"SNIP......
We now have a quality poll from Quinnipiac University that seeks to probe public opinion on the great mask debate in Florida in a lot of fine-grained detail. And the conclusion is clear: Anti-mask derangement is losing the argument. Badly.
.....
The Quinnipiac poll finds:
*A plurality of Florida residents believe DeSantis is hurting efforts to slow the spread of covid-19 in the state, 46 percent to 41 percent.
*73 percent think the spread of covid in the state is a serious problem, 59 percent say the spread is out of control, and 61 percent say it was preventable.
*60 percent support requiring students, teachers and staff to wear masks in schools, while only 36 percent oppose it. And by 54 percent to 44 percent, Floridians say schools, not parents, should make the decision on masks for kids.
*59 percent support requiring mask-wearing in indoor spaces, while only 39 percent oppose it.
*63 percent say the issue of wearing masks is primarily about public health, while only 33 percent say its about personal freedom. Meanwhile, 64 percent say theyre effective in slowing covid spread.
*68 percent say local officials should generally be able to require masks in indoor public spaces.

(9,291 posts)when being a serial murderer took effort. You had to stalk your victims, do surveillance of the house, try not to leave any forensic imprints. Really, took some work.
Now all you need to do is run your mouth, and sign a piece of paper. I mean how is anyone gonna do a true crime podcast on this?
