As Florida posts the biggest surge of coronavirus cases in the country, Walt Disney World in Orlando opened to the public for the first time in four months and anti-mask activists held a rally at a nearby restaurant.

Health officials have pleaded with the public to wear masks to limit the spread of the virus, but the issue has become politically divisive in the United States unlike many other countries that have seen far lower rates of infection and death. Anti-mask activists organized a protest on Saturday at a grilled cheese restaurant and bar in Windermere, Florida, which is in Orange County about 12 miles from Walt Disney World.

Nobody is forced to go to Disney but the parks reopening is reckless

My neighbour just asked he is 78 they have guns and those taser things. I am surprised people haven't tazerd non mask wearers.

Mental people

This article is scary on do many fronts... New record, Disney reopens, antimask activists... And not least of all the Ed Sec saying they have no plan or funding but school must reopen. Almost surreal.

Smart

What sane person would even spend one second visiting World Disney World right now? Plus universal has been reopened a month now!

Maybe everyone in Florida has a breathing problem satire parody

Let the morons protest, just don't let them into your place of business. I remember when cerebral challenged DeSantis went with baby powder Pence to a restaurant & ordered burgers. Yup leading by stupidity is a common theme with these 2 inept clowns. 47 I Q total between these 2

okay but 'anti-mask ACTIVISTS'!!!?!!? yeah, that's not it we're not making that a thing I mean Dictionarycom phone a friend

COVIDIDIOTS

Amti-mask activists have got to be the most stupid selfish people in the world.

It's very frustrating when I have to lock myself home for 4 straight months and withstand redicule from my family while trying to protect them, then see this level of careless stupidity around the world.

jayoung1892 'Anti-Mask Activists' their Spanish Flu forefathers are shaking their heads. Sounds like a group who are also anti-vaccine and think pet rocks are alive, or have rocks in their heads.

Total deaths by state (source Worldometers): NY: 32,343 (population 19.45M) NJ: 15,522 (8.9M) MA: 8,268 (6.9M) CT: 4,348 (3.5M) TX: 3,046 (29M) FL: 4,009 (21.5M) AZ: 2,038 (7.3M)

Just wear the mask to protect the rest of us. I wear mine to protect you

That is why we will never eradicate COVID-19 while we continue refusing to accept the reality that this is a deadly virus. The arrogant sociopath induce a cultural war refusing to wear a mask sending the wrong message to The Church of Trumpism where he is idolize as a 'god'.

Ronda524 What could possibly go wrong?

Disney opened, they did not twist your arm to go.

TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

makes one wonder about the intelligence of Florida residents. Many anti maskers,15,300 new cases in one day. Stupid choices, stupid results. No one to blame except themselves.

Anti- mask activists? Really? Do you seriously have nothing better to worry about?

Which Florida testing stations reported these numbers? In New York, people are told that test results take 5 days, unless you are rich and can pay for the speedy test. How many people were tested, in total, or what percentage of the total tested, proved positive?

It’s karaoke night at Mugs n Jugs swfl mask free 9-1🍺 🎤 AntiMaskerProblems MAGA2020

Us always handle all kinds of pandemic so well IN THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES! Reality, there are too many morons. Anti-mask activists? What kind of activists? Anti-life activists you mean? All countries handle covid-19 with lockdown and mask. US handle with mass protests and no mask.

At least the facial recognition software will have no trouble tracking down the protestors.

Disney for the kids

This is criminal inhuman behavior on behalf of the GOP. Many more will die and financial ruin will continue because of RonDeSantisFL and realDonaldTrump. Lies, misinformation and inaction. We need them to be accountable now, not after tens of thousands more die.

'anti-mask activists'...can't make that up. Some people really need to find healthier hobbies.

Fl vs NY

There is a famine of common sense in this world.

Florida Stand your Ground applies if some lame comes within 6ft with no mask on. sigsauer sixfeetunder slideracked

“Everyone is responsible for their own health care decisions ... We want our choices respected as well.' YOU not wearing a mask is infringing on MY freedom of wanting to be healthy! You don’t want to wear it, STAY the Hell home! WearADamnMask

ANTI MASK ACTIVISTS?!?! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING STUPID

Did anyone tell them Dear Leader is wearing a mask now so his flock can wear one too?

Why are people so stupid? 😳
