Dear Governor DeSantis,
I have lived in Florida since 1962. My Dad (a pilot for *Eastern Airlines from the 1930's) and Mom as well as both grandparents lived here as well. I flew for 50 some years (28,800 hours) and am now living in west Boca. I am writing to ask you to override the idiot Palm Beach county commissioners (a seriously retarded group) who issued a hotly contested and ill-founded order for everyone in the county to submit and wear a mask. The Gov of Ga just countermanded the Atlanta Mayor's equally dumb mask order.
As you certainly know, the masks do absolutely no good in preventing what the crazed media has named a pandemic (which it certainly is not.) In fact, the masks are harmful. Florida has listed some 4000 deaths that are counted (many falsely as you know) as being the result of the 'wuhan flu.' In Florida we have 21 million residents with a historical mortality rate of some 672 per 100,000 which works out to 141,000 annually or 11,760/ month. Over the 4 months of the Chinese flu, 47,040 have passed and 90% from natural causes. The 4,000 listed as having contracted and died from the oriental flu isn't even 10%. The same statistics are found across the world. Hardly, any kind of pandemic!
With increased testing (and many false positives) an increase in the numbers is not unexpected. Still, less than 1% of those who actually contract the disease die of it. Again, no pandemic!
The county is being sued as you know by a group of attorneys to force them to rescind and cancel the ridiculous mask order. newschannel5.com/news/national/coronavirus/palm-beach-county-residents-challenge-mask-mandate-in-court-calling-it-unlawful.
The filing explains the reasoning (logic) of the case. It is this kind of overreaching exercise in mindless authority by a pack of far-left low IQ zealots that turns all thinking people against democrats.
I am asking you, as a reasonable republican, to please order the county to back off.
Kind regards,
Robert J. Firth
