In video captured by a bystander, the man blew past the guy monitoring the entrance and activated the sliding doors. The employee blocked the would-be customer as a voice from behind the camera said, “You’ve gotta wear a mask, bro.” (Twitter)

A mask-less and desperate Florida man tried to fight his way into a Walmart Saturday, the first day that face coverings became mandatory in his county.

In video captured by a bystander, the man blew past the guy monitoring the entrance and activated the sliding doors. The employee blocked the would-be customer as a voice from behind the camera said, “You’ve gotta wear a mask, bro.”

The man body-checked the employee, who held his hands up so as to disengage as he stepped back. Losing his balance, the man tumbled to the floor.

He popped up immediately and barreled past a few other employees, ignoring a fellow shopper’s mask offer, as workers trailed behind, pleading and ordering him to don a face covering.

“He’s just doing his job, bro, just get a mask!” the guy behind the camera said, convulsed with laughter.

The man then made it partway down an aisle, but the workers didn’t quit. By this time some of their own masks had slipped, between scuffling and trying to reason with the man.

In a second clip, the refrain, “He’s just doing his job, man,” resurfaced as the employees continued to try and keep the mask-free man, who someone said was “spitting all over the place,” in check.

“Come on, man,” one employee said. “Look what you did to me.”

Masks became mandatory in Orange County on Saturday, ordered by Mayor Jerry Demings in response to rising case numbers, reported WDBO radio last week.

Epidemiologists and other public health experts have been connecting the dots on mask-wearing for quite some time, after initial uncertainty about whether it would curb infections.

But it is clear that the pandemic is being driven at least in part by people who don’t know they have it and who inadvertently infect others, whether they go on to develop symptoms or not. Wearing masks can cut down drastically on those infections, studies suggest.

Floridians on Monday learned that their state had passed the 100,000 mark on number of infections, with 2,926 new cases reported, bringing the total to 100,217. It was the seventh state to pass that benchmark. At least 3,173 Florida residents have died of COVID-19.

The Walmart video ended before the mask-less man’s fate was revealed. If identified, he may not be subject to any action.

Today in NJ we opened up our salons and one had a line outside of it. They were breaking the law, so I called the health officials.

Due to countries in the EU enforcing mask wearing and limiting the amount of "essential workers" they are recovering much quicker than the US.

Also in Florida

Dumpster is from Florida.

Antonio Sabato Jr lives in Florida.

I guess Florida produces the most nutcase in this world.

Another anti-mask wearer in Florida today. Mel Gibson?

And Disney World decided this weekend was the PERFECT weekend to reopen!! Brilliant!

AND (please correct me if I'm wrong), the governor still is NOT requiring masks to be worn.

15.300 new cases, out of how many people? what´s the population florida? because that number can be a lot or nothing...

[xtaticboy82]

The population is 19 million, probably the fourth most populous state, after Cali, NY and Texas.

Went there summer of last year. Was shocked by the amount of billboards from law firms advertising their legal services for suing. Like this one billboard, there is a happy middle aged woman with her saying "i got 150k from suing thanks to this law firm"

I felt sick looking at those billboards.

For those outside the United States- yes, we are losing our country. Trump broke us. I’ve never seen such willful ignorance on such a wide scale before. I am freaking worried. I’m not worried about winning the election. I think Biden has this. I’m worried a level of ugliness will be around a long, long time.

Don't be so sure about it!

Dumpster has controlled the CDC, hence you see the number of infection is "reducing" significantly and his rating is going up.

He would most likely be re-elected.

Horrible governor!

Florida posts two-day total of 17,344 new COVID-19 cases along with 109 deaths

Fri, November 27, 2020, 3:36 PM EST

The state of Florida reported 17,344 new COVID-19 cases on Friday after combining two days of figures to account for Thanksgiving Day and the day before. The Department of Health also reported 109 new deaths among the state’s residents,

The new cases lifted the state’s total to 979,020, according to a department dashboard. The resident death toll is now 18,363. Five new non-resident deaths were added to a non-resident toll of 233.

The new cases and deaths were announced amid concerns by local officials that the weekend could dramatically add to rising case totals in ensuing weeks as travelers flocked to South Florida airports and shoppers headed for malls in search of holiday deals.

All around the region, many mall and store owners installed their own social distancing, mask requirements and capacity limits to cope with an annual Black Friday discount shopping event that this year took on a decidedly different look. Millions of consumers opted to stay home and buy their holiday gifts online instead of heading for the stores.

Many of those who did venture out wore masks. On Thanksgiving Day, a number of retailers shut their doors. On Friday, some activated curbside pickup plans to minimize checkout lines.

In a Thanksgiving message to City of Fort Lauderdale residents this week, Mayor Dean Trantalis urged citizens to keep their guards up. “I encourage you to continue to take precautions and follow best practices to enjoy a safe and healthy holiday,” he said.

The state did not post any COVID-19 case numbers on Thanksgiving Day, electing to resume its daily reports on Friday.

In five of the last seven days, Florida has reported more than 8,000 new cases — an upward trend that hasn’t happened since early July.

On Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis extended an executive order banning local governments from fining citizens and businesses who breached local rules designed to curb the virus. On Sept. 25, he barred city and county governments from enforcing mask laws or restaurant capacity limits. 

Under the order, local governments cannot collect fines or impose restrictions on businesses without first justifying economic and health reasons.

The curtailing of restrictions is particularly detrimental to South Florida officials, who have called on the governor to relent. The number of COVID-19 cases reported by Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties account for 40% of the total number of cases the state has reported since the pandemic began in March.

Since then, 961,676 Florida residents and non-residents have been infected. The total death toll, including non-residents, stands at 18,482.

Deaths

Statewide: The state’s pandemic data report shows a total of 18,263 Floridians have died from COVID-19. In addition, 233 non-residents have died, bringing the total number of deaths to 18,482.

Florida has the fourth-highest total of COVID-19 deaths among the states, behind New York, Texas and California, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Florida’s death rate since the pandemic began ranks 14th in the nation, tied with South Carolina, at 85 deaths per 100,000 people, the CDC reports. That’s higher than the national rate of 79 deaths per 100,000.

Long-term-care facilities: At least 7,212 residents and staff have died at nursing homes and assisted-living centers throughout Florida as of Wednesday. That’s another 24 deaths since Tuesday.

Miami-Dade County reported the highest number of deaths at long-term-care facilities, with 860. Palm Beach County was second with 752. Broward has reported 466 deaths.

Hospitalizations

As of 3 p.m. Wednesday, 3,723 people were hospitalized in Florida with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19, according to the state Agency for Health Care Administration. That’s a decrease of 57 patients in 24 hours.

In South Florida, Broward County reported 396, up by nine; Palm Beach County had 259, down by 11; and Miami-Dade had the most in the state with 548, an increase of 13.

Hospitalizations hit a peak in late July of about 9,500 patients statewide.

Since the pandemic began, 54,133 residents have been hospitalized for the disease, according to the state health department.

National and global view

U.S.: Nearly 12.9 million people in the United States have been infected with the novel coronavirus and 263,525 have died as of early Friday, according to Johns Hopkins University’s COVID-19 dashboard.

World: More than 61.1 million people have tested positive for COVID-19 and 1.41 million people have died from the disease, Johns Hopkins says. The U.S. has had the most COVID-19 cases and deaths of any country. The U.S. has 4.3% of the world’s population, but 20.83% of the world’s cases and 18.5% of the world’s deaths.

‘You are kidnapping me!’: Anti-mask activist busted in Florida bagel shop

By Joshua Rhett Miller

January 18, 2021 | 4:21pm | Updated

An outspoken anti-mask activist in Florida was arrested for refusing to put on a face covering at a bagel shop — with wild video showing the bizarre bust.

Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, 62, of Boynton Beach, was arrested Thursday at an Einstein Bros. Bagels in Boca Raton, where she allegedly ignored requests from a customer and a deputy to put on a mask, the Palm Beach Post reported.

“You are violating the Constitution,” Falco-DiCorrado told the responding officer, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report. “I am not leaving. That’s discrimination.”

Video of the encounter posted to a “Crazy Karens” Instagram account shows Falco-DiCorrado, clad entirely in leopard print, refusing to cooperate inside the bagel shop, WPEC reported.

“Get your hand off of me!” she yelled at the deputy. “You are kidnapping me! I will personally … what is your name? Take your hands off of me — you don’t have the right, sir! Get your hand off of me, I’ve done nothing wrong, I’m not a criminal.”

Falco-DiCorrado then accused the deputy of violating her constitutional rights as she was dragged outside in front of several other customers, video shows.

“This is so illegal,” she said at one point in the clip. “I’m asking you to take your hand off of me!”

A second deputy then helped escort Falco-DiCorrado outside, where she was cuffed against a squad car — while repeating, “In the name of Jesus!”

She was busted on charges of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, 62, of Boynton Beach, Florida.

The incident reportedly marked the former Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency advisory board member’s second mask-related arrest since the start of the pandemic.

She was also arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest without violence at an anti-mask protest in Lake Worth Beach in May with two other women. She pleaded not guilty in May and has a plea conference hearing set in the case on Feb. 23, according to the newspaper.

Falco-DiCorrado was also featured in a segment that aired in June on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” She was among a group of critics ridiculed by the host for their views on mandatory face masks in Palm Beach County, video shows.

“The CDC said itself they made a mistake,” Falco-DiCorrado said on the clip. “There’s not enough to make this a pandemic — this is a ‘plannedemic.’”

In late 2017, Falco-DiCorrado was forced to resign from the Boynton Beach advisory board for allegations of being a white supremacist and making racist remarks, including telling one city resident to use “better English,” the Palm Beach Post reported.

“You’re lucky we brought you over as slaves, or else you’d be deported, too,” she allegedly told black residents, according to the newspaper.

Falco-DiCorrado was released Friday after posting $2,000 bail. She pleaded not guilty to both charges, court records indicate.

She claimed Saturday she went to the bagel shop to eat with a friend and has a medical and religious exemption from the county’s mask mandate.

“American freedoms are being taken away,” Falco-DiCorrado told the Palm Beach Post. “It’s a sad day when you have people and officers picking on people for just being alive. This is an abuse of humanity.”
