FOR WANT OF A NAIL AND A MASK

First as to Governor Ron No Mask DeSantis. We thought our post about Mr. 3000  on June 19, 2020 was sad but appropriate. Florida had hit 3000 new cases a day. On June 20 Florida hit 4000 a day and we posted Mr. 4000. Five days later on June 25 Florida hit 5000 new Covid19 cases a day and things were looking bad.  A week after that Florida topped 10,000 new cases a day and our Governor said "everything was fine" and that the rate has "stabilized" as if 10,000 new Floridians getting sick every day with a virus that could kill them was fine at that level. Well, we had no idea. This weekend Florida set the nationwide record for new cases in one day: over 15,000!  We're #1 baby with a bullet! And our Governor? Still will not require people to wear masks in public.

They are calling Miami the "New Wuhan". 

The Governor will not require people to wear masks in Florida. It brings to mind this ancient proverb:

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail


For want of a mask a person got sick.
For want of a mask his family got sick.
For want of a mask his family  infected five other families.
For want of mask those five families infected their neighborhood.
For want of a mask that neighborhood infected a city.
For want of a mask that city infected a region.
For want of a mask that region infected Florida.
For want of a mask Florida infected the nation.
For want of a mask the nation infected the world. 
And all for the want of a governor that will ask people to wear masks in public. 
What a complete brainless asshole he is. 

It's true we added a few lines to the original proverb. Especially the last one. 
But if the (horse)shoe fits...

It would be nice to know what can be believed.

Here are testing centers in Orlando reporting 100% positive tests. One hundred percent.

[Too be clear: This is NOT because 100% of the people tested actually have Coronavirus. These results are false by an order of magnitude. But these "positive" tests are among the "record number of new cases" being widely reported, and upon which policy is being made.]

We removed the post on the supreme court Oklahoma jurisdiction case because 1) we didn't have permission to use the email; we were not asked to remove it by the author but others suggested it was approaching a line using an email meant to be private.
We erred on the side of caution and reasonableness.
