Next week, masks will be optional for teachers and students in our school district. The time is finally turning.

Mostly true. We live in Tampa, Dem Mayor, and city council. It is not true here. City and County mask mandates.
But, in Conservative Counties, it is very true. My wife and I drove down to Fort Myers Beach last weekend and 99.99% of the people were maskless. Inside stores, shops, and restaurants, walking the streets, etc... Lee County and Collier County to the south (Naples) are very Conservative strongholds.
National chain stores there have mask rules posted at the entrances. They are ignored. They are not enforced by the store’s management. Why? Because they know their clientele. Their customer base will not tolerate it. The locals would simply revolt en masse. Those stores need to generate sales.
My wife asked me on our way back to Tampa if we should think about moving down there.

For perspective, I heard it mentioned on the radio today that it was one months ago that Dr. Worskni(sp) from the CDC gave her famous “impending doom“ speech with talks of hospitals overflowing, refrigerator trucks of dead bodies, etc. Of course, none of that happened or even came close to that but we still musk to to “trust“ the scientists.

Next you have to keep a ‘ready mask’ depending on where you travel. Like state laws on guns.

Compared to Florida occupational licensing restrictions, the State of New York of the 1960’s was far more free.

If you studied Florida building regulations, you probably would prefer to study medicine instead.

Same here in southwest PA.

Whatever Tommie The Commie Wolf says is ignored.

You can wear a mask if you want to but at least half don't and nothing is said.

Schools are open but I don't know about masks.

Polk county. Virtually no mask mandates. Haven’t worn one to ANY STORE in over a year. Shell station, the other day... not one customer had a mask. Only 1 of 2 employees. I love it.

This American is happy to wear a mask in crowded stores. I don't care to see your face. I don't care if you can see mine.

You sir are an ignorant fool. You publish the Common Flu stats when the subject is the Wuhan Virus. The Common Flu is well known to be deadly to infants and the elderly. Every year millions in both categories die of The Flu. Never has any mask mandate been issued by the GubMint during any annual flu season. Ever.
The Wuhan Virus is deadly to the elderly but, is not very deadly to the young or even the middle-aged who are in good health.
You want to wear a cloth mask, a bandana, or anything else over your face. Go for it. But, those of us who rebel against GubMint mandates don’t care one whit about your opinion or your little chart. You can stay where you are. Cowering behind your useless cloth mask. I pity you.

In Florida and Texas, transplanted refugees are turning the state purple.

I found out the other day that an acquaintance is planning to move to Texas. People are escaping to freedom in Texas and Florida.

I’m in MS, a truly free State.

Unlike TX and FL we have Constitutional Carry.

What is amazing (to 78 he old me) is this story has even been written.

Florida actually is more red now than it was before President Trump.

Actually, you’re the ignorant fool. I published the common flu stats to show that Florida is ALWAYS at the very BOTTOM of the list for flu/pneumonia deaths in America and NY is always at the TOP of the list which clearly shows that masks have F all to do with Florida having a lower incidence of Covid presently because NOBODY was wearing masks in 2015-2019. It requires just a bit of abstract thinking to grasp this and that is clearly not included in your skill set.
