How do you feel about Gov. Ron DeSantis' announcement Friday that COVID-19 restrictions across the state will be lifting as Florida enters Phase 3?
DeSantis OKs state moving into Phase 3 of reopening, lifting most limits
www.floridatoday.com
Gov. Ron DeSantis lifts the last restrictions on restaurants and social gatherings.I think it is stupid and many more Floridians will die. You can open all the restaurants and bars to full capacity that you want, People with any sense will still not be spending any money in them. No masks, no gloves, no social distancing, etc. then I am not going there.
How in the world did Florida get stuck with this moron? He certainly can't think for himself and doesn't give a crap about Floridians. When is he opening the Governors Mansion for tours again? His wife needs to welcome Florida's citizens.
He’s got that far off empty stare totally disconnected from reality. He’s definitely looking to be a player in trumps new government take over. It didn’t go well for Mussolini or Qaddify either
I believe he did it so he didn’t have to fix the unemployment system. And maybe wanted a burst in the economy before this and flu season combine for needed closure again. My family won’t be changing what we do that’s for sure
I believe we are being used for a herd "mentality" experiment. Fortunately, it appears most of us, don't want to play. Unfortunately, the elderly in nursing homes have no way to option out. #govrondeathsentence sucks! #notdying4trumpsreelection
It's terrifying! Now, no matter what precautions I take, many science denying tRump cult followers will be acting totally nonchalant about commonsense cautions. I'm also sure some of them are going to be confrontational and mocking those of us who are still acting responsibly. I completely agree with the folks here who are recognizing that we are being used in a herd immunity experiment, especially seniors. Very, VERY disturbing.
He is moron just like Trump!! Kiss your loved ones before the next catastrophic wave hits around Thanksgiving!!!!
I've already seen a couple of local restaurants post that they will stay at 50% and keep wearing masks.. these are the places that will get my business. There are still good folks out there that care about people over profits. Sadly lacking in our current elected officials!
Remember the good old days when there were scientific rules for going from one phase to another? Happy memories...
Not good. We were going to restaurants that were social distancing but I guess not anymore.
When’s the next election so we can vote the Trump bootlicker out?
Bitter, depressed, and endangered.
MORE INTERESTED IN WEALTH THAN HEALTH . DEATHSANTIS .
He is trying to kill my parents,
Big mistake. Florida.....nation's hot spot state.
Irresponsible!
Unsafe
DEATHSANTIS
He’s a moron. Some restauranters are keeping the distancing and that’s the ones I will support.
Trump's puppet. And the new statement concerning a filled Superbowl Stadium harkens right back to Trump knowing at the latest February 7th when he told Bob Woodward that the novel coronavirus was "more deadly than even your strenuous flus...It's deadly stuff" He said he was and would continue to downplay it though and by March24th was publically calling for packed church pews on Easter Sunday~April12th. The diseased fruit falls very near the tree. Bottom line~They don't give a single care for any of us...the nobodys.
Florida is 3rd in the country for covid rates. Lifting all restrictions is short sited and defeats the purpose of helping the economy recover. As more people get sick more will avoid going out and will not patronize full capacity establishments. Also more people will die - clearly not a top issue for Desantis.
It makes no sense to do this as snowbirds return (vulnerable population), well, unless he is trying to kill off all the old folk...

Brevard restaurant owners to continue limiting indoor dining capacity as Phase 3 begins

Restaurant owners expressed mixed thoughts after Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Florida will enter Phase 3 of reopening.Not at Grills, it's a free for all there.
Common sense spotted in Brevard co. ...don’t you wish this guy was Governor instead of baby Trump DeSatan?
I will not go to a restaurant that isn't limiting their seating capacity. I will go out of my way to give my money to those places that still are.
Covid 19 is a hoax. Nothing more than to scare and control population through propaganda. The death count is only another cause of death labeled Coronavirus. This is an inside job to change the world system. Critical care doctors already solved how to treat symptoms. Very easy. Take care of yourself like any other day in your life to strengthen immune system.
Smart
Only reason they're doing this is for Biketober fest.
"Just before sundown Wednesday, a low-key, quiet affair took place outside the Brevard County Jail as a group of a dozen citizens, demanding justice for the 2018 death of Gregory Lloyd Edwards, honored the former combat medic's 40th birthday with a candlelight vigil."

"At a public board meeting, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said he would encourage everyone “never to read” The Washington Post or The New York Times.
Those two storied newspapers — both launched in the 1800s — have won numerous Pulitzer Prizes over the years. But in a new era of 'fake news' during the Trump administration, media outlets have been assailed by critics."

At a public board meeting, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said he would encourage everyone “never to read” The Washington Post or The New York Times. Those two storied newspapers ...In 3rd grade, we took a field trip to the NY Times, then a guy visited our class and told us what goes into publishing it every day. In 6th grade, our Social Studies teacher taught us how to decipher fact from opinion. That's what public education used to be like.
Oh great, the Education Commissioner is endorsing misinformation. Your Republican party (and your tax dollars) at work.
Another Trump tool via ‘Baby Trump’ DeSantis..what’s the matter Richard does the truth hurt?
I seriously can’t with these people anymore.
I hope everyone reading this will subscribe to the NYT and WaPo online. I do.
He's got to go!!
Lisa Revzon Harrington.... THIS is the guy. Makes more sense now. This is why I'm being harassed.

Keep the masses uneducated and only supplied with OUR propoganda as in Faux Nonnews
Nicki Creasy Hensley🤣😭🤬
Come on, it’s Florida. I’m surprised he hasn’t endorsed The National Enquirer.
This kind of promotion of ignorance should be grounds for removing our EDUCATION Commissioner from office.
This from the Education Commissioner? This is a monumental disservice to Floridians
Very disappointed for the lack of leadership in such a critical position as his. Can he read?
Deathsantis and Corcoran should be indicted for negligent homicide.
He should stfu. He can't even keep the schools open.
Goddamn these people
🤦♀️
Don't Educate yourself. You will know what a charlatan I am 😂
Another Trumpster fool
What should we read, asshole? Breitbart?

Seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them.
And yet that day has arrived. https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1301227394511122432
BREAKING: A federal appeals court just ruled that the NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone records was illegal.
This ruling, which confirms what we have always known, is a victory for our privacy rights.
