The CDC Discovers Actual Public Health, Just in Time…for the Elections

Emancipation From Lockdown in Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis has proven it: it is actually possible for a politician to wise up and do the right thing. In a sweeping order announced September 25, the governor has opened up the entire economy.
