拜登：恳求你们戴上口罩吧，这不是“政治声明”！
当地时间11月9日，拜登在特拉华州发表演讲，呼吁民众戴上口罩，并称这是对抗新冠疫情的“最有力武器”而不是一个政治声明。
我们知道预防新冠病毒传播最有效的方式就是戴口罩。在疫苗被生产之前，戴口罩仍是对抗新冠疫情“最有力的武器”。
Biden stressed, "We know the single most effective thing we can do to stop the spread of COVID is wear a mask."…until a vaccine is in production, "A mask remains the most potent weapon against the virus."
他还表示，“我要到1月20日才能任职总统。但我今天要向所有人传达的是：无论你把票投给了谁，不论你选举之前立场如何，你的党派、观点这些都不重要。如果未来几个月大家戴口罩，我们就可以挽救成千上万人的生命。不是民主党或共和党人的命，而是美国人的命。”
"I wont be president until Jan. 20 but message today to everyone is this - it doesnt matter who you voted for, where you stood before Election Day. It doesnt matter your party, your point of view.
"We can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months. Not Democrat or Republican lives, American lives," Biden highlighted.
最后，拜登呼吁美国民众，“我恳求你们戴上口罩。为了你自己，也为了你的邻居。戴口罩不是一个政治声明，它能让国家团结起来。”
"I implore you, wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start pulling country together,"the president-elect added.
