Florida Governor isn’t that good.

Wow... We are in deep trouble in this country. There are tons of food not getting to people and this is what FL can think of? How dishonoring this must feel to Dr's anf Nurses...

One big clown show...

Translation: 'Watch how we try to blame trump for so many businesses being shut down, and also throw in some completely illegitimate fraud accusations while we are at it. Our viewers wont read the article, just the headline.'

But in truth, they did halt production for 2 weeks to allow their team to self-quarantine and prepare to resume operations. Plus you have to admire they own the facility and can run closed set without fans or non-employees. That’s more contained than most essential workspaces

FloridaStupid !

Nonsense!!!very few Florida businesses are closed most are deemed essential

Wuhan took 85 days to open again, Italy and Germany are looking at 70 days before starting to open up. If the Wuhan timeline is applied, it will be June 8, if we use the European idea, then it will be the day after Memorial Day May 26.
