and we should worry about all of those people who have been following strict guidelines and being good citizens. My son lives there and he only leaves his home for essentials. He wears a mask every single time. He is a very sociable person with lots and lots of friends, but his friends are mostly intelligent, caring humans who are doing the same as he is. He has a job where he can work from home which he's been doing for months.

If a Covidiot in the Publix were responsible for him getting sick I'd be scared to death and would want to throttle DeSantis.

Trump Supporters/Anti-Maskers are raging against masks in Florida and other parts of the country at County and City Council meetings in an effort to force local governments to open up the economy. Watch your local City Council meeting online, and you will see Trump supporters loudly demanding that local governments declare the emergency over.
