Now, it's back to being a hotspot. We didn't tighten restrictions soon enough. We didn't keep them tight long enough. And, we didn't tighten them enough, when they were tightened.
The entire state of Florida should've had an indoor mask mandate, and limited outdoor restrictions, from the first month that we learned the virus came to this country.
I'm not about to put my life in the trust of the government that made those decisions. My right to health is more important than my freedom to not wear a mask. You might not feel your health is more important than my freedom to not wear a mask, but thankfully for you, I also have the freedom TO wear one.

We have never before in my lifetime needed strong Federal and State government and leadership than we do right now. Even the cold war days of the 50s and 60s it did NOT feel so up close and personal as this Plague today. TV Land has been spared and has gotten WAY more complacent than Miami or even Chicago, where they can FEEL the presence of deadly danger! I get called "chicken little" and pollyannish because I do not watch Factless News and absorb the propaganda of "act normal" and live the happy talk way. I will stubbornly try to express views that I think are good for humanity, even though I was never before a "do-gooder". I will morph into one during this period of stress and trauma.
If I am wrong and this is NOT a period of great stress and trauma, then OK, cool, I am not perfect. I have been wrong before. I have also been stubborn before!!!!!!!
