A letter from doctors to Gov. DeSantis as schools open

A letter from doctors to Gov. DeSantis as schools open
Tampa Bay Times, 8/9/2021

To protect the health of vulnerable Floridians, we are calling on Gov. DeSantis to do three things immediately.

One, Gov. DeSantis should repeal his reckless executive order and allow and encourage local school districts to implement safeguards such as mask-wearing that can minimize COVID-19 spread.

Two, his administration must resume reporting COVID-19 daily data in full.

And three, Gov. DeSantis must do much more to get vaccinations in people’s arms.

This is the Tampa Bay area mostly.

I'd like to see this catch on!

Nice of them to do, but DeSatan probably used the letter as toilet paper.

speech on all the MAGA rubes across America, convincing them he's the only one willing to stand up to evil, socialist Democrats who only want to take away their freedom.
