Morning, all!! Morning, Dr. R!! This quote caught my eye: "Nonetheless, DeSantis and Abbott refuse to modify their ban on mask mandates, clearly seeing a strong stand on this issue as a political statement that they believe will win them Republican voters. But as infections and deaths, especially among children, rise, the wisdom of this move is not clear. " You would think these folks would be all in to protect their constituency from dying so they can vote for them when 2022 (and 2024) rolls around. But oh, wait. They're rigging the system with their voter suppression laws and jerrymandering, so no need to have majority numbers. Bless their hearts.
