It is very unfortionate this whole issue has become politicized, hence avoiding doing what is right for the welfare of the residents of FL.
If the numbers in FL are increasing but the number of hospitalizations/deaths are not really all that alarming why would Desantis order us to wear masks?

The numbers are increasing not because people are dropping like flies, it's because testing has become more widely available and those that would not have met the requirements for testing (asymptomatic/very mild) are now being tested. As those numbers go up, the rate of death/hospitalization goes down.

The virus has been out there all along, we're just learning more about the rate of infection now.
