DeSantis vows no lockdowns or mandates in Florida as omicron variant hits the state

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that he would not allow ‘Fauci-ism' to be imposed on Florida residents as he vowed no restrictions or mandates as officials identified a "presumptive case" of the omicron variant in the Sunshine State.

"In Florida, we won't let them lock ya down, we won't let them restrict you, we're not gonna let them impose mandates, we're not gonna let them close the schools," said DeSantis following a speech at a park in Oldsmar, located just west of Tampa.

We are gonna protect your freedom to make your decisions," he said, noting that if residents in the state feel they need to lockdown "that is absolutely their decision in a free society."

"You don't impose Fauci-ism on the whole country or on a whole state. It's wrong" DeSantis added, touting Florida's low number of coronavirus cases.

A Florida department of health official said Tuesday that the state had discovered a "presumptive case" of the omicron strain.............

All indications are that omicron is turning COVID into a fifth common-cold-producing coronavirus (there were four, plus about 20 adenoviruses), and by all indications, I mean, the lack of any cases of serious disease, the symptoms observed in known omicron variant cases, and the biochemistry with a lot of the adaptive features distinguishing it from earlier identified variants being shared with common-cold-causing coronaviruses, but not earlier variants.

I have read similar assessments of omicron. Delta is weaker than the original strain of COVID and Omicron is weaker than Delta.  It has been reported by some that the variants seem to be weakening.
