DeSantis promises 2 keep Florida open despite recent coronavirus case surge

[BUtterfield 8 41,818]

Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis this week said he has no plans of imposing new coronavirus restrictions despite a recent surge of coronavirus cases there. 

"The Governor will not lock down and hurt families who can't afford to shelter in place for 6 weeks," DeSantis's office said in a statement to local media."Especially not for a virus that has a 99.8% survival rate. One area of concern is Assisted Living Facilities."

Florida reported more than 10,000 cases in one day over the weekend, CBS12 in West Palm Beach reported, a spike the Republican's office attributed to an irregular amount of testing being reported to local health officials. 

"Today we are back down to 4,500 [cases] and a 7.3% positivity rate," a spokesperson said. "We believe yesterday's high number was due to a large submission file and skewed the numbers for that day."

I just love being a Floridian

Florida Democrats need to organize better 'cause we need to go for Rubio, DeSantis, and Scott HARD. Enough of the reckless disregard for our safety, the active harm done to our wetlands and surrounding waters, and just their general stupidity.

This doesn't shock me. Let's just see who survives, I guess is their strategy?

Florida is going to kill themselves and we didn’t need a hurricane or the rising sea levels to do that for us

Honestly... from an outside observer’s perspective, I’m still surprised that the DNC has not dissolved the Florida Dems and replaced them.  I wonder if they will now it’s been proven we can win without Florida.

Now, I realize that I’m saying this as a PA Dem, and our party just got butchered in the state legislature, so please don’t take this as too harsh a critique.  But like... the Florida Dems have been a mess for decades.

He really wanted his own state burn, huh? When pandemic over how many Floridians will left? Over it.

So we do agree Florida needs to die

This country won't recover from the virus for years, even with vaccination. All because of people like this, and people who can't wear a damn mask without screaming about their ****ing rights.

The next hurricane that hits Florida we are just going to all pretend to not see it.
