People everywhere are eager to see the end of the coronavirus pandemic. As cases surge, the logical conclusion would be to put your damn masks back on, right? But as usual, some politicians are railing against the most basic of preventative measures despite condemnation from public health officials. On Tuesday, even the former surgeon general who served under Trump said banning mask mandates is "unconscionable."
Last week, Florida once again made headlines when its governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, threatened to withhold the salaries of school officials who defy his ban on mask mandates. During an interview with CBS This Morning, Jerome Adams, who served as surgeon general under former president Donald Trump, was asked how he felt about the governor's actions.
