Meanwhile, in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis promised he would not “indulge in the insanity” and will keep schools and businesses open:
The Governor says we expect an increasing wave this winter, but we will not "indulge in the insanity" seen in other parts of the country such as closed schools, mask mandates, lockdowns, etc.
