Irked by the sight of high school students wearing masks at his press conference, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis asked them to remove the facial coverings, calling their use “COVID theater.”
DeSantis then sighs and shakes his head in apparent frustration before launching into the press conference at the University of South Florida, which he visited to tout $20 million in funding for cybersecurity training. At least two students removed their masks at the governor's request, according to the video."As always, our students should be valued and celebrated," Hillsborough Schools Superintendent Addison Davis said in a statement.
"After 2 years of mixed messages and social engineering from health authorities and media, the governor wants to make sure everyone is aware of the facts and data now, so they can feel free and comfortable without a mask," Pushaw added."Masks and respirators are effective at reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, when worn consistently and correctly," the CDC website states.
"Masking is a critical public health tool for preventing spread of COVID-19, and it is important to remember that any mask is better than no mask," the CDC website states.
