79% In Florida Favor Masks, New Poll Reveals | Katy Tur | MSNBC

78 comments

    1. Desantis needs to be kicked out from office because of his INCOMPETENCE AND ARROGANCE 5400 Floridians already died.

    2. @Green Leader No they don’t . His corrupt votes in 2018 and Russian funding. He’s a crook and the majority of Floridians get it

    1. Katherine Jones
      actually I think they are smarter than the Democrats. I guess Democrats are the only ones who think you have to be told or
      forced to wear a mask.

    2. 79% of Floridians believe a ridiculous assertion that masks protect against viruses. They don’t.

    3. @Tom McDermott it’s more complicated than that, if someone sneezes in your general direction you’re in trouble even masked up but if there are droplets lingering in the air it will still protect you even if it’s not n95 and besides the point of masking up is not to “protect yourself” from the virus it’s to avoid inadvertantly infecting others but THAT apparently is such a conscienous and considerate decision that it’s uniquely and deeply unamerican. The Japanese do it when they’re sick, and it’s one of the reasons their society is in some respects actually vastly superior to ours. Obviously Japan is not a utopia, but neither is America. Our two countries have a lot of flaws it’s true but they do some things right and we do some things right.

    1. @William Marick Polls out, trolls out. Incidentally, your caps lock key is stuck in the on position.

    2. @Lisa Elissa
      Yup. She also thought the virus was called Covid19 because it was the 19th Covid.

    3. @Lisa Elissa
      Trump only hires the best and the brightest…bulbs for Laura Ingram’s hamburgers.

  1. It does not matter if only 1% favored masks. MANDATE THEM NOW ! What is the matter with you people? Have you lost all common sense?

  2. But they have the biggest numbers, sure they dont want to give up that spot.
    Tired of winning ?

    1. The numbers are sooo inflated, it’s ludicrous. 85% false positives, non used tests coming in at 100% positives, etc etc. A fraud.

  3. You gotta laugh. There’s nothing like fear to knock some common sense into idiots. And yet, 21% are STILL against masks. You can’t fix stupid.

    1. @Tom McDermott You are correct but only to a point. The virus cannot travel on it’s own, it needs something to carry it to some one else. When people speak or breath the virus uses our breath as a way to travel to others.

      Masks aren’t good at filtering out the virus, but it is respectably good (not perfect) as a way to stop the breath that carries it.

      Nice try with the “control” part though.

    2. @Joanne Nicastro surgeons wear mask to prevent bacterial infection. If a surgeon was sick they would not perform surgery. Because mask are completely useless against a virus.

    3. I agree. That being said, there’s nothing funny about this America tragedy we’re living through.

      Let’s pray–a majority of American voters show up and vote Trump and his fascistic senate sympathizers out of office–praying is perfectly fine, but not nearly enough.

    4. JR It is stupid because wearing a face mask is harmless. It is selfish not to wear one because in not wearing on you risk sickening, disabling, and killing others. You risk shutting down other people’s businesses depriving others’ of their services and the owners of their livelihood. You contribute to record unemployment with loss or health insurance, record evictions, and overwhelming hospitals and ICU’s so that those needing medical services may not have access to them. You contribute to the lack of sports, entertainment, and to the closure of schools. Americans are banned from trace to most other countries. Without the use of masks if hospitals become overwhelmed lockdowns become locally necessary. Your area may not be a “hotspot” right now but people travel around in this country, the virus is not going to disappear, and in winter people will be crowding indoors. Please obey mask mandates or order take out or order supplies delivered . Stay home or stay outdoors and socially distance. No one is wearing a mask because they are afraid—masks don’t protect the wearer. Non wearers who ignore doctors’ common sense advice are the political pawns. They are the sheep being manipulated to act against their own interests. Running around spouting nonsense: “Look at me not wearing a mask making everyone sick and killing the economy and shutting down hospitals!! I’m so free!! You sheep wearing masks are so stupid protecting society!! I’m going to make up nonsense Constitutional rights to keep ruining everything for everyone including myself!! I want another Economic Depression!!”

    5. @Green Leader
      The only time I get “scared”, ill, upset, disgusted, disappointed etc: etc: is,
      1-when I hear trump speak as if he is an expert on the C.Virus, makes any suggestions for cures, because he considers himself more knowledgeable than the true experts!
      2-when trump thinks that his words will in the least make the educated people in America believe his words, without reading and researching what he says from proven reliable sources-the expert Medical & Research experts, not conspiracy theories!

      And, Fauci is not cited anywhere to gain from any C.Virus drug produced, nor as an inventor, or patent owner, or has he authored any research on a C.Virus drug cure.
      Trump and the conspiracy theorists want to smear Fauci to deflect trump’s own complete incompetence in the handling of the C.Virus in America.
      The “fake news” comes straight out of trump’s mouth, and many from his loyals, such as several anchors at faux news and his supporters who just repeat his words, without question, and the only-only thing trump has achieved in his life, is how to manipulate people to serve his self-interests-period.

  4. I am glad people are getting to understand that the virus does not only spread to Blue States! VOTE BIGMAD OUT!!

  5. Maybe get a accurate Governor. 😷🤦‍♀️. DeSantis is such a let down to the people. He’s stupid.

  6. Compare the looks of this doctor to the governor’s. Look at how tired she is. The dark circles under her eyes!

    1. PLEASE READ & SHARE:
      My investigation report on how Trump spent $3 TRILLION ($3,000,000,000,000) stimulus funds that his administration received to combat coronavirus (including $100s of billions for testing, masks and other PPE). Yet 145K deaths, 4.1M infected and 40M jobless!
      Please read to see who got the most of $3 Trillion and for what.

      (Link to the PDF format of my reports is also available in comments section of the videos – there are more reports on my channel on propaganda & conspiracy theories, including WHO, HCQ, 5G, China, etc.)

    2. E Hole
      how much are those lives in Chicago, New York, Seattle, Minneapolis, Baltimore and other cities from violence worth?

    3. @Yashar’el in Captivity now multiply .04 times 330,000,000, and learn something. That’s 132,000 deaths you’re downplaying . Why are “so-called Christian” Trump cultists such stupid, hateful people. Oh yeah, racism and/ or love of money at the cost of human lives

    4. @Brigid Common Flu has a fatality of 0.1% – accoding to Super Villain Dr. Fauci. Do your calculation now. Why has there not been a Pandemic declared every year over the last 75 years for the flu??? DR ANTHONY FAUCI on LETHALITY OF COVID – MARCH 26, 2020 – NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE…..This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

    1. @Alex Hamilton That is actually provably false. Go look at factchecking sites and it’s clear that republicans get way more pants on fires than democrats.

    2. @Alex Hamilton CMPA found that PolitiFact rated 32 percent of the Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to just 11 percent of the Democratic claims. Along the same lines, PolitiFact rated just 11 percent of the Republican statements as “entirely true,” compared to 22 percent of the Democratic statements. Just 18 percent of the Republican claims were rated as “mostly” or
      entirely true, compared to 54 percent of the Democratic claims.
      Conversely, 52 percent of the Republican statements were rated as mostly
      or entirely false, while just 24 percent of Democratic statements
      received the same designation.

    3. REgarding Alex I’d bet he’s going to https://effectiviology.com/backfire-effect-facts-dont-change-minds/

      now that his sincere belief has been challenged, but i’m not after him. I’m after you. he’s suffering from self deception and my study is probably going to trigger cognitive dissonance and the truth is likely to lose. But That doesn’t have to happen to you. See it and recognize it for what it is.

    1. @Stone Men you are what I mean, a republican is not trustworthy, it ‘s safer to assume that they are biologically incapable of telling the truth and that every word out of their mouth is absolutely objectively and empirically speaking a LIE until evidence emerges it was true.

  7. 79% of Floridians SAY they are in favor of masks, in reality only about 50% wear them, actually we need 95%+ to wear them. Therein lies the rub.
