[Calypso Jones]

odd trish I live in the space coast area we have a little over 600,000 residents out of that about 5300 to 5400 have covid 19 and 108 deaths so thats less the 1 percent infection and and extremely low death rate. we had over 1000 overdose deaths in 2016 the last year I found a record for ., you failed to mention
deaths by state


1 new york almost 33000
2 new jersey almost 16000
3 cali over 9000
4 mass almost 9000 5 Illinois over 7500
6 penn over 7000
Florida comes in at 6500 out of over 20,000,000 million people 1/5 th of what ny has had

Thankfully the sacrament of abortion was allowed to go on the list of Essential businesses. Fellow doctors and nurses with our 'hero doctors and nurses' were able to perform thousands of abortions per day/week, far outnumbering the number of Covid deaths. Is there a mask for that?

That's a good point. There needs to be a balanced approach. I don't know what that looks like but surely a compromise can be made.

THe compromise would be that Those who choose not to wear a mask should be left alone. You wear one if you believe it helps you. I will do as I please because...America.

Want to be in public? Wear a mask. I don’t care if you want to kill yourself, but it’s not right that you expose others trying to keep safe. Pretty simple.

If you are that fearful you need to stay home and use the pick up and delivery options offered by your local stores.

I do, and I believe it helps others as well. It's a small concession in the scale of sacrifices.

Death is death. It's bad in Florida and it's bad in New York.

Not unless it's an absolute requirement.

Trish, shall he impose marshall law to confine the dumbarses who haven't gotten the message after 5 months to social distance and wear face masks? How about you, are you not following the President's plan because you are waiting for the police department to give you a $500 fine before you get the point?

A South Florida newspaper is pleading with Gov. Ron DeSantis to do more amid the surge in coronavirus cases and deaths spreading across Florida.


The Sun Sentinel editorial board asked him to issue a statewide face mask mandate in an editorial titled, "Help us out, Gov. DeSantis. We're dying here."


"Help us all out. Far better that you require people to wear masks in public than to continue fostering conditions that will force another shutdown," the editorial said.



"Your refusal to impose a mask order -- a requirement now in effect in 32 other states -- is out-of-touch with the mainstream. A new Quinnipiac poll found 79 percent of Floridians support a mask requirement, including 60 percent of Republicans. If that's not a mandate, what is?"
