Regardless of who you voted for, President-elect Joe Biden wants you to wear a mask. In a short video this morning, Biden warned the country was still facing a’ very dark winter’ and urged Americans to wear a mask as the country surpassed 10 million infections.

‘I won’t be president until January 20, but my message today is to everyone, is this, it doesn’t matter who you voted for, where you stood before Election Day, it doesn’t matter your party, your point of view, we can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months. Not Democrat or Republican lives, American lives,’ Biden said.

‘I implore you, wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement but it is a good way to start pulling the country together,’ Biden said.

‘The head of the CDC warned this fall, for the foreseeable future a mask remains the most potent weapon against the virus. Today’s news doesn’t change that urgent reality.’

The president-elect said that another 200,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 before a vaccine is widely available.
