With 79% of Floridians thinking that masks are required, and about 60% oppose the reopening of schools there, with similar amounts on disapproving of both Desantis' and Trump's coronavirus handling. Also significant there, Floridians overall support removing confederate statues, renaming military bases, and see the confederate flag as a symbol of racism, so digging in his heels on those culture war issues may not be a way back to support in Florida.

Do you think that the GOP has some epidemiological studies done that if you allow rampant spread of Covid now that you could get to herd immunity By mid October and show that you solved the problems. People would ignore the human cost and look at how much better they are now doing than the Blue states.
With 18 million in Florida say 75% needed for immunity and about 70 days to push through the population would mean you would need to infect 200k at day to reach herd immunity in time for it to impact the election.
