FL governor
Ron DeSantis berated high school students for wearing masks at a press conference
at a location with very high incidence of Covid. He said: “…you do not have to
wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing
anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So, if you wanna wear it,
fine, but this is ridiculous…” I am at a loss for words.
Ukraine:
Maripol and its 400,000 Ukraine residents have been cut off from the rest of Ukraine
by the Russian army. As of this morning over one million Ukrainians have fled
the country. The people are still hanging on with their leaders.
