Joe Biden's website has a hidden message about face masks
Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a very important message on his website, but you won't find it unless you do a little digging. Mashable had a little peek at the source code of Biden's official website, and came across a pertinent coronavirus PSA.
To see this Easter egg, simply visit JoeBiden.com, right click to inspect its source code, then scroll all the way to the bottom. There you'll find simple ASCII block letters asking people to "WEAR A MASK" — a very familiar phrase we've all been screaming for months.
If you don't already own a mask or six, the website's source code also includes the web address for a $20 official Biden face mask in the Team Joe Store. Always be upselling.
The message can be found at the bottom of the source code for Biden's website. Credit: mashable / joebiden.com If you don't want Biden's name emblazoned across your mouth, or prefer your masks to be a bit more stylish, that's totally fine and understandable. Just as long as you wear one.
Face masks are proven to reduce the spread of coronavirus, protecting both you and the people around you. Considering that the U.S. now has almost 5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 160,000 deaths, there's practically no good reason not to wear a mask at this point.

Earlier this year we discovered John Delaney, Eric Swalwell, and Amy Klobuchar's websites all included their candidate's name in their source code, with Delaney's reading, "GO JOHN GO!"
Not quite as important as "WEAR A MASK," but at least Klobuchar's had emoji.
