The MASKS have been a farce from day one!!! Cloth masks were shown not to help and the paper masks were designed for protecting one from dust and the like, not a micro organism like a virus!!!
N-95 Masks are what medical people use in a hospital environment, but they are not cheap and have a short useful life...

Before anyone starts casting unfounded biased negative aspersions, about Ron DeSantis, know this: Ron DeSantis Background, compliments of Wikipedia.

Military service
DeSantis received his Reserve Naval officer's commission and assignment to the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) in 2004 at the U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Dallas, Texas, while still a student at Harvard Law School. He completed Naval Justice School in 2005. Later that year, he received orders to the JAG Trial Service Office Command South East at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, as a prosecutor. He was promoted from lieutenant, junior grade to lieutenant in 2006. He worked for the commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO), working directly with detainees at the Guantanamo Bay Joint Detention Facility.[17][18][19]

In 2007, DeSantis reported to the Naval Special Warfare Command Group in Coronado, California, where he was assigned to SEAL Team One and deployed to Iraq[20] with the troop surge as the Legal Advisor to the SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah.[17][18][19]

DeSantis returned to the U.S. in April 2008, at which time he was reassigned to the Naval Region Southeast Legal Service. The U.S. Department of Justice appointed him to serve as an assistant U.S. attorney[20] at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida. DeSantis was assigned as a trial defense counsel until his honorable discharge from active duty in February 2010. He concurrently accepted a reserve commission as a lieutenant in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the US Navy Reserve.[21] He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal.[17][18][19]" Wikipedia

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi that is not what I said, nor what the science shows but some form of mask is better than nothing indoors and in close proximity to others

After I wrote my response, I did view your other comments... When one reads the specifications on the mask to the left it does detail that they are not anti-viral, but I concur with you regarding keeping the wearers slobber and spittle contained... I yield to your expertise in the infectious disease field...

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi I'm fairly certain any one of us as a teen or kid, approached as they were by an adult with his finger "emphatically" emphasizing his words, would quite possibly feel intimidated if we'd been raised to "respect our elders" so I would challenge the "non-intimidating" manner you presume.

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi your earlier comment that the Gov approached the kids in a "non-intimidating manner" He was in fact intimidating and his abrupt tone and finger-pointing further indicators that he was "berating" them. He's the "elder" we teach kids to respect, in theory.

"What did Ron DeSantis say about face masks?
A school superintendent is responding after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was filmed berating students for wearing face masks during a visit to the University of South Florida on Wednesday. Before a speech, DeSantis was filmed telling a group of high school students standing behind him, "You do not have to wear those masks."

If that quote is accurate and I believe it is, SGT (Join to see), then all DeSantis told them was that they no longer were "required" to wear the masks...and I see nothing wrong or berating about it... When the H3!! are we all going to put the trash talk out to pasture and get moving as Americans and Freedom...

Sgt (Join to see) - you have the right to voice your interpretation... however I viewed it differently. Have you listened to the video? Those students made a decision to wear a mask at that event. He made a choice to make a political statement and down dressed them to remove them in a totally inappropriate manner. The RP Right continue to support an ex-president who orchestrated a sedition to overthrow the lawful election of POTUS Biden... whether you like it or not. When you & the rest of the RP Trumpublicans are willing to accept that, stand up for our democracy & Constitution then we can move along as Americans and Freedom. By the way... one of those Constitutional rights is the freedom of speech... whether you like it or not. I suggest if you don't like what I or any other person writes then pass over their post... just as I do.
