It’s a lot more than that. The governor has consistently denied the severity of the pandemic, even in the face of these numbers.

Florida governor blocks school mask mandates, says parents can choose
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on Friday blocking mask mandates in the state's schools, saying parents had the right to decide if their children would wear face coverings.

“In Florida, there will be no lockdowns, there will be no school closures, there will be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said in announcing his executive order during a speech in southwest Cape Coral.

Walk?! In Florida?
Or drive their Rascal scooters or SUVs to the nearest Walmart. They can pick up some new pajama bottoms, Budweiser and get a free vaccine too.

It‘s amazing how the Rascal became the ubiquitous transport of the morbidly obese.

I saw a guy on the weekend on one. He was taking the GO train from Niagara to Port Credit.
Poor guy was so big he got stuck in the door at the station.

Yep people are so overweight they can't even walk. And obesity is a major factor in serious Covid illnesses and death. It kills more people than Covid. Maybe bring back fat shamming? It will save lives and free up hospital space. Honestly fat shaming is why i lost weight . In my early 20s i had this old Chinese doctor, she snapped at me for being fat. It was embarrassing, but it did motivate me to lose the weight. A lot of these illnesses are preventable or easy to fight off, if you just eat a healthy diet and exercise, it's so easy!

High Obesity Rates In Southern States Magnify COVID-19's Threat
In the U.S. South — home to nine of the nation's 12 heaviest states — obesity is playing a role not only in COVID-19 outcomes but in the calculus of the vaccination rollout.
www.npr.org
Obesity and weight-related illnesses have been deadly liabilities in the COVID-19 era. A report released this month by the World Obesity Federation found that increased body weight is the second-greatest predictor of COVID-19-related hospitalization and death across the globe, trailing only old age as a risk factor.

Keeping hospital ICUs from filling. Unless we issue a decree that non-vaxxed COVID patients will be first to be denied care and allowed to die.

That’s a lot of dead preteens. So I don’t think that’s going to fly.

The you be you, acceptance of everyone’s choices at all costs movement has cost a lot of lives. Self harm by drugs, alcohol or the fork is to be challenged, not accepted.Yep people are so overweight they can't even walk. And obesity is a major factor in serious Covid illnesses and death.

Non-vaxxed eligible patients? I don't think many preteens are landing in hospital with COVID.

The mobility scooter is usually a major contributor to the obesity, rather than a symptom. People with mobility problems need a way to get around, but often don't change their eating habits to reflect the major reduction in physical exercise. My grandfather; a farmer most of his life and the lone person tending a 10-acre orchard in the Okanagan into his 70s, ate a healthy, balanced diet (he was damn near a fruitarian). He was quite active until it was too painful for him to walk. Switching to a mobility scooter was freeing for him, but the lack of physical exercise (even as painful as it may have been) meant his life became nearly entirely sedentary, and he kept eating like the hard working farmer that he had been for the previous 40 years.
