Several cities and large counties, including Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Hillsborough (which includes Tampa), have mask requirements.
FL ranks 24th out of the 50 states with 47,405 cases per 1M. FL currently has 1,018,160 cases.
Cases are also on the rise in FL.
You left out Broward County, where I live. Incidentally all the counties in South Florida have had mask mandates the longest, yet they have had by far the most cases.
Kind of disproves your claim that masks work, but keep panic pushing!
Your friend who works on the ambulance is treating everyone as if he might be infected because at the time the patient is transported no one knows who is infected and who is not.
Someone who is hospitalized with COVID-19 is sick. At that point the sensitivity of the test is irrelevant.
the tests are not irrelevant if someone is sick because they could have the regular flu which has very similar symptoms to covid 19. knowing whether someone has covid or the regular flu might be difficult to determine if the tests are too sensitive.
What can I tell you, I don't wear a mask and I have never gotten a citation. Shows how much that article is worth. I have been to several nightclubs, including Mynt, and no one was wearing a mask. Not even to get through the front door. It's over man, we don't give a crap about your masks.
If mask mandates worked, this wave of new cases wouldn't be happening. It's that simple. You can blabber all you want, the bottom line is that you are wrong.
No, You're without a doubt WRONG. Masks do help and here is more proof of that:
Lawton, OK pop. 92,859, maskwear required, total positive cases: 3414, covid deaths: 27
Enid, OK pop. 49,585, maskwear NOT required, total positive cases: 3696 covid deaths: 35
Today, 12/2/20, a record shattering 54 deaths were reported in Oklahoma. 87% of the deaths happened to people 65+. So when are older people going to take better care of themselves against the virus? Not very often, but sometimes I one at Wal-Mart and other stores without a mask on.

If you're obese and above 65, you don't got much to live for anyways.
Listen kid, I live here. I know what's the deal here. You don't. Move on. No one wears masks here anymore.
And on top of that, the hospitals there only have a few covid patients?
That isn't the case here. At least one Oklahoma City Hospital set up a couple of tents for covid patients. The governor had to require bars and restaurants to close at 11pm. The town of Enid mentioned above finally passed a required mask ordinance earlier this week. So things having been improving in Oklahoma.
