Sadly Fl. Gov. DeSantis has bent to the will of his superiors in Political leadership. And there are not enough free-thinking, empathetic Fl. citizens to complain and throttle back on his 100% opening up Florida edicts. Many more conscientious Governors of either party are dialing back selected activities in their state. They are, also, instituting needed mask mandates - despite mask-wearing having UNNECESSARILY become an extremely polarizing subject, a wedge issue. This should NEVER even become an issue in the US - it was easily accepted by the citizens of New Zealand when their government needed them to respond - no problem, they responded. Many other successful countries have reacted JUST like New Zealand. They TRUST their government because they show them the science of mask-wearing and they believe in science more than citizens do in the US. The US citizens put too much weight on anti-science promoters and obscure conspiracy theories - like Qanon. With US CV cases hitting a record of 184,000 per day, the US and particularly Florida are going to have to have a "come to Jesus" moment when America is cemented back together and wedge issues are "put in the rearview mirror" so that mask-wearing, restaurant limitations, and other limitations of activity are universally WELCOMED and ACCEPTED by citizens. Wedges need to be torn down and replaced with empathy and one single mindset to fight against the CV. The CV problem will become so BAD after Thanksgiving that Florida and the US will be dragged "kicking and screaming" back to science and empathy for each other. Because we are ALL together in one big boat and to survive we MUST cooperate. Failure to do this will cause Florida to become like South Dakota which today has a 60% positive CV rate, meaning that every 2 out of 3 persons is carrying the virus.
