TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted all restrictions on restaurants and other businesses in Florida on Friday in a move to reopen the state’s economy despite the spread of the coronavirus.

“We’re not closing anything going forward,” DeSantis said, while insisting that the state is prepared with plans in place if infections increase again.

The Republican governor’s move is sure to stoke debate in a politically crucial state, where the pandemic has become intertwined with the upcoming presidential election. DeSantis is a major ally of President Donald Trump.

DeSantis took the action even as he acknowledged that the pandemic was far from over.

Florida has long been a COVID-19 hotspot, with nearly 700,000 people infected by the virus since the pandemic began in March. Nearly 14,000 Floridians have died.
=====================================================
FL will become the country's new epicenter within a short time interval.

Their Governor is a complete Idiot and when dust settles he needs to face criminal charges. I cannot even imagen how many more are going to die because of this move and not only in Florida.

You have some hard on for Florida. The reality is even with our state being mostly open numbers continue to drop and remain lower than other states with lock downs.



Lockdowns are not a solution to this. Partisan politics are not a solution.

Partisan politics are EXACTLY what DeSatan and the rest of his pro-death ilk are playing right now.
