Florida to lift all COVID-19 restrictions on restaurants, bars

[BUtterfield 8 41,817]

Florida is lifting all coronavirus restrictions on restaurants and bars effective immediately, with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) saying he is also prohibiting local governments from closing businesses or imposing any restrictions without justification.

"There will not be limitations from the state of Florida," DeSantis said during a press conference Friday. "I think this will be very, very important to the industry. Some of the local [governments] can do reasonable regulations, but you can’t say no after six months and just have people twisting in the wind.”

DeSantis said that if a local government wants to put capacity restrictions between 50 percent and 100 percent, officials will need to show the economic and health justifications for doing so.

Previously, local governments could go further than state-level restrictions, and some counties have kept restaurants and bars closed even after the state allowed them to reopen.

I think they mean health vs economy by that. There is only so much a state/city/country can take with regards to economy and job loss. Does the health risks outweigh the economic risk? Its a difficult one. But yeah they shouldn't be lifting all restrictions, that's nonsensical.

Floridian every morning:

"am I still alive, Where am I I cry"

And in the afternoon

"I'm completely numb, why you're acting dumb"

Then at night:

"Every single day, yeah I dig a grave
Then I sit inside it, wondering if I'll behave"

@PartySick so sorry that you're living there
