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

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.

The OP is from today, 5/20. How long are all posters supposed to wait before posting a "CURRENT" event?

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.
Appears just like Georgia and Texas, Florida has difficulty providing accurate statistics, any MLB player could break Ted Williams records if they fudged their own batting averages
