So DeSantis decided to pick today to overrule local school boards & outlaw mask mandates in schools.
This is not good. FL is now in uncharted territory with 21.7K new cases reported today (the largest single day number of new cases). 108 new deaths. This wave is now larger than all previous waves. 10,187 hospitalized (83% of its all-time pandemic high). Time to change gears: pic.twitter.com/4wJ3PpWaJL

Florida now ranks first in per capita COVID19 hospital admissions and second for child hospitalizations in the country. We need real leadership now!

DeSantis response to soaring COVID case/hospitalization in FL is fund-raising letter: "For more than a year, our freedom has been under a constant assault by the radical left. Now, they’re coming for your freedom again."
