Miami Dade mask ordinance is about suppressing freedom of expression

On June 29th Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez signed an amendment to a previously issued order about controlling residents of and visitors to Miami-Dade County, all while the feckless, lazy Florida media outlets regurgitate talking points about supposed "health" benefits instead of actually reading the order, analyzing the implications and reporting accordingly.

Of course, the insufferable Florida media would never do that.

Described as necessary to "limit the spread of COVID-19, to preserve hospital capacity and prevent unnecessary loss of life and health" the language of one "whereas" clause reveals the entire principle upon which Gimenez' has based his kingly edict.

"WHEREAS, COVID-19 is transmitted by infected person expelling respiratory droplets containing virus particles when they...or RAISE THEIR VOICE, which are then ingested or inhaled by persons around them."

Is that true? Is COVID-19 transmitted by infected persons when they raise the level of their voice ??? to SPEAK? What if you're not sick? 

Put another way, this order was written to be subject to misinterpretation.

Here's my interpretation--the order was written to tell everyone---sick or not--- to cover their smiles, hide their facial expressions and be quiet. All while the lazy, detestable Florida media tell us to shut up and follow the rules. Rules they say are "good" for us and support changing on a never-ending basis to divide us and pit neighbor against neighbor as we debate and discuss it.

How about we demand government officials like Gimenez follow rules that were ratified over 230 years and guarantee an individuals freedom of expression?

We suggest Miami Dade County Mayor Gimenez follow THOSE rules.
