Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dragged his feet on issuing a stay-at-home order for the state.
Update: Gov. Ron DeSantis finally conceded to health experts and issued a statewide stay-at-home order on Wednesday afternoon.
As the number of new coronavirus cases in the United States continues to grow by the day, at least 30 governors across the nation have instituted stay-at-home orders to slow the pandemic.
But Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly failed to take this step to protect his constituents from COVID-19, making Florida the most impacted state not to have such an order.
For many students, spring break came as public health officials were urging social distancing measures. Despite numerous calls to shut down Florida's beaches, DeSantis refused to do so.
Instead, he left the decision up to local governments while urging people to obey social distancing guidelines.

(23,156 posts)Our Repug mayor in Jax. today announced that effective Friday, no gatherings are allowed and people are not allowed to visit any others in the hospital or nursing home and all non-essential businesses will be closed. However, he is still being overly generous with the definition of "essential services". Don't think "warehouse type stores" should be considered essential - think that's the shadow of Walmutt and is ridiculous. I can see there are needed things there, but why not have them delivered or have curbside service available?
Oh, yeah, DeSantis is definitely a trumpist idiot & ass.
