Out here in flyover country, the lockdown was 2-3 weeks, just enough time for stores to put up plexiglas, signs and tape on the floor. Wasn't enforced anyway. By June when DeSantis was threatening bars, we had tossed the masks, everything was open except for chain restaurants but that was corporate decision making. Kids went back to school a few months later, no masks, no distancing.
Our governor made recommendations but it was pretty much up to the people to follow them or not so we used observation.(because nobody understood what was happening) BS. We observed no mass die off so we went back to normal.
Unlike FL/DeSantis, it wasn't turned into a TV mini-series. I realize now why DeSantis was on TV "fighting the good fight" so much. He's being pushed on us.
I’ve listened to a couple of podcasts with a lawyer who won the first case defeating mask mandates in Florida. He got a call from DeSantis shortly there after and that is when DeSantis changed his tune on mandates. The lawyer speculated DeSantis was being overly cautious because he narrowly defeated Gillum..
