Biden will sign an executive order that EVERY American will wear a mask:
So I live in Colorado Springs. The infection rate here is not bad at all. People walk their dogs and take long walks in the open air. Some wear masks, some do not. I am one that does not. I keep my distance from people.
It is well established jargon that wearing a mask does not prevent you from contracting the Wuhan Virus. It does aid in preventing that you spread it, should you have it. I DON'T FKNG HAVE IT! So I'm not going to give myself COPD to follow some BS rule.
Now, the Democrats have no issue with rioters and protesters walking the streets without masks. But they absolutely have a problem if I walk my dog down the street without one.
I think Joe Biden is a pure idiot. Or maybe, he is more senile than appears, which is significant already. I think this one issue is enough to turn voters against him.
Now. When I walk into costco, I wear a mask. You know why? Because CostCo mandates that customers wear masks. And so I oblige. As soon as I am outside the store I take it off. In Walmart, I don't wear a mask. Half the people do, half the people do not.
I am aware that if I catch the Wuhan Virus, I may potentially die. I am careful not to get close to people. But really, where I am, it would seem like an act of god to contract the disease. When school kicks back in, my highschool son may bring it home. So much for masks and quarantines.
With all the purely evil protesters, the Democratic party wanting to destroy the middle class(Yes! They hate the rep voting middle class), and Joe Biden saying he WILL sign an executive order to force people to wear masks, I think COVID19/China Virus/Wuhan Virus/Kung Flu is the least of our worries.
More than 40,000 new cases were recorded across the US on Friday The total of 40,173, given by Johns Hopkins University, was the highest daily total so far, exceeding the record set only the previous day. There are over 2.4 million confirmed infections and more than 125,000 deaths nationwide - more than any other country.
Health officials in the US estimate the true number of cases is likely to be 10 times higher than the reported figure.

But yeah, lets not try and slow the spread by wearing a mask and keeping up with social distancing. The whole "Murica!!!, you can't make me take precautions, that treads on my god given rights and freedoms" attitude is the reason your country is doing so poorly with Covid-19.
Better to be safe than sorry no? If it could possibly save American lives by wearing masks, why would you not? Guaranteed that someone you know and love will die of covid-19 before this is all over. All because you felt that your freedoms were being taken away.
Lets be real, there will be no vaccine, no cure. This disease will be around for a very long time unless we either build up herd immunity or keep it from spreading by doing whatever we can to mitigate the spread by following social distancing guidelines and wearing masks and gloves when out in public. By not taking this disease seriously, all you're doing is shooting yourselves in the foot.

He can't even keep the mask on his face correctly, it slips down his nose all the time. Why don't the Dems have a decent candidate for president, do they want to lose the election? Well, look at the shape of this country, nobody is going to get it fixed and they know it. They would rather slam Trump than to have someone in office right now.

I think the answer to "do they want to lose the election" is "Yes." Trump is the populist candidate they are feeding to us to shut down the rising tide of populism with a controlled opposition candidate.

Wait a minute, I must be slow tonight. So you guys are saying the Dems want to lose? I guess I don't understand why that would be. Could someone explain the thinking behind that theory and why they would want to lose at this point. Seems like they are awful close to getting everything they have wanted for years.
