The state of Florida has had almost as many deaths from C-19 as the # of Londoners who died ....

... in the Nazi bombings in WW II. 40,000 dead in Florida from C-19 so far and 50,000 civilians died
during the German air raids aka "The Blitz." Sadly I think Florida will soon pass the 50,000 mark.
Everybody needs to remember that @ the CPAC meeting a little more than a month ago the audience
cheered when somebody said that President Biden had not hit his goal of 70% of Americans vaccinated
by July 4th.


People like Ron DeSantis and organizations such as Fox News need to be held accountable for this
preventable carnage.

Sorry to rant but I was just watching a documentary about WW II and I remember somebody had posted
a meme here on DU that people not getting vaccinated now would be like a person in London during the
Blitz who not follow the black out rules @ night.
