    Default Florida Gov. DeSantis proves the naysayers wrong

    The Guv had it right.
    Trump had it right.
    Birx 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.
    People flocked here in droves to get out of the dark interior of their
    virus-breeding houses and out into the fresh air and sunshine.
    All those "smart college educated" NE lefties couldn't figure that out...it was too simple.

    Governor Ron DeSantis blasts reporters over fearmongering criticism of his state while VP Pence visits
    Posted: May 20, 2020

    Updated: 5:22 PM

    KUSI Newsroom

    ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence visited central Florida to meet with tourism officials Wednesday as the region’s biggest tourist destination — Walt Disney World — began reopening a shopping and entertainment complex.

    During the visit, Vice President Pence and Governor Ron DeSantis answered questions from reporters about the reopening of the state.

    Governor DeSantis didn’t hold back, blasting them for their fearmongering reporting and overall criticism of his state. DeSantis pointed out that Florida has the lowest death rate in the region, and generally lower than anywhere else.

    Gov. Ron DeSantis’s full answer is below:




    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    STATE OF FLORIDA
    OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
    EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 20-123
    (Full Phase I: Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida's Recovery)

    WHEREAS, on March 9, 2020, I issued Executive Order 20-52 declaring a state of
    emergency for the entire State of Florida as a result of COVID-19; and

    WHEREAS, on April 29, 2020, I issued Executive Order 20-112 initiating Phase l
    of the Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida's Recovery; and

    WHEREAS, Executive Order 20-112 did not exhaust the recommendations of the
    proposed Phase 1 included in the White House's Guidelines for Re-Opening America

    Executive Order 20-112, as modified by Executive Order 20-120, is extended as further
    modified by this order below, bringing all Florida counties into Full Phase 1.

    up to fifty (50) percent of their seating capacity, excluding employees. The
    requirement for a minimum of 6 feet between parties is superseded to the extent
    appropriate partitioning is in place. Bar counters are to remain closed to seating, and
    outdoor seating remains available with social distancing. The Department of
    Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) will post and update appropriate
    safety measures on its website.
    B. In-store retail sales establishments may operate up to fifty (50) percent of their

    safety. Requests to re-open must include an endorsement letter from the County Mayor or in
    absence of a county mayor from the City Mayor and County Administrator. This request shall
    identify a future date certain for re-opening and verify that the official has approved a re-open
    plan to ensure patron and staff safety.

    The story is fine. The concusion - "

    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.
