A ruling ruled that the order to reopen Florida schools is unconstitutional.
Circuit Judge Charles Dodson on Monday granted a court order prohibiting the implementation of the board of directors of Governor Ron DeSantis and State Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, who would have reopened the schools despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Dodson wrote in his ruling that the Florida Education Association had made the decision that irreparable harm would be caused if schools reopened on a date set by state officials.
Schools “reopen when local decision makers decide” that they do so on the recommendation of medical experts without the risk of state monetary sanctions affecting the decision, he wrote.

Increased sales of pepper spray underscores consumers’ anxiety about the virus and social unrest.
“It’s a sense of unease,” says Kristin Cook, editor-in-chief of the Ben’s Bargains retail site, which saw an increase in demand for pepper spray and solar chargers in early August. “For a while, we felt like everyone had to be over (the pandemic), however, we’re seeing anxiety-type purchases increase because other people realize it will take longer.”

Although the case examined suggests that coronavirus reinfection is possible, experts said more knowledge was needed about whether it was a rarer or non-unusual event. However, this underscores the importance of a vaccine rather than relying on collective immunity through a massive infection.
“Because reinfection can occur, collective immunity through herbal infection is unlikely to eliminate SARSCoV2,” tweeted Akiko Iwasaki, professor of immunobiology at Yale University. “The only and effective way to achieve collective immunity is vaccination.”
Iaki also says that if humans did not have enough antibodies to prevent reinfection, other elements of his immune formula could protect themselves by opposing the disease because he was asymptomatic.
