Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Thursday he would not try to impose a national lockdown if he wins the presidency but that he’s considering a national mask mandate to try to control the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.

“No national shutdown. No national shutdown, because every region, every area, every community can be different. And so there’s no circumstance which I can see would require a total national shutdown. I think that would be counterproductive,” Biden told reporters in Delaware after a virtual meeting with governors.
