The Chinese KN-95 masks are quite effective as well, but only a few makers have bee approved for use in
>surgical wards<. They aren't expensive, and are widely available
They certainly are more effective than some nitwit wearing a cloth mask made out of a confederate flag, while letting it hang down around his or her chin
California is 1st in new cases. Texas is 2nd, and Florida is 3rd.However, California has almost 2x the population of Florida, CA 39.51 M vs, FL @ 21.48 M. Texas has a head count of 29 M.
Florida does however, have a much higher percentage of new infections per capita.
However, the map of covid infections, should cast some light to even the most dimly lit among us:
Florida's illustrious governor Ron DiSantis has introduced legislation to forbid a mask mandate in schools, and also threatened to withhold funding from schools which do issue mask mandates.
And now the Op-Ed: IMO, Disantis is a braying jacka**, after the fashion of Donald Trump. His concern is getting his distorted concept of "individual freedom" out to as many weak minded individuals as possible.
BTW, nobody is suggesting another lock down, just apply a little common sense to your behaviour patterns.
I enjoy watching the national news, where reporters interview people on ventilators,and dying, while begging for the vaccine. I enjoy even more watching them being told, "oh no, it's too late for that".
Please don't quote me to spout you drivel and propaganda. I won't put anyone on my "ignore list", since I happen to feel I'm a match for whatever might be said to, or about, me.
You however, are certainly free to put me on yours.
