“In Florida, we will not let them lock you down.”

“The lock-downs didn’t stop covid. Forced masking, they said last year, would end the pandemic if 80% were masked. Many more than that were wearing masks and it hasn’t worked. They said you could get covid off surfaces which isn’t true.”

“Whatever this variant is, the fact that you identified some in Southern Africa, that does not mean it’s not in any corner of the globe. It’s an airborne respiratory virus. So I think those restrictions are not going to work, they haven’t worked in the past, and clearly; to even be entertaining the idea of doing distributive disastrous policies like lock-downs..

I mean, honestly, I’m not surprised, because I think some people are just wired for this, but it is not going to happen in the state of Florida. You can take that to the bank.”
