Assuming Biden has been successfully vaccinated, most likely he does not need a mask to protect himself. So wearing a mask, just as I do, is more of a signal to distance. And reassurance to others since we are not all yet immune or vaccinated.
The vaccine has only become available in my county. A friend who is 76, has diabetes, a pacemaker, does in home dialysis just got his first shot Wednesday. So did DH. Others are still waiting. In Texas each county decides how they will administer the vaccine. If you can't get to the county site and refresh when they put out the weeks schedule, you are hosed. Some Dr. offices have it, some docs have no clue how to get it. Just the luck of the draw.
I was told it takes 4 weeks after the 2nd shot to be covered 95%. And to continue to wear the mask. You can have it and not know it, asymptomatic. If so, you can still throw it off. Not much, but still. If I care for others, why not?
Yes, that means 95% of those vaccinated develop antibodies that neutralize the virus if exposed. That means 5% of those vaccinated do NOT develop antibodies. That means, they can get the virus and pass it on.

So Joe may be masked in an N95 mask for the rest of his life (since kids won’t be vaccinated any time soon and they could pass it to him and he could die of Covid as part of the 5% group ...forget passing it on and killing another old guy.)

Joe wants to set a good example plus the mask prevents us from seeing any mutterings and possible spittle.
The guy has to be upset about the covid and mask wearing because it has kept him away from sniffing kids.
I don't care if Joe wears a mask or not but what really bugs me is the lying. Joe said that the vaccines were not available under Trump, trying to give himself a pat on the back but sorry Joe you got your first shot while Trump was still the President. It is convenient that Joe and the media both have such short memories.
I say keep wearing it Joe because if you do catch the Covid I don't think he has the strength to fight it like Trump did and that would mean a President Harris. Lord help us when Joe is the lesser of 2 weasels.
I think he got both his shots during the Trump presidency. I’m sure he is grateful for Operation Warp Speed.
I never thought of this but the anti-hair sniffing aspect of the mask may cause me to rethink its uselessness regarding ole Joe. Good point.
