Tech news website Mashable took a look at the source code of presidential nominee Joe Biden's official website, and came across a relevant hidden coronavirus message.
The website, which is likely flooded with new visitors after the historic announcement of California Sen. Kamala Harris as Biden's vice presidential running mate for the 2020 election, shows spelling: WEAR A MASK.
