The Guv had it right.

Fake media and left got it wrong. All those predictions of gloom and doom for Florida seniors, especially in
The Villages.....no epidemic there. Our Guv put seniors first to protect them as opposed to NY where they
were offered up to be sacrificed. Now Mario 'Mengele' Cuomo blames the CDC guidelines.

The story is fine. The concusion - "
The Guv had it right.
Trump had it right.
Birx had it right.
Fake media and left got it wrong. "

Not so much yet. Especially since it's also being reported that FL is spiking today.

I like optimism, but Trump has me worn out from wishful-thinking politics. There are realities w/ this virus that too many continue to ignore. I'm 100% in on reopening, but we ALL have to realize that it's a trade off, and not a simple decision. Reopening faster means more die. That has to happen, but let's not pretend that's simple.

Florida Gov. DeSantis proves the naysayers wrong

DeSantis administration fires COVID-19 data guru for ‘insubordination’ , which means that the covid-19 numbers coming out of Florida are rather questionable.

So, shut down the country from October > March every year in the future and have people die THAT way if you prefer.
There will still be people dying due to flu anyway, but you'll get the thousands more as a bonus from cancelled medical
procedures, depression, stress, drugs, abuse in the home they're locked up in, etc.
