Florida sets COVID record with 11,515 people hospitalized

9. It's nuts here. But the people are more concerned now than last year.

Including many conservatives. Of course not the crazy base.

Lots, lots more mask in my area. A great majority in the Publix I shop at. Of course I doubt that is mirrored in the hard core red areas, but my area is not really blue although we have the 11th highest vac rate in the state.

Six people I consider friends or at least casual friends have or recently had it. And all under 65.

One in the ICU for a week and still on oxygen. The one thing they have in common? All republicans voters and all unvaccinated. 4 in a household of 5. 4 had it. The one who didn’t is the only vaccinated in the household.

The unvaccinated are killing themselves.

We need new mask mandates and many of our local leaders are ready to do it but the Governor has banned it. This is backfiring on him.
