Biden Will Wear a Mask In Public

[kpete]

Joe Biden told ABC News he would be heeding CDC advice by wearing a mask the next time he goes out in public as a way to mitigate his risk of contracting COVID-19, despite President Trump not following the advice.

Said Biden: “Yes. Look, I think it’s important to follow the science, listen to the experts do what they tell you. He may not like how he looks in a mask but the truth of the matter is that — follow the science. That’s what they’re telling us. So if I go out in public, and I have not gone to commercial places of late I haven’t gone to my local church … but my generic point is that you should follow the science.”

1. What about gloves?

I certainly hope he is wearing gloves to set an example. I know not everyone can get them but those that can, should.

3. From the myriad opinions of medical folks I've seen

say that the mask is more important than gloves of you wash your hands after touching stuff and don't touch your face. It enters through mouth, nose, eyes for as much as is known. Gloves can spread the virus after touching many surfaces.

At least that's what I get from the discussion I've been reading/watching.

I have gloves but you can go through a few sets in a shopping venture. Wearing one mask for a short time while away from the house is what I'm going with, keep the gloves handy but wash my hands a lot.

20. That is one small bonus for my former habit of dying my hair

I have a box of disposable gloves in my medicine cabinet! They have certainly come in handy in the past few weeks. I still wash my hands a lot, but when I go out to the grocery store, I wear them. Keeps me safe. Keeps others in my community safe.

25. And I have 1 1/2 boxes because of my hobby of furniture refinishing. I use them when I'm staining.

29. Yeah I had a box of 100 blue gloves

I bought a few months ago to apply henna to my hair. Now I'm letting the henna sessions go.. for more important uses for my gloves.

2. Of course he will

He is a responsible adult!

4. Trump should wear a mask in public as well. This kind...

And here is Dr Fauci indicating the length of Trump's attention span:

8. I kind of like this one....

Ignore McTurtle and Eddie Munster.

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Hmmm. I have avoided that movie, but I think he was still able to talk thru the mask...

just not eat...um, body parts.

[paleotn]

16. Crap. You're right.

Guess we'll need the duct tape after all.

[Dem2theMax]

19. You should watch the movie.

With reality the way it is right now, the movie won't be half as scary as real life.

[Blue_true]

24. Silence of the Lambs is a well made movie.

It is depressing at points and scary, especially near the end when Clareese is stumbling in the dark through the killer's house. But all in all, impressive movie.

5. As He is wise

to do so,,we need Him around for November

[Scarsdale]

6. tRump DOES wear a mask in public.

It is bright orange, with two snow white eyeholes. Looks a lot like a halloween mask, only scarier. Unfortunately, he can speak through it.

7. Being a good role model....

Chapter 2,456 in the book on leadership. A book Donnie's never read. If he could actually read, which I'm not convinced he can.

[BadgerMom]

9. Excellent.

[DeminPennswoods]

10. Wonder if his staff will draw those

big pearly white teeth on it? That would be funny - we need a dose of humor right now - and encourage the rest of Americans to have some creative fun with whatever they are using for a mask.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. I'd rather it said...Vote Nov 3.

[DeminPennswoods]

28. Sure, just have some fun with it

[Hortensis]

11. :) Of course he's going to be inundated with homemade masks.

[Doodley]

14. All Democratic lawmakers need to do the same and keep 6' apart. Democrats need to lead by example.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. Trump won't wear a mask because it would smear his makeup.

He is probably the most vain motherfucker on the planet.

[Cha]

30. And, the ugliest.. I call him Assface.

[Botany]

18. Can we just make him President now?

He is an adult.

[treestar]

21. Different from the Dotard

A way to highlight the huge differences. A leader does not tell people to do things he/she wouldn't do.

[joanbarnes]

23. but a mask would ruin tRump's good looks (and turn orange from his makeup).

[IcyPeas]

26. French Pres Macron wears a mask:

makes him smart!!
