So what now, you're supposed to tell the mother who needs to deliver her baby, to put a hold on it? WTH
HolyCrossFL how about turning away those who are unvaccinated instead of putting laboring mothers and newborns at risk?!
They should just turn away unvaccinated patients. Don’t put laboring mothers and babies at risk. GovRonDeSantis should care more about his residents.
Hope you are excited about Beijing like I am.
Good job Guv OmicRon DeSantis
