Our governor announced as of today bars and restaurants are to be fully opened and cities or counties can no longer fine people for not wearing a mask.

Business is obviously much more important than people's health in the middle of a pandemic in flori-duh. How long until we see another spike? How many people have to die each day so businesses can have their restrictions lifted until it is considered a bad idea?

How many have to die before the People of Florida realize they have an Idiot as their governor and recall him and put someone with at least two brain cells to rub together in charge of their safety.
I believe the actions by some governors is criminal and should be pursued when the dust settles,

great. now a lot more people get to die because of cultist morons. Florida is full of elderly people, who are the most susceptible population. this is dumber than using a bucket of oily rags as an ashtray.

I understand people's reactions but what level of cases is acceptable for reopening Florida? Are people wanting establishments to remain closed until things are at 0%?

Florida has done a stellar job with the pandemic. Compare the results to, say, New York which has a similar population.

Why are you picking nits?

common sense says lock downs were a failure.
people need to work and pay bills businesses need people to stay open.

government doesn't create prosperity.

yep and then elderly people need to take the proper precautions.

Citizens of Florida should be banned from all states.

No national plan and lack of testing was the main issue.

Why did the people elect DeSantis? It seems to be a bad decision. I hope he is not re-elected

Three weeks.

With all the seniors down there, this is unconscionable.
I would be concerned if my grandparents lived there. Even worse, I don’t know what I would if my grandparents live in Florida and believed Trump and DeSantis.

It will continue to ramp up until Nov 4.. then it will feel very slow with flu shots but really it will be a quick transition back to norm by Turkey day.
Weeks later, folks will ask what happened to Covid? Must have been the vaccine...

New York is no longer a hot spot. Florida is. The surge isn't over yet in Florida.

we tried to ban the people from ny that brought it here it was deemed unconstitutional and it is.

the constitution gives express consent of free travel.

Almost seven hundred thousand confirmed cases and almost fourteen thousand deaths in florida and you call that nitpicking. I'm certainly glad you are not one of my relatives. Stellar job. I would hate to see what a bad job looks like.

How do you liberal socialists think healthcare cost are paid for without money? In other words, no economy, no taxes, no taxes, no free stuff for you socialists.

It may still present some health risks to open up, but clearly after so many months of shut down, "the cure is worse than cold". Plus, all the destruction from "peaceful protests" your side has encouraged all summer long hasn't helped local economies already struggling from covid. You want to be upset about something, be upset about that.

We have a ton of people here living in gated communities who are scared shitless about everything. And it's a retiree state and many want to protect the money they have so they vote republican. When the R's talk money it's always in the form of lower taxes and of course folks with money like hearing that stuff.
