WATCH the videos from the two tweets! Fantastic work, Governor DeSantis!
In mid-April, out-of-state media had a spasm because Duval County opened its beaches for recreational use.
Now 17 days later, have the fears of this drive-by smear against Floridians been realized?https://t.co/UcXSUk2xcw

We need to focus on facts and not fear. They said Florida was going to be just like New York or an “Uber Italy” when it came to hospitalizations and fatalities. This was wrong. It’s time to focus on the facts and follow a safe, smart and step-by-step plan for recovery. pic.twitter.com/tCksZJ05a3

Florida Governor DeSantis Debunks Critics of Reopening
By Bongino, May 6, 2020
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, overall one of the most popular governors in the county, has been lambasted by the Left frequently for the way he has handled the virus.
Among the criticisms include allegations that he closed mass gatherings too late, that he closed the state initially (and as of now) on a county by county basis, and that he opened certain beaches sooner than the media apparently wanted. In short, they claimed his actions, or lack thereof, would cause mass death and the overrun of the state’s healthcare system.
But, like everything else the Left says, this proved to be wrong. For some reason, the media seems to be under the false impression that every state is New York (which is ironic, because they won’t give a second of criticism to Andrew Cuomo, even though his state is the hardest hit).
In response to the criticism, DeSantis laid out a presentation comparing the projections with the actual results in under two and a half minutes.
Give it a watch below:

The Governor’s full speech can be found below where he talked about the way the pandemic has been handled by the state, such as ventilator availability, how Florida did much better than full-lockdown places such as New York and Italy, and his “safe, smart, step-by-step” plan for reopening Florida:

They will spit right in your face. So be prepared to deal with that. I’m not even certain how you deal with that just yet. Face shields? Must this get bloody? Maybe it has already.

Seth Rich was shot twice in the back. Was he Arkancided or did the DemoNAZI National Communist party have his contract canceled, with two holes in his back, due to putting the DNC’s information on a USB card?!?!?!

What we’re seeing right now is the tail of a long treasonous snake. The Democrats were traitors at birth, but the short story would start with the election of a Manchurian candidate with a fake birth certificate and fake SSN. The story continues through 8 years of treason designed to set the USA up to die during the next presidency. That required more treason to ensure the election of our assassin. She lost, so the treason of an endless coup coupled with a freak and clown show came next, and that ended with a fake impeachment to distract us from the start of a mass murder by virus scheme to put our assassin the the WH in the next election. To frost that cake, the whole stinking thing involves foreign direction and assistance.

Don’t forget, Fauci stated, in 2017, that the “next administration would face to terrible epidemic”.

Was that a warning, to tip off anyone who was paying attention, about something nefarious that he could see unfolding?
Was that a warning to the Trump administration not to oppose the globalist cabal or they would unleash a bug?
Was that a way to cover his backside because Hillary lost?
If it was supposed to be a “surprise” epidemic, which I’m pretty sure was the word used, then he spoiled the surprise. The question is, why?

This is the heart of the problem, the left which includes the corrupt media see fit to criticize and politicize matters never once giving a nod to the seriousness of the national security threat to us created by China.

I suppose I’m prejudiced, but I suspect DeSantis will serve us as our president some day.

Warmth. Humidity. Year round. It’s a level of awesome like no where else. The air almost forces its way into your lungs oppressively yet delightfully. There is a solid reason this is the go-to place to retire.

Yes, seasons are good. I admit, being cooped up in North Dakota all winter with the heat on full blast is a problem. But being cooped up in Florida all summer with the air conditioning on full blast is also a problem.

Not for long and you will be able to vacation or watch on TV. Pretty when you don’t have to shovel. We escaped from tax and spend Illinois in 2004 and I have never looked back nor shoveled a single snow flake.

Dear Lord! I hope not. He is a rino who stripped citizens of their most basic human rights because the deep state told him to, using a flu virus as an excuse. A flu virus less deadly than the common flu. He threw all our rights away over a ‘health crisis’. That’s what commies do, not loyal servants of a constitutional republic. I will NOT vote for him again, nor will I vote for a democrat. I will pray for a viable third party candidate.
No longer will I vote for the lesser of two evils! That foolishness had brought us to this imminent destruction of our republic, and our country as we knew it.

Congratulations Gov. DeSantis !! Florida should be a model that the nation uses from here on out, as the models touted by the “experts” such as Dr. Fraud-ci and Dr. Birx have proven to be absolutely useless….

There is neat unanimous agreement among medical professionals the CCP Virus affects the elderly and the ill with impaired immune systems. For the rest, the risk is no more than the common flu. Time to reopen 100% and simply protect the vulnerable. Herd immunity will soon allow even the vulnerable to resume normal lives. Nothing more and nothing less is required.

If anything the pandemic has shown the foolishness of the public re political leadership.
He shut down too late, he shut down too early, he should not have shut down at all
He opened too early, he opened too late and made the economy worse.. They will never get it right for some.

Hydroxychlorophine is the answer to stopping ALL LOCKDOWNS and restrictions! The farce behind Dr. Fauci’s anti HC campaign has cost the world trillions upon trillions of dollars, UNNECESSARILY. HC has been prescribed around the world, for DECADES, billions and billions & billions of times, with minimal problems, in spite of the lying campaign against it. A thousand doctors or more have recently touted great success with it against the virus. What we are seeing is a purposefully & masterfully executed “takedown” of US sovereignty, which so far has been successful, since no amount of printing press money can ever repair the irreparable economic damage already done in the US & around the world.

So happy Ron DeSantis is ours. We could have elected the queer Gillum and had a Soros funded idiot like Whitmer in Michigan or a Billionaire tyrant like Pritzker in Illinois.
Watch the fake news try and create a death watch here in Florida with their twisted reporting. I am looking out my window and failing to see the bodies piling up in the street.

Governor DeSantis CREATED Florida’s quivering quislings with his fear mongering rulings, that he blamed on a flu that’s much less deadly than the regular flu. A flu with less deaths than this season’s regular flu. He stripped citizens of their most basic human rights. The inalienable right to provide for their families, to operate their own businesses or educate their children in tax funded government schools which they also own. He placed them on house arrest and denied them access to their own beaches, parks and streets. And he encouraged commie mayors across the state to do the same, using armed jackboots, He has shown the world, and the voters in his home state of Florida, that he is an enemy of the people and a dictator who ignores the Constitution of the United States, and the Florida Constitution, both of which he swore to protect and uphold.

I can only conclude from the facts that walking around on a sunny beach producing a lot of vitamin D is a very healthy thing to do regarding the Wuhan virus specifically and overall health generally.
