 So obviously the situation in the country as it relates to the pandemic is looking pretty bleak Because covid cases across the country are on the rise thanks to the Delta variant But in Florida the daily average has skyrocketed and hospitalizations have increased by 130% and as politico's Matt Dixon and Bruce Ritchie explain the head of Florida's largest hospital association warned that the skyrocketing number of Covid hospitalizations is unlike anything the state has seen before even as governor Rhonda Santis downplays the spike the Florida Hospital Association on Monday reported 10,389 covid-19 Hospitalizations the most statewide during any point in the pandemic this follows CDC reporting Over the weekend that the state had more than 21,000 new coronavirus infections on Friday It was the highest one-day total for Florida which now makes up roughly one in five new cases nationally about 95% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated and Mary Mayhew the president and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association Said the Delta variant that is sweeping through Florida is infecting young and unvaccinated people and is much different than the previous strain now While the governor of Florida Rhonda Santis has Thankfully finally encouraged people to get vaccinated well simultaneously. He's doing other things that are literally Stopping people from trying to contain the spread of the virus and I can't Read what we're about to read and not come to any other conclusion then Rhonda Santis is is just pro covid-19 like there's no other way to Interpret this so as Florida's coronavirus infections continue to soar public health officials and local elected leaders have pressed the DeSantis Administration to take more drastic steps to get the virus under control DeSantis However has maintained a strict no mandate approach to the virus including touting an executive order last week that prohibits school districts from requiring masks and K through 12 facilities He also vowed to fight any cities or municipalities that try to institute covid restrictions including mask mandates or lockdowns So I mean, this is pure insanity Rhonda Santis needs to prove to us whose side he's on is he on the side of Florida Floridians and humanity or is he actually on the side of the virus because he's going out of his way to make us less Effective at fighting the spread of the virus masks work It's the easiest thing that can be done to try to contain the spread of the virus and when it comes to K through 12 schools Many of those children are not eligible to get vaccinated So he's saying you know, you can't wear masks even if many of you can't take the vaccine those under 11 Sorry, I know that you can't get vaccinated, but you also can't wear masks I mean this behavior here is Sociopathic it borders on psychopathic behavior. This is just insane It's insane And he's doing all of this putting the lives of children at risk all to virtue signal to his far-right base To run on something to suggest that you know, he he fought against this woke SJW mask mandate or whatever He's gonna run on this as if it's a positive when people should be looking at him as one of the biggest Supervillains on the planet because of all of the blood that he has on his hands So in the event you're a school in Florida and you don't want to comply with his ban on mask mandates Well, what happens? Well, you'll be punished. So as CNN reports, Florida's largest school district said it's worried about funding If it does not follow Governor Ronda Santis' executive order preventing the implementation of mask mandates in schools Miami-Dade County Public Schools previously said it planned to revisit its mask optional policy Due to new guidelines issued by the US CDC last week that recommended localities encourage all teachers staff students and visitors in schools So wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status Miami-Dade the nation's fourth largest school district returns the school August 23rd, so I mean if schools in Miami-Dade do the right thing and they require masks then they get penalized for it they lose funding and then as a result of losing funding that also makes them less equipped to deal with the virus and They're unable you know unable to purchase hand sanitizer soap Other things that they can do to try to mitigate the spread. It's just the situation is already Grim in the United States and throughout the world because of this pandemic And then you have individuals like Ronda Santis going out of their way to make it worse Literally fighting on the side of the virus. I mean functionally. He's pro-covid 19 There's no other way to interpret this like there are some Republicans in the United States Who genuinely want the virus to go on forever seemingly because this gives them more political power? They can run on how anti-lockdown they were I'm not necessarily sure what their motivations are but their motivations don't matter What matters is their actions and what they're doing and what he's doing here is incredibly disgusting it endangers children and people are gonna die because of the school and It's sickening So I mean you think that this would be the death of his political career given how poorly he's handled code the 19 But again because of the sad state of politics in the United States of America because of how polarized we are because of we Because of the politicization of the virus He's gonna run on this as if it's some sort of a positive and that is just so sick and twisted it really is
