          https://floridacapitalstar.com/2021/08/13/floridas-request-for-ventilators-not-due-to-shortage/

          Florida’s Department of Health asked the federal government for 200 ventilators and 100 high flow nasal oxygen kits to add to Florida’s emergency reserves. DeSantis says he was not aware that the request has been made.

            ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Just over half of Florida’s 2.8 million public school students now face mandates to wear masks in classrooms as a courtroom battle continues over efforts by Gov. Ron DeSantis to leave such decisions up to parents.

              https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/08/27/florida-schools-mask-ruling/

              A Florida judge ruled Friday that Gov. Ron DeSantis’s administration overstepped its authority in restricting school districts from enacting mask mandates after parents sued officials amid a surge in coronavirus infections.


              Judge John C. Cooper of Florida’s 2nd Circuit sided with parents from six Florida counties who challenged DeSantis (R) and state education officials in court this week, arguing that the governor’s order infringes on classroom safety guaranteed by the state’s constitution.

                It's going on in my home town too. Unfortunately I have a couple friends who are on the school board. Poor bastards.

                  TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Department of Education on Monday defied a recent ruling from a state judge and leveled its first sanctions against school board members who rejected the DeSantis administration’s orders on local mask mandates.

                          Wow! 13 died from a disease that normally takes 4 weeks to kill and the kids have only been back for 2 weeks? Those masks they were required to wear must have made the COVID worse…

                                        That wasn't the point of my posting the graph. The point was, Florida's going through a rough patch right now, and cherry-picking over school infections isn't going to change that.

                                          Oh, FFS, did anybody else actually read that bullshit?

                                          Yes, Florida’s been a hotspot these past two months and had one of the worst spreads we’ve seen. How does that justify the Post trying to manipulate the facts to create a narrative? 13 staffers doesn’t equate 13 teachers and in this case, we don’t even know that 13 died of COVID, the article admits that. Beyond that with the timing, most or all caught the disease before the school year began. Even the one teacher example they used likely caught it from his sister. (And wasn’t it extra special how the Post mentioned his attention to children of color and his work in a program for kids founded by a Dem rep?)

                                          They also pointed back to the Texas teachers, both of whom died before kids were back in school.

                                          Are you denying that this was a gross misrepresentation and attempt to manipulate the readers? Or is it justified just because Florida got hit with a surge? The same surge that experts are predicting for elsewhere in the US?
