I think this is a little more likely, except for the last part. If Biden wins, I think the worst thing you’ll see is a national mask mandate. The President has virtually nothing to do with shutting down the economy. He may have some influence, but that’s a state and local issue

Nothing so drastic. It would be done much the way that the states and local governments do it now, put the mandate in place and police have the authority to issue civil infractions if necessary. The mask mandate isn’t about forcing people to wear masks, it’s more about giving support to businesses, schools or any area where people congregate if those places want to require masks. There will still be many people who don’t wear the masks because they think it’s all fake, or they think they’re bulletproof, or they think it is a violation of their civil liberties, and that’s fine, but when businesses and schools are able to bar them from entry with the backing of an executive order, then it will hopefully keep more people safe.

Or, they (either Congress or POTUS) could also use something like federal highway money to basically extort states into compliance, similar to how the feds have used it to force states to make 21 the legal drinking age.
As far as how you appeal, I would guess it depends on how it’s done. To be honest, if a business like Walmart wants to bar you from entry for not wearing a mask, that’s their right, and they shouldn’t need the backing of an executive order to do it.

Saw the 2% quoted in an article somewhere but I think this is the study they’re referencing.
Businesses are already able to restrict access to anyone they deem fit (ie airlines). No federal mask mandate necessary for that.

My comment regarding businesses was about to segue to something else, but I decided to just leave it.

Like I said, it could be more of a symbolic, advisory gesture to further encourage the use of masks in all public places, or they could try to force states to require masks in all public places. This is all just speculation on my part. My point in all of it is that I think a mask mandate would be the most extreme measure you would see regarding stopping the spread from Biden.
