Joe Biden briefly emerged from seclusion for the first time in a couple of months and the question has to be asked: Has Joe Biden become the Grim Reaper?

The Grim Reaper's pretty good, but I always liked more the "doctors" wearing plague masks (that looked like birds' beaks) in movies featuring epidemics.

Someone needs to photoshop Gropin' Joe in a beak.

Believe it or not, "doctors" during the Great Plague of 1665-1666 in London actually wore these things.

The bottom of the beak was stuffed with herbs and spices.

I had looked up some of them. Rather than being treated as "heroes", many of the doctors weren't actual physicians, but often a person hired by the town to treat the victims. The masks and robes were sometimes used to hide their identity from everyone else, too.

Biden would never wear one of those, it would interfere with his groping and hair sniffing.
