1loriking Thank DeSantis.... thank Rubio.......thank Scott! They should be in Grim Reaper dress!! If DeSantis was as serious about COVID as he was about having Police shove guns in the faces of citizens, in front of children, to protect himself from criticism....

He is not perfect but it would be a good idea to take a lesson from NYGovCuomo. You guys have thoroughly squandered a very good approach you took this Spring.
