Daily Mail: Biden says he will ask EVERYONE to wear a mask for 100 DAYS to bring COVID under control when he is sworn in and has asked Dr. Fauci to stay on - as one American dies of the virus every 30 seconds 

 * President-elect Joe Biden said he will ask Americans to mask up for 100 days as soon as he takes the oath of office 

 * 'On the first day I'm inaugurated I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask - just 100 days to mask. Not forever,' Biden told CNN 

 * He also said he's spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked him to be his chief medical adviser on the pandemic 

 * 'I asked him to stay on the exact same role he's had for the past several presidents, and I asked him to be a chief medical adviser for me as well' 

 * It comes a day after U.S. hit a record of 2,804 daily deaths - which accounts for one death every 30 seconds 

 * On Wednesday, hospitalizations hit more than 100,000 for the first time since the pandemic 

 * Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down for their first joint interview, talking with CNN's Jake Tapper for nearly an hour 

President-elect Joe Biden said he will ask Americans to mask up for 100 days as soon as he takes the oath of office and said he asked Dr. Anthony Fauci to be his chief medical adviser on the coronavirus pandemic.

'On the first day I'm inaugurated I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask - just 100 days to mask. Not forever,' Biden told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday. 

'And I think we'll see a significant reduction' in COVID cases when that happens, he said.

WNU Editor: I live in Montreal and we have had a mandatory mask-use-order for the past few months. But yesterday we broke the record on Covid-19 infections. This failure should surprise no one. Most masks that people wear are not effective and/or they do not use them properly. In my case I am always using an N-95 mask. I rarely see anyone else wear what I wear. And then get me going on how some people wear their mask. 

Bottom line. The only way this pandemic will end will be a successful vaccine and/or the development of herd immunity. And in the meantime the priority should be on protecting and isolating those that are the most vulnerable to this disease .... the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
