And even if you catch it, in Florida you have the (R) Gov. Desantis to cover for ya....
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), like Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), has maintained a rivalry with President Joe Biden (D) over vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and vaccine passports. With new information being reported regarding COVID-19 related concerns in the state, Florida has now experienced fewer COVID-19 deaths along with a dip in cases.
One thing DeSantis said he wants to reconsider is the mitigation policy that a classroom or entire school is quarantined when students, teachers or staff show up and test positive for COVID-19.
DeSantis pushed the state to set up treatment centers across the state. Speaking Wednesday in Tampa, DeSantis said the state was bolstering its supply in response to cuts in the supply of monoclonals from the federal government. DeSantis has opened more than 25 state-sponsored sites to administer the treatments.
Monoclonal antibody strike teams will deploy directly to long-term care facilities ~ JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida is increasing the availability of monoclonal antibody therapies by opening a rapid response unit to administer this lifesaving treatment in Jacksonville.
