see that every day on the internet!? If you think prolonged use of face masks are bad for you, then you should meet some doctors or nurses who have been wearing them daily for 20+ years. As for the mico-chip bullshit, and being tracked by the government, NEWS FLASH: Every time you use a cellphone or logon to the internet with an electronic device, your location is being pinged, so you are technically always tracked. We all log on and voluntarily offer up all of our information, every day. How do you think Google knows you so well?! It’s all recorded, so there would be no reason to put a micro-chip in you, because you carry electronic devices all on your own. You conspiracy nuts are just ignorant. Spend less time trolling on the internet and just go out and live your life. You’d be much happier.
      …or maybe I’m just saying that to throw you off the trail of the conspiracy!?

    3. @A P at the podium they are pretty far away from everyone, so it should be ok. If people were standing right behind them, like in the Corona Virus Daily Briefings, then they should wear the mask at the podium.

  5. So, we can go give blood, volunteer etc., with a “mandatory mask order”, BUT we can’t VOTE in person wearing masks???! 😳🤷‍♀️🤬

    1. Debby Clancy who said you can have a mask on, it’s silly not too, you can see to just VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE, the mask is on the nose only, you can see, the mask doesn’t cover the whole face , just vote Vote 🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳

    2. 150 Million people don’t donate blood in a single day, but on election day, that’s how many people are projected to vote.
      Daily blood donation, nation wide is only a couple of thousand, and that’s a busy day.

  6. Seems like every article that begins with the phrase “Joe Biden says…” might be better unpublished.
