Ridiculous. You can’t hide from a virus and you could never prove that anyone that works for him gave somebody the virus. Masks do not work. People are paranoid. Never thought I would see this in the United States of America. The media has turned many people into total idiots

Sheer lunacy! Vote his ass out. Sadly, by that time, how many innocent people will have become ill and possibly died from such a stupid order???? Also, my son is a police officer. He will be the first to say that criminals often spit in the face of officers. At least a mask or shield would protect the officer from such behavior.

Maybe a lot of you didn't read his statement. He did this to promote CLEAR COMMUNICATION between his deputies and the public. I approve.

Exactly. The masks make it dangerous enough in public since you dont know who youre talking too and wont be able to identify someone who may attack or rob you. Read the article completely. It is meant as “no mask” inside the police dept for workers and guests. Dont go there then. Make a call. Deputies are still wearing masks inside the jail, hospitals and all other required places. The sheriffs office is their “home”. And they cn set up the rules the way they want and for their own reasons. How many of you actually walk into the sheriffs office anyway. Just another reason for everybody to b****. Get a hobby or part time job and occupy yourself.

In fact - explain why Sheriff Billy-Bob-Jimbo isn't able to have masks ordered and customized with the employee's actual NAME embroidered on it, to further provide identification for employees wearing masks in the workplace.
Their name embroidered on it?? This isnt sleep away camp where we write our names in our underwear. Geeez

By the way, Marion County, with a population of about 370,000, has had nearly 6,800 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, with 104 deaths. Marion reported a single-day record of 13 deaths on Tuesday.

Link to full article: Florida Sheriff Orders Deputies And Staff Not To Wear Face Masks : Coronavirus Live Updates : NPR

And then there's this, 43 sheriff's office employees — including several patrol officers — and more than 200 inmates at the Marion County Jail have tested positive for coronavirus.
Well their death rate compared to population would be about a 99.8% survival rate. That’s exactly about the same as the flu. So for me glad to see the sheriff is using some common sense and not operating with total paranoia like a lot of people.

No I don’t agree but he did put a lot of exceptions to his no mask, like except when around the elderly, except when you have to engage someone up close, except when you feel the did, and so on. He has also mandated that they have to have a mask on their person at all times when on duty. So now it is up to the duties to control when they feel the need to mask up. Again don’t agree it has been proven over and over again constant close contact with individuals as how the virus spreads so when you’re in an office you were in close contact so I’m not quite sure how this is going to play for him.

He's looking for his 15 minutes of fame....of course the national media is going to report on this. Florida seems to be leading the states in COVID and IDIOTS!
