Here's the deal,
1.
I and a hundred million others did adjust their behavior tremendously for the "common good."
We just didn't do it as much as "you" and Skipjack demand
2.
You are a retiree with a set income stream. This means you don't have to worry about making money to survive. Same goes for politicians and the
media.
Your "common good" doesn't include school children, small business owners, or the average Joe who needs to work to put food on his family's table. Or
the mental health of all of the above. Mine does.
Florida shows you are tragically wrong and you don't have the guts to admit it.

Enforced by threat and intimidation. Spoke with a local gringa on the beach and told me this story. Told the story to a long time gringo local
and he said story was possible.
Don't recall all the details to the story so don't ask. Gringa in town stopped by police for not wearing a mask. Said the fine was $700US.
They threatened to arrest her and impound her car. She phoned someone who got her off. The gringa relating this story knew the woman in
question.
A month ago I saw many gringoes without masks in Loreto. Looked like most MX were wearing masks in public.
MX walking on the beach wore masks.
The vibe, IMO, in town was off. A friend described it as funk.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

To me, everything reported by the media is biased. If Desantis really speaks for the people, great. That's Florida. Question raised might be
how does it play in Peoria? Population and demographics for that State is skewed.
Seriously, hold judgment and see how it plays out after Spring break. I'll be first to admit you're on to something. I'd like you to be proven
right. Just don't see Florida as meaning anything right now.

1.Totally proves my point. Only willing to adjust your behavior based on what you consider to be acceptable.
2.No, I am not a retiree with a set income.
As far as Florida goes, hahahaha. De Santis is a liar and data suppressor.

You keep saying this. Where are your "facts."
Because right now you just sound like one of the weirdo's on the far right claiming election fraud.

You can type "DeSantis suppresses COVID data" into the Google search engine as easily as I can. Plenty of articles available for your enlightenment.

Gnukid: they will start vaccinating your age bracket in California on April 1. I suspect you will be first in line,
eh?

Funny thing, I have been mistaken for Canadian. I grew up in western Washington, and when I was college age on east coast people occasionally asked
me about my accent, they said I sounded Canadian. Don’t get that question anymore, so I must have lost my western Washington/Canadian accent.
