Florida Gov. DeSantis Says Young People Are Driving Coronavirus Case Surge | MSNBC

    1. Alan aka FANG yep Cuomo dealt with the first wave and got it under control, huge huge job by the way, hence the reason he took it seriously, listened to the science and kept his constituents informed daily, we will see how governors of other states handle things when their states start getting the same number of cases and deaths as New York… that is when not if

    1. @Brady N The fact is the premature opening contributed to the surge. The fact is wearing masks could help contain the spread, yet the governor won’t mandate it.
      The fact is Pinellas county, despite record cases in the state will leave it’s beaches open for July 4th weekend. The fact is the median age of infection 35. The fact is if the local and state officials treated this pandemic as a pandemic they might have been able to flatten the curve.

    2. He is absolutely correct.
      Fla has been open since the first week of may. In other words, you idiots, 6 weeks ago.
      Democrats, vermin spreading disease.
      Since the covid spike is happening now, we can thank disease ridden Democrats for all the protesting and rioting 3 weeks ago.
      Now we can wait and see if Cuomo once again orders the infected patients back to the nursing home, where he killed over 25k old people.
      Stop the slaughter, never vote Dim again.

    3. @Terrell Robinson The premature opening may have contributed, but I’m sure the majority of the new cases are a result of the protests. The Governor is choosing not to be a dictator by allowing their citizens to decide whether or not they should wear a mask (I personally would but whether you want to wear a mask is up to you). Wow how dare people go out and enjoy themselves over 4th of July weekend! How dare people have fun! The fact is people ages 30-39 have a very low chance (around 8%) of getting hospitalized, and even less chance of dying. The fact is the coronavirus hasn’t been as bad as once thought and has turned out to be more like the flu. At some point we need to get back to living our lives, we should be cautious and continue to social distance, yes, but we shouldn’t be going back into lockdown again.

    1. Jeff Haddix you’re right but he’ll fold like wet paper like he always has , he’s campaigning as a moderate but will be surrounded & controlled by progressives that are already in Congress, He’s in no shape to make his own decisions, obviously

    2. Elite bought his own oxygen tanks and ventilators. The rest of you can go and get F with Covid.

    4. de camp two weeks ago they didn’t want to talk more about testing. Now they won’t shut up about it using it as a scapegoat because they think people are stupid.

    1. William H Hey Bill… Maybe I should be talking to your wife… Apparently she has the balls in your family.

    2. ricky jurecki Just think of all the rich males in private military academies showering together.

  1. How many MAGAts does it take to change a light bulb?
    None, Trump just says it’s fixed and they’ll sit in the dark and applaud.🥴

    1. @Luc Préfontaine I wanted you to know I appreciated your variant. — I also wanted you to know I had to look up ‘immolate’. . . . and I’m pretty well-read. ( . . . or maybe I just think I am? 🤔 ) I’m well-read enough to know that well-read is hyphenated. —- Thanks for the dark variant. You knew some of us wanted to hear it.

  2. Geez..wouldn’t it be poetic justice if a putz like Desantis got a lil taste of covid himself. Watch how fast he’d sing a different tune then.

  3. “I asked my people slow down testing please” 45th President, Biden 2020 make America safe and free for all

  4. He is the governor, he can open or close or demand for masks in public, but he rather play the blame game.

    1. @Don pooh Julio yes, but when I do, the stench of you Democrat vermin forces me back to the mouth.
      If only they made a mask that could keep the smell of you and your other cesspool buddies away.

  5. The Democrat who ran for Governor doesn’t look so bad now does he Florida. You got a real winner with this dope.

    1. @Darryl Sherman Absolutely it’s a public health issue not a political issue. What’s scary is how many people don’t wear them because it infringes on their rights and freedoms. It needs to be mandated.

  6. This guy gave his states young people false hope and now he’s turning them into the issue. What a POS
