They never should have told people that you wear a mask for OTHER people safety.

Congrats on the 10, 000 milestone Florida! Can't wait to see your 100, 000 milestone video!!!

Florida being Florida was bound for this.

Your right to wear a mask lol
Then it should be the doctors and nurses RIGHT to refuse healthcare for those who don’t wear a mask.

This pandemic has really opened my eyes to how entitled we Americans are... 🤦🏽‍♀️

[salvadorbanuelos]

I thought you weren't allowed to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater because it endangers people....isn't not wearing mask as dangerous????

Lets go Florida, Number One, We are coming!

[annmarieknapp]

Clearly not wearing masks and social distancing isn't working people! What the hell is it going to take for you to act responsibly.

Not enough hospital beds - use your governor and mayor’ house for hospital, go, go, go!

Dear FL congrats on voting a man child as your governor... Those that voted against I’m sorry😔.

Everyone, wish us luck down here in Florida with natural selection. If some people are to weak to handle a face covering their immune systems aren't likely to be much stronger.

I don't think people know what 6' means. Honestly it should be 8-10 feet. Wear a mask when out and stay home as much as you can to stop the spread. Take it from me NYC resident! Actually it should be the law to wear a mask. Not wearing one is selfish. Get over yourself and wear one for the safety of you, your family etc. We all have an obligation to one another.

The LONGER you "Freedom Lovers" don't wear a mask, the LONGER this thing will go on.

[dawaj]

Congratulations Florida! You're on your way to being the new epicenter of the WORLD!!!

This is not about whether the Floridians are for masks, or against masks; this is about whether Floridians choose to remain headstrong and yolo in the face of science and aerosol droplet physics.

The governor should have kept the beaches closed And people should be wearing masks. It’s not an infringement on civil rights. It’s to protect innocent people that the boom we are now seeing is caused from. -your local YouTube know it all.

Doing the Right thing is not Doing What You Want. It’s not based on beliefs, opinions or gut feelings. Adult Children.... let’s use our analytical skills to consider the data and make informed decisions.

"Florida shattered records on Thursday when it reported over 10, 000 new coronavirus cases, ..." Thursday isn't even over yet lmfao.

[karenhardie]

Who opened early. Florida, Texas, and California. Bars and beaches open. Lots of new cases were inevitable.

"This is not about whether if you're for masks or against masks.."... No dumb dumb, it's about if you're for health or against health.
