Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, urged governors to impose mandatory mask orders for the next three months.
Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, urged Thursday to wear face masks while outdoors during the next three months in an effort to save 40,000 lives from the COVID-19 pandemic during that period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a central issue in the presidential campaign with more than 166,000 deaths and 5.2 million cases nationwide. Unemployment spiked at 14.7% in April and 16 million people remain out of work because of lockdowns to prevent the virus from spreading. “It’s not about your rights, it’s about your responsibilities," Biden said he tells reluctant people. "This is America. Be a patriot. Protect your fellow citizens. Do the right thing."
Trump has touted that the U.S. has conducted the most tests worldwide and ensured ventilators were provided to anyone who needed them. He has touted therapeutic drugs and suggests a vaccine will be available soon. And the president has said the robust economy of last year would return next year, after treatments are available.
