COVID-19/JOE BIDEN: “[I]f I were president today, I would roll back the re-openings in a number of places because, look, it’s clear mask and social distancing make a gigantic difference in terms of the spread of this disease. It’s simple, it’s factual, it’s real. And everyone, wherever there is a significant percentage of people with COVID, should be required to keep social distancing and masks.
Bars should not be open. There should not be congregations of more than 10 people. We should have circumstances where, in fact, we act responsibly, including in places of work where people are, where they’re able to go in and continue to work in terms of social distancing testing and alike.”
