    1. @TheTruthIsRacist You go and do it. Us sensible people will stay away and keep everyone and ourselves safe. 😀 You trumpet muppet

    2. @Elizabeth notthe queen of course not all seniors vote red. Please do your best to stay safe out there.

    3. @Lord Flick Thank you. Please stay safe and healthy as well. We all are important to someone.

    1. And you take the word of puppets that get paid with no election to give you false news of what their rich employers want them to say? They said mask didn’t work and common flu is much worse. Facts haven’t changed mask always worked. My point is people that point the finger are just as much blame for this from the beginning.

    1. @Turntable Treehouse – I don’t think the Democrats are looking forward to an election. At least they’ll have some time off.

    2. @Eddy Hanson Because Pelosi and the others realized they were wrong weeks ago as the facts began to come out. Besides, they were reacting to unfair attacks on Chinese-Americans. But guess who still hasn’t learned a thing?

    1. Right, i was there in Daytona beach dropping people off from the airport. And the beach was packed…i was shocked

    1. Yeah, it’s all fun and games till somebody gets hurt or killed. The insane have been put in charge of the stupid.

    1. Also keep in mind–DeSantis and Trump are buddies and FL is Trump’s second homestate. Trump wants the economy opened back up by Easter because his resorts down in FL are going to be losing millions of dollars if has the Gov of FL shut down the state. Trump doesn’t want that so of course DeSantis is taking orders from Trump. Trump only cares about MONEY. He’s a businessman. That’s all he’s ever cared about. The economy can get rebuilt but human lives cannot!

    2. @William Bailey New York went from 1 – 83000 in 1 month after closing everything down within two weeks of the first case.. They lost February because there were no tests and that has been catastrophic. Florida has lost two months. For two months they did nothing. That’s criminal.

    3. @tim allfrey de blasio was encouraging people to go out and have a good time as late as march 14th. So your timeline does not add up.

  1. He’s waiting for guidance?? He went to Harvard and Yale!!!!! Maybe he should of gone to Miami Dade Community college instead!

    1. I think DeSantis personally should welcome each and every passenger on those cruise ships. Let’s give them a real Florida welcoming!! We did give it to a bunch of punks!

    2. @Arrozconpollo The one thing I disagree with your post is this:
      Common Sense is a learned behaviour. When you were very young, your Mother told you NOT to Touch..You did anyway. AS we grow older we can make our own Common Sense decisions, mainly by past mistakes of others.
      Every other thing you stated I wholeheartedly agree with!

    1. Your Nanna And we got on it the same day the WHO declared the pandemic. Meanwhile, our neighbours are still arguing over whether or not it is a hoax. And who should take charge. Add in the bidding war between states for supplies…

    1. @Ben Galindo I feel your MAGA is not Trump’s but I’m “Mad” @ him, now, anyway. Make America Grieving Altogether. That’s coming, isn’t?

    2. What are you talking about Economy?? yeah it will take a hit if they close the stores but damage would be a lot smaller if shut it down earlier? It’s better to get wrecked than totaling your car? It’s just plain stupidity Or if he had shares in health care and mortuary business, it will make perfect sense.

  2. Republicans are literally killing off their own voter base. This is what happens when you’re stupid and heartless at the same time.

    1. Jelly Jam who’s complaining about him being a dictator? You do know the government has the power to put people in quarantine during pandemics right?

    2. @Ru2yaz We are a democratic country with strong socialist safety nets. I actually wouldn’t have to call us a socialist country IF the spread of false propaganda was not going on in the US. In order to make sure people cannot pass single payer health care in the US they make the word socialist the bogie man. I’ll take on the label of said bogie man if it makes the idea of health care for all less scary. Then we can go back to being called a democracy, like we are.

    3. That’s good i hope all those Red States get the Coronavirus for not listening and die.I don’t see a down side to it lol

    1. @Paul Sokol fake headline. Have you heard of the florida man joke? When “florida man” is in a headline it’s always about someone doing something stupid and weird.

  3. Florida’s denial, reminds me of not closing the beaches for economic reason in “Jaws.” Money being more important than lives. 🦈

  4. I can’t believe this fool Desantis is playing with fire, why he has to wait for the white house to tell him what to do. What a 😾, look at Cuomo standing and fighting.

    1. @kim hurtubise Sorry, I thought you meant that DeSantis should be President, not Cuomo, so I take that back!

    1. @canadianperspective And lots of sharks in the oceans, just in case anyone tries to get out by swimming…

    2. @John Jordan hahaha. I agree. Especially in times like these no one needs to be worried about a medical bill more expensive than their house!😥

  5. Close off Florida. Don’t let anyone in or out unless they’re tested for the virus.
    But I doubt it’ll happen.

    1. @Dino Dearest BROTHER,A PLEASE DON’T TALK about RIGHTS ,DICTATORSHIP will only curb MORBIDITY and STOP MORTALITY DRASTICALLY ,would you want your NEAR and DEAR to lose LIVES ,Would you be talking ABOUT LIVES when you or I are dying because of lack of VENTILATORS and SHORTAGE OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS like me also DYING yes I speak for POR MEDICAL FRATERNITY ,I am a DOCTOR and also a fellow HUMAN on mother EARTH can’t face to see anymore INNOCENT 6 MONTH OLD die BECAUSE SPRING BREAKERS want to PARTY IN FLORIDA SELFISHLY, PLEASE WE NEED GOOD LEADERSHIP and I mean DICTATORSHIP

    1. Yeah, and remember some were saying it they get it oh well… They gotta die from something.
