If President Biden had worn a respirator instead of a cloth mask, he would not have caught bad cold from his grandson.

Where is the Secret Service????

@Pat masks to prevent colds is well into hypocohondria territory. I can understand (albeit disagree) with using it for COVID and all ... but a cold, thats a stretch

Its important to note outside of any covid concerns it also puts your health at risk. A healthy immune system requires regular exposure to diseases, when this isnt present we see a large rise of risk of autoimmune diseases. Getting the occasional cold is more or less good for you.

@freemo

It's not he got a cold, or that he should have worn it to prevent the cold, it's that it could have very well been the COVID-19 virus instead of a cold virus.

The Secret Service is putting POTUS at risk by not making him wear a respirator.

@freemo

And the fact that he got so sick from a simple cold virus means that his immune system isn't working too well.

@Pat Well that debatable. Healthy people get sick from cold viruses all the time.
