Will DeathSantis ever issue a mandatory mask order?

Especially one with teeth (like wtf are religious exemptions for a mask?)?

I live in an area of PBC where we've almost all been wearing masks for months now, but it does nothing if the PBC TPTB have these dumb loopholes, and it doesn't help if it's not state wide.

Studies show that just doing that will help so much, even with stuff being open.

I wear one working out at my small powerlifting gym, and I am in their by myself 99% of the time (it helps going to lift at 4 am).

I am tired of calling Berman's office. I know it isn't her fault, she's a good egg, but JFC.

The Villages are his bread and butter. But, he's ignored the rising toll in Collier and Sarasota, so you are probably right.

There will always be the group that won't wear one, no matter what but DAMN, people!! I and my friends and family certainly didn't have to wait for Governor Whitmer to issue a mandate. We've all been wearing a mask since March. I keep extra in my car and I carry some disposable masks in case I meet up with someone who needs one.

It's a mix of common sense and self-preservation.

as per cell phone tracking: more folks are staying put. I'm in PBC so most wear masks, even before the mandate, but I am hoping those staying home more are wearing a mask when they go out, too.

The Republicans have painted themselves into a corner. They have convinced their supporters that Covid is not to be taken seriously.

To backtrack now would be heresy, sacrilege. Like spitting on an article of faith.
