Biden Says He Would Force Americans To Wear Face Masks In Public If Elected

• Zero Hedge - Tyler Durden

(Via Breitbart)

Q: I know you have been critical of the president's handling of the pandemic in the past. But let's look ahead. If you became president tomorrow, what would you do differently regarding the pandemic and getting these surging cases now under control?

Biden: I would go back to making sure that everybody had masks, that you had PPE [personal protective equipment] lined up, we'd have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we don't have now. The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen — would have to make sure that they walked in their business that had masks.

Q: Couldn't you use the federal leverage to mandate that, though?

Biden: Yes.

Q: Would you?

Biden: Yes, I would from an executive standpoint, yes, i would.

Q: So you would, in effect, mandate the wearing of masks.

Biden:  I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public.

Here is the big question. And it goes hand in hand with this FP article, as well http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/285395-2020-06-26-anarchy-and-voluntaryism.htm. The question is, what is public and what is private? You might have your private property, your car for instance. But what about your body, wherever it exists? It might exist on public land, but it's still your private property. Government is there to control the public, not the private. Time to get government back into controlling public things without controlling our private things.
