    Default DeSantis Announces the Immediate End to COVID Restrictions in Florida

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made a huge announcement on Friday, effectively ending limitations on businesses put in place because of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

    DeSantis said that the state would enter Phase Three effective immediately, meaning that all businesses are free to operate at the level they are comfortable with.
    Any local government in Florida that wants to remain at a greater restriction would need to provide proof and a statement of financial impact. Even with those provisions, no local government is allowed to mandate businesses to operate at less than 50 percent.

    Florida will be the first state in the union to allow bars and restaurants to open and operate without restriction in six months.

    Although Gov. DeSantis has been under constant scrutiny by Democrat leaders and left-wing media outlets, the caseload and mortality rate in Florida has been steadily declining since July. DeSantis has said from the start that he would listen to science while always keeping the livelihood and well-being of Floridians as a top priority. He has been praised by President Trump, who was campaigning in Florida on Friday, for his bold leadership throughout the pandemic.

    We will NEVER do any of these lockdowns again," Gov. DeSantis said during a Tuesday press conference. Reporters had asked about the possibility that the state could see an uptick in COVID-19 cases during the fall and winter.

    DeSantis left no room for doubt that Floridians under his watch would not be subjected to another financially devastating lockdown. Further, DeSantis said, prolonged lockdowns cause more harm to the health of the people they're meant to protect.

    "And I hear people say they'll shut down the country and honestly I cringe," he said.

    "At best, what a lockdown will do is delay," DeSantis said, pointing to the devasting disease crisis in Peru. The South American country had the strictest lockdowns in the world, preventing citizens from even leaving their homes, only to ultimately suffer from one of the highest mortality rates on the globe.

    10,000 cases today in the state of Florida. It's about to take off here again, and DeSantis will do absolutely nothing to protect the citizens of his state.

    Sure the Florida first responders and health care workers are just overjoyed with the decision

    I admit it wouldn’t be acceptable, but when the vaccine does come out it should be distributed proportionally according to States that worked to address the spread of the virus and those that lacked the courage to do so

    Don't go to Florida if you're a scared little pussy. Protect yourself instead of being a weakling and expecting someone else to do it for you.

    Don't like the decision, don't go to Florida. It's that simple. Stay in Boston with your fellow n-loving faggot buddy NiftyNiblick.

    What business is going to hold a fucking convention there, anyway?

    Does anyone in their right mind think the tourism is going to suddenly surge with the country facing 3,000 deaths a day?

    Anatta is a fucking idiot. And so is Florida’s governor.

    Not, had no plans to, been there a number of times, other than St Augustine, Key West, and Gulfstream Park, nothing worth noting; flat, humid, boulevards, strip malls, chain stores, and big bugs

    And you got me in NYC and now Boston, both wrong, but I have lived in both during my lifetime, strongly recommend either, well, unless you want to live a life of mediocrity

    How do those 10,000 cases segregate with respect to the number of clinical infections vs the number of asymptomatic cases [many of which are going to be false positives]?

    Ron is the GOAT! Daaaaaayum, we have the best, most sensible patriotic guv in the country.
    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.

    He has 2024 potential.

    On COVID he just doesn’t ‘follow the science’—DeSantis follows *everything*, from the economy, to everything thing that is effected by the economy.

    A healthy economy produces a healthier society with less in the way of alcoholism, drug abuse, spouse abuse, child abuse, suicide, delayed healthcare and screenings. Many K-12 school kids are looking at a lost year due to misguided policy. DeSantis should be congratulated for recognizing the damage done to society by lockdowns.

    Too many governors take a ‘COVID only’ approach to it. They fail to recognize the damage done to society by implementing guidelines that may or may not even accomplish what they are intended to.
