Biden has previously said he would implement a nationwide mandate to wear masks in public.
Joe Biden said that, if elected, he would shut the U. S. down if that is recommended by scientists. He was asked by ABC News’ David Muir if he would be prepared to shut the country down if he is sworn in as president in January and the coronavirus pandemic and flu combine. «I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives, because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus,» Biden said in his first joint interview with Kamala Harris since officially becoming the Democratic nominees for president and vice president last week.
