Thanks to our great Republican leadership. This state has decided to ignore this public health crisis away.

The consequences are deadly.

Does DeSantis have investments in the funeral industry? Just wondering...

Being anti-vaccine & anti-mask is not the hill you should choose to die on in the fight against a deadly airborne disease.

It's not a matter of being self-reliant, or expressing rugged individualism, or embracing liberty, or preserving freedom, or owning anyone.

It's just plain stupid.

Because the stupid motherfuckers are swarming in Western North Carolina. Second Summer homers and long staying tourists. Every other car tag is Florida. Just wait until Color season, time enough for Delta, Lambda, and the Columbia strains to become thicker than mosquitoes in their swamps. DeSatan is gonna kill more than his mouth breathers. FreeDumb. Build that damn wall, at the north Florida state line. Send those Georgia gun nuts there to stop em from coming north.

I grew up here from age 4 to 24, then left, and have to say that for kids, finding sane adults is tough, though schools remain their most reliable resource. I've had to come back due to circumstances beyond my control, but when I get the chance I'm leaving again for good.

114 children are in Florida hospitals. Damn the people here who ruin their futures.
