Sounds like a trip to Destin is in order. I hope Tennessee is taking notice there Gov Lee.
-----------------

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.”

Who is DeSantis to tell me what I can and can't do with my business? God? You seem fine with a governor who recommends opening the state completely but oppose a governor who wants to impose a mask mandate. Oh my rights.

He is lifting restrictions, but that does not mean that as a business you cannot continue to impose them by limiting the number of people in your establishment at one time, or only allowing people to sit in every other booth, etc. It would be bad for your own business economically, but you could still legally do it.

Are you okay with Florida opening bars?

And why would you want that if there's a pandemic going on?
I support the Governors decision. My personal view though is contracting Covid falls under the Acceptable Risk category.

Excellent; you just guaranteed another surge in infections and death rates. Smart move Vy, real smart. You should run for Governor.


Snake, I would worry about your case increase over in your country than Florida?

Justification? The bad new case and new death virus experience of the entire state is justification to restrict bars and restaurants. There's no health justification to reopen.

Someone has to be first 👍

and all have the opportunity to make it less severe and hurt their communities, state and our country less.

but they're too selfish.
