Florida tops the states with 15,299 new cases of COVID-19 in just one day, as numbers surge across the U.S. My fear, though, is that it will get only worse, with the Republican National Convention to be held in Jacksonville, Florida, next month—especially if face masks and social distancing are not mandatory.
Those without masks in public places are a walking menace. A federal plan and a law mandating masks to be worn in public would indeed help. Because President Donald Trump is stubborn and does not like to wear a mask, chances are slim to none it will happen. As a result, willful arrogance and willful ignorance will continue to spread COVID-19, until there is a vaccine available.
