Hospitals Fill Up in Florida & Louisiana with Unvaccinated Patients
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida Republican Governor Ron De Santis is rejecting calls to impose a
mask mandate as the state set a new record with over 11,500 hospitalized
COVID patients. Doctors say 95% of the patients are unvaccinated.
Louisiana has reinstated an indoor mask mandate as its hospitals also
struggle to treat a record number of COVID patients.
