“COVID-19 hospitalizations between the three local hospital systems are continuing to remain above 100 (now approaching 200), and we’d like to see those numbers go down,” Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson said. “Please be vigilant and take preventative actions, including wearing a mask, social distancing and washing your hands often.”

REGARDING:
“Thanks to the governor for letting us decide what is best for our family. If you need someone to blame, how about China.”
Not just your family, but the family of everyone you meet. You get to decide whether or not that little girl will be an orphan. Whether that young man will have to bury his young wife and the child she is carrying. Whether that grandmother will live to hold her grandchild.
But you don’t really decide because you don’t know if you are infected, infectious or if the people you meet are.
The proper response to ignorance is precaution.
As to blaming China for deaths caused by Florida’s measures to slow the spread of the disease, why? Didn’t Governor DeSantis give you control over that? The Chinese government has many faults, but they fought hard to contain the disease. While some of the earliest known cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, China the first 33 or so did not. (We strongly suspect origin in China, since a virus was discovered there 96.2% similar to SARS-CoV-2, but we don’t know where the virus went before it came back to China.) China warned us it was bad. Our president called them liars. He is very good at that

Hallelujah Ms Joy! Finally one who gets it!
To anyone reading this, enter the quick stop location of your choice, you can rest assured that less than 50% of the customers will be without masks. Why? Because they certainly don’t care about themselves and most definitely don’t care about your health or wellbeing.
Some people’s children.
Thanks to the governor for letting us decide what is best for our family. If you need someone to blame, how about China. Remember, there are medications and other proven things that have saved lives. Merry Christmas
AND THIS IS A SURPRISE!!!!!????? From the lack of leadership caused by this horrible governor= no masks no NOTHING – as DJT tells him —- disgraceful behavior
BUT ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL OF THIS
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND FOR GOD’S SAKE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
