    Am I missing something? He signed an executive order that “urged” people to mask up. Didn’t he do the same thing last week w/o an order? You can’t enforce an urging so what was the point?

  2. Papito

    Florida legslature in the last session said no to local mayors issuing mandates. so….nope

  3. Frann

    Disney and other theme parks will upcoming vacationers if they change their mandates now. Mask up if you aren’t vaccinated, but don’t make the rules harsher for all, especially since masking for the last 1.5 years hasn’t worked.

      Except, of course, for having NO regular-flu season whatsoever last winter, because of all those “theatrical” protections against the other kind…
      Maybe everyone was just drinking herbal tea.

      1. EricK

        nope not at all, because everyone who got the flew last winter were diagnosed with the virus

          EXACTLY!!!!…I work in healthcare and can’t believe what I have witnessed over the past 18 months!! And no way in hell I was getting that fast-tracked vaccine, esp for a virus with roughly 99% survival rate, just too risky!

          1. Kata

            Right….. where exactly do you work and what do you do in healthcare?

    This isn’t that hard. Where a mask or stay home. It’s a pandemic after all.

    1. You’re right this isn’t that hard if you want to wear a mask wear one, if you don’t want to wear a mask don’t.

    Unless the state tells Disney they have to change the rules, I don’t see Disney changing them because the CMs really don’t want to be the mask police again.

    I could see Disney following what the Orange County mayor has done and say that it is recommended, but not required to wear masks indoors.

    As for me, nope, not going to happen unless the rules change, the masks have not worked so far, why should be expect them to magically work now? And they just make it very difficult to breathe and cause other issues.

    1. You have to keep in mind that Disney corporation is a huge Democrat supporter and tends to do whatever the democrats tell them to.

    2. Wow , youwere way off. Ha.

    Id hate for companies to do this even though some restaurants are beginning to but this is where you enforce showing proof if you are vaccinated. If you show you are fully vaccinated you can get into the park without a mask if you arent then go get vaccinated and rebook your trip when you are fully vaccinated. THis whole honor system deal is crap because the unvaccinated know they can walk around freely without a mask and nobody will question them. And yes they can ask for proof. Read up on the small print for HIPAA.

    1. Davis the security guard

      I agree! lets show proof that we got a vaccine that isn’t protecting us from the current variant. Totally makes sense.

    Urge- not require

    Look if floridians were folks who could be trusted to do the right thing, then you probably wouldnt be in a state of emergency.

    And before you start saying masking or vaccines doesnt work, we know that % rates of infection are higher in places that didnt require masks and that the vast majority of covid cases and deaths are now from the unvaccinated.
    We’ll never know how many lives were saved with masks and vaxxing. Thats the point.

      We aren’t making in Michigan since June, no spike. But last April, our Covid cases were leading the country and we were the Covid epicenter. This is when restaurants were closed and face diapers were mandatory everywhere. Masks have nothing to do with this. They are a control thing. A distraction from all the things that government is not doing: high inflation, China, border crises, riots, rising crime. Covid is a convenient and easy way deflect. And these mask mandates have nothing to do with statistics.

    2. I wouldn’t exactly say that we’ll never know how many deaths were saved from masking. Because cloth masks and paper surgical masksurgical masks allow molecules the size of the covid virus to pass right through them so they virtually do no good. The only mask that does about is 70% blocking job of the covid viruses is an N95 mask. And only when worn property and has been fit tested to the person.

    Democrats love their “State of Emergencies “. Especially when one has such a high survival rate. Keeps them from actually doing their real job and keeps the public from focusing on things like China, inflation, border crises, rising gas prices, rising crime in cities, ………

  9. Medworker

    Is it just me that notices that if you try to research what the death rates are for this so called dangerous Delta variant, that there is absolutely NO INFORMATION ANYWHERE….all you see is the number of cases, and of course no mention of survival rate…but I guess that would not fit the agenda of fear mongering! Get out and live your life ppl!!! If you are scared then keep your AZZ at home!!

    1. The CDC is using the death rate and the infection rate from the numbers that are currently in India. India does not have a vaccine that has been proven effective against the non variants. Iris. There is absolutely no information about the variant contamination and death rate from Americans like you have said.

  10. Hey, Kenr, got facebook? Take your BS there, please! New strain is way different!

    1. J.

      Dennis, if by different you mean less dangerous, that is certainly true. Cases might be spiking at the moment, but deaths certainly aren’t. They remain flat. For example, in my state, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, Covid deaths in July have averaged 2.7 per day and in June deaths averaged 2.63 per day. This was a good drop from deaths in May which averaged 7.19. The Delta variant is making virtually no difference in the statistic that matters most, deaths. I would urge you to go do the research for your own state’s numbers. In most states, they can be tracked by your department of health.

    2. KenR

      Hey Dennis, sorry that statistics and facts that you don’t like are considered BS. Our idiot governor Whitmer had masks mandates and 25% capacity at restaurants yet in April we/Michigan were the epicenter. Be a good sheep and put your face diaper on.

  11. You are 100% right. And if the government was truly concerned with death rates then why don’t they ban all alcohol and all cigarettes they kill more people than this thing is doing now day.

    Demings is a typical democrat that uses fear to control the masses. The resident of Orlando need to vote him out!
    Governor DeSantis has already made it a law NO ENFORCEMENT OF MASKS!!! Most sheriff and police departments in Florida will not longer answer those calls.
    What we need to do, is for 500,000 people to show up at Disney maskless.

  13. Vic

    What a bunch a whiners.
    You people haven’t seen what rough is.
    YET
    And you won’t survive it.
    ?

    The Orange County mayor here is an absolute a-hole. He’s probably one of the worse in our state. That being said, he can’t do jack squat since our governor passed state legislation overriding all county mandates making them illegal. He’s simply trying to intimidate people and make it look like he has power. We don’t wear masks here. Only those living instigated by the perpetuated fear wear them.

    None of what is happening is about science. It’s about politics. They are losing control over the people and are trying to get that control back.
