Not just NO!
But HELL NO!!!!
Former Vice President Joe Biden said he “would do everything possible” to ensure that Americans wear masks in public if elected president. Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, told CBS News Pittsburgh affiliate KDKA that wearing a mask in public helps to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
“I would go back to making sure that everybody had masks,” Biden said. Both he and the interviewer wore masks and stood eight feet apart.
“The one thing we do know is that these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody in public be wearing that masks……… I would do everything possible to make it required that people have to wear masks in public.”

The Centers for Disease Control recommends wearing masks in public areas where social distancing is hard to maintain. On its website, the CDC says that “cloth masks may slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.”
Biden sought to distinguish himself from President Trump, who has rarely been seen wearing a mask in public. Mr. Trump has also appeared at several events in recent weeks where there was limited social distancing and mask-wearing among attendees.
Asked by KDKA’s Ken Rice whether he could imagine accepting the Democratic nomination in a virtual convention — in an “empty room” or “on YouTube” — Biden responded, “I can’t say for sure, but it’s probable that will be the case.” The Republican National Convention is proceeding in-person in Jacksonville, Florida, despite coronavirus concerns.
Biden says he’d use executive powers to force Americans to wear masks in public
