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.
