On Thursday, August 13, 2020, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared together at a press conference at which they called for three months of mandatory face masks orders.

Biden said the following:

"Every single American should be wearing a mask when they're outside for the next three months at a minimum. Every governor should mandate, every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing. The estimates by the experts are it will save over 40,000 lives in the next three months — 40,000 lives — if people act responsibly. And it's not about your rights. It's about your responsibilities as an American. So let's institute a mask mandate, nationwide, starting immediately and we will save lives. The estimates are we'll save over 40,000 lives in the next three months if that is done."

Harris said the following:

"That's what real leadership looks like. We just witnessed real leadership, which is Joe Biden said that as a nation, we should all be wearing a mask for the next three months because it will save lives. And the thing about Joe that the American people know is that his role of leadership in our country has always been about doing what's best for the people of our country."

Biden & Harris: Force Face Masks Until November 13, 2020

If I may rely on the "toxic" "ethno-mathematics" of my youth in which 2+2=4, three months after August 13 is November 13. That's right in the middle of flu season. That's when Joe Biden curiously says it will be acceptable to drop the masking orders. If the masking order is a sensible way to save lives in August 2020, then any consistent person will find it a sensible way to save lives at least until April or May 2021, when flu season is likely to conclude.

Little Happens In DC Without The Agreement Of Many 

Little happens in Washington, D.C. without many competing interests coming together both supporting action and not opposing it. There are many factions that are benefited by the continuation of this corona communism we have. If that were not the case, it would come to a quick halt or a slow death, but would not continue on with renewed vigor seemingly daily.
