I admit, I did not wear a mask at first when we had 10 cases in Leon County, but today I wear one. It is not comfortable, I get it. But it is about doing a small part for myself, my family, and the community. We are all in this together, so please stop injecting politics into the face mask argument.

The crazy thing is that the people who do not have a medical degree or any expertise, are typically the first ones to judge and have a medical opinion.

When we stop doing what has been shown to work, and then do things that contradict science, shock defies logic.

I know Covid-19 has wrecked, is wrecking a global economy. I know the US economy has tanked. I also believe Americans have become soft and complacent! Our grandparents endured famine, war rations, depression, disaster and financial hardships. The biggest differences I see between then and now are the elements of family, community and nationalism. We aren’t banding together to combat a unified cause. It’s very much a “free-for-all”!

I’m not here saying we should give up our freedoms and civil liberties. I am saying following our ancestor’s example means voluntarily working together (not against one another) to achieve a common goal.

I’m curious. How many people reading this actually know what following the Golden Rule means, or even know what the Golden Rule is? If not, what does it say about our collective morality and how we value the “American Way?”

That was the total – cumulative. Yep, 44 TOTAL hospitalizations. Only 6 still in hospitals as of today.

Does it say “are?” Based on what I have seen, unless they recently changed it, the hospitalization number was aggregate. I could be wrong, but these numbers are accurate. Leon County certainly never saw anything close to the predicted number of “200 daily” which was pushed out in April.
