Actually, we totally believe they’re doing it again:

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.

And he’s preparing for the winter surge with a new monoclonal antibody treatment:
Florida announces they will be adding the new Astrazeneca monoclonal antibody treatment to the available course. This particular product will serve as a prophylactic in higher risk, immunocompromised individuals.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed:
Also, the Governor adds that the data coming in on Omicron thus far is really positive, and it is not leading to the same level of hospitalization and severe illness that has been seen with Delta.
