I understand you are simply just giving your opinion about things, and your opinion only. They said the same exact thing about DeSantis last year when he did the same exact thing and left the State open and gave the people the OPTION of choosing for THEMSELVES, not the gov. And it turned out extremely well for the people for Florida. Especially for people in a State that has the oldest population. For people who live in FLA (especially in Miami), its full of people who fled rouge, communist dictators who enforced socialism that also produced gov mandates in several parts of their gov. The economy to be specific. I don't know how for the life of people some America born don't understand why a lot of these people risk their lives for FREEDOM to come to this country. They escaped exactly what some Govs, mayors and other UNELECTED officials are trying to do here, and thats take away the freedom to CHOOSE.This is a shocking horrifc take and is line with the disaster unfolding in Florida, governors like DeSantis wrongly believe Covid-19 is personal responsibility. That principle (while being advantageous to their base) is destructive way to govern. We know from measles, mumps when a raging infectious disease like the delta variant is on the loose (one person infects on average up to 6 others) personal responsibility is out the window. It shuts down hospitals, schools which is basic abdication of governance by Desantis. The responsible thing is to accept the cost of school being open with maximum protections required for all kids. Nobody has a “personal responsibility” to infect others with this virus and continue to cause chaos in our community. WhIch is why we should be mandating vaccines to win this war against the virus, it is are only way out of this. The founding principle of the US are that people come together and form laws based on reason, while personal responsibility doesn’t work against delta. We can’t continue to be sitting ducks for this virus.
Being born and raised in Miami I've had family members, close friends who I have seen what them and their families have gone through just to get to America, and I want no part of that even remotely close in America. We either believe in all of our laws or we believe in none of them. There are several similarities that are transpiring here in the US that happened first in those countries decades ago before they were turned into a full blow communist/socialist's country. So please spare me the nonsense of we need to force people against their will to do this or that for a virus we will most likely all get and survive (nearly 100% survival rate) anyway. Because the DATA says the complete opposite.
