So some of those kids' parents and grandparents and people they passed in the grocery store have gotten sick and some will die because Ron DeSantis is unable to grok the fact that viruses spread? People will literally die because he's just THAT DUMB?

I don't know which would be more frustrating... that he understood viral transmission and let it happen anyway, or that he was too stupid to grasp that simple concept and too stubborn to take the advice of people who could.
