It’s unfortunately having an effect. Here in Florida our formerly good governor is giving in to the hysteria bit by bit, closing things down, and our not so good mayor of Jacksonville just announced a mask mandate. This is going to kill our recovery. And all for what? Some fantasy statistics of people who, at some time in the past, have had the disease but now are recovered and just fine (if they even knew they had it).
Things were just starting to come back and people were beginning to invest and work based on the belief that they wouldn’t shut us down again. And now that’s collapsing.
Oh - and part of it is aimed at preventing or seriously impeding the RNC which is supposed to take place in Jax in August.
This is entirely political and has nothing to do with health.
Arizona (RINO) abd Nevada (DEM) just went that way.
[Sidebar] Wife and I ate at a local Red Lobster - every other booth closed and the servers all wore masks. Mentioned how foolish masks were and the lady said that her brother was a MediVac pilot and had to wear a mask as well as all the other flight gear. He was headed to a chopper for an emergency flight and keeled over from oxygen deprivation - had to get a replacement ASAP.
