I'm guessing that Ron DeSantis is smiling right about now

 From AP -

Florida breaks record with more than 21,000 new COVID cases

 Florida reported 21,683 new cases of COVID-19, the state’s highest one-day total

 

since the start of the pandemic, according to federal health data released

 

Saturday, as its theme park resorts again started asking visitors to wear

 

masks indoors.


The state has become the new national epicenter for the virus, accounting for

 

around a fifth of all new cases in the U.S. as the highly contagious delta

 

variant of the coronavirus continues to spread.


From the Tallahassee Democrat -

Florida Gov. DeSantis signs executive order making masks in schools optional

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he will sign an executive order to issue emergency rules for "protecting the rights of parents," making face masks optional across the state in schools and leaving it up to parents.

The governor made the announcement Friday in Cape Coral at an Italian restaurant, where he also presented parents who oppose masks. 


Apparently, to "pro-life" types like DeSantis, life itself is optional.


Masks are mostly for those around you, so if you want to live in society,


1. Wear a damn mask for the folks around you.

2. Get vaccinated for yourself.


Otherwise, walk out to the desert, find your rock, and crawl back under it.
