This is a preemptive strike by Biden out of pure panic, since the public making a direct link between Biden\u2019s border disaster and COVID will collapse his weak public support.<\/p>\n<p><em>James Barends<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wayne, Pa.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 arrogance is criminal. His attitude regarding the safety of schoolchildren, and in fact all Florida\u2019s citizens, is in violation of his responsibility as governor.<\/p>\n<p>The coronavirus is airborne, so the proper use of a mask can block its transmission. DeSantis\u2019 refusal to allow local school boards to mandate masking puts the children and their families at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming that it should be the parents\u2019 choice whether or not to mask their children denies his responsibility for public safety.<\/p>\n<p>His opposition to vaccine passports further illustrates his reckless disregard for public safety.<\/p>\n<p><em>Irving A. Gelb<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>North Bergen, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist to know why Biden is verbally jabbing DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>For those who haven\u2019t noticed, DeSantis poses a threat to Democrats in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>As a progressive governor and strong leader, DeSantis will not allow Biden to destroy him. Florida is the \u201cstand your ground\u201d state. And De\u00adSantis is standing his ground over mask mandates.<\/p>\n<p>The most immediate threat to our nation is Biden\u2019s open-border policy, allowing migrants from Latin American countries, many with variants of COVID-19, pour across the border in unprecedented numbers and re-infect our nation \u2014 all of which is counterproductive to the health, safety and welfare of America.<\/p>\n<p><em>JoAnn Lee Frank<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Clearwater, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The situation in Florida with the continued spread of the Delta variant has really gotten out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Hospitals and medical personnel across the state are overwhelmed with sick, mostly unvaccinated patients, and the numbers continue growing each day.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccinations are the only way that the pandemic in Florida, as well as the rest of the country, will finally be brought under control.<\/p>\n<p>These vaccines are safe, effective and have very few side effects. The time has come for politics to be pushed aside and let medicine take over here.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the flow of illegal immigrants into Florida and other sections of the country must be stopped at once.<\/p>\n<p>To all Americans: Get yourselves and your families vaccinated as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<p><em>John Amato<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fresh Meadows<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Biden has the audacity to attack DeSantis on his common-sense COVID policies for Florida, just because he intends to let children and adults live free with precaution.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Biden administration opens the border wider every day, letting in the unvaccinated, criminals, drug dealers, rapists and sex traffickers.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is failing to protect America from foreign and domestic terror.<\/p>\n<p>Hands off DeSantis, Joe. Finish the wall. Stop taking orders from the looney-left radicals in your party and protect and defend America now. <\/p>\n<p><em>JR Cummings<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Why all the media attention on Florida?<\/p>\n<p>Areas of New York and New Jersey also have high rates of COVID-19 transmission that fall within the CDC guidelines for indoor masking of vaccinated people, but New York and New Jersey have also not issued any mandates for universal indoor masking.<\/p>\n<p><em>William Fidurski<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Clark, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to weigh in on today\u2019s stories?
