The Media BADLY wants to cover this up 👇👇👇
"Per 100,000 people Florida records 1,178 cases and under 20 deaths. By comparison New York City has double the cases and over ten times the deaths: 2,626-277/100K. Massachusetts 1,614-120/100K, and Arizona 1,672-130/100K."

Public health officials and some political leaders are touting face masks as necessary tools to stop the transmission of coronavirus. Still, not everyone is convinced; moreover, all people cannot wear face masks. Some people suffer from health issues, PTSD flashbacks, etc.
IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL EVERY THING THAT MOVES

Despite certain pushback, Sabatini has made it very clear that he will not back down. The Republican representative openly maintains that he plans on taking lawsuits against face mask ordinances to the Florida Supreme Court. Sabatini furthermore has the support of many conservatives who take issue with forced face masking.
Mounting backlash against face mask mandates
The Florida Republican representative is not the first American to strongly oppose mandates for face coverings.
Right now, police sheriffs in Ohio, Texas, and other states maintain that they will not uphold requirements for citizens to wear masks. In Georgia, localities have attempted to mandate face coverings; however, Gov. Brian Kemp quickly shut this down by reminding the state that such mandates are legally unenforceable.
