DeSantis Blasts CDC School Reopening Guidelines calling it a “DISGRACE”

17

Boom. Watch Governor DeSantis blast the CDC and the Democrat Party for its lockdown policies. If President Trump doesn’t run in 2024, then Governor DeSantis is our candidate.

“If you actually follow them [it would require] closing 90% of schools in the United States. We are open, we remain open, and we are not turning back.”

Florida reported the lowest single day China COVID-19 cases in months.

DeSantis Blasts CDC School Reopening Guidelines, as FIU Brings Staff Back to Campus

By NBC, February 6, 2021

On the same day employees of Florida International University were asked to come back to campus, the governor of Florida took aim at the health and safety protocols the university is consulting as the basis for bringing its staff back.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidelines for reopening K-12 schools last week. In Florida, public schools have been open since October, with parents given the option of sending their kids to school or keeping them home for remote learning during this pandemic.

“What the CDC put out, 5:00 on a Friday afternoon — I wonder why they would do it then — was quite frankly a disgrace. It would require, if you actually follow that, closing 90% of schools in the United States. We are open, we remain open, and we are not turning back,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis, without explaining or detailing which part of the guidelines were objectionable.

The superintendents of Miami-Dade and Broward County Public Schools have each announced their support for the CDC guidelines, which are only recommendations.

In a phone call this afternoon, Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said the guidelines are there to make it easier for schools to open, not to shut down schools that are already open. He and Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie have said their district schools are already following almost all of the CDC guidelines.

In a text message exchange Monday afternoon, Runcie said the only recommendation which causes some concern is the six-foot social distancing standard for children. He and Carvalho each agreed that keeping kids that far apart is nearly impossible, which is why their districts use the American Academy of Pediatrics standard of three feet of distance as long as everyone is wearing a mask.

So many things are still shut down or not operating as the “brave” fast-food employees are. Open up! This thing has been an exercise in stupidity on parade! There is a 99.99% you will survive Covid. Nothing should have shut down. In a few weeks we’ll be shutdown for a year. Longest two weeks evah! 🙁

So, according to the CDC and everyone in ‘authority,’ children are the lowest risk demographic. Yet, even in Fl., they are required to wear masks and maintain social distancing in schools? Proof, this has nothing to do with public health.

It’s all about control and getting you used to taking endless vaccines and fearing for your health. They are totalitarian dictators.

Yes, it’s all about a total totalitarian rollout that the commies could not do militarily many decades ago, … komrade.

EXCEPT…

DeSantis is the guy who ALLOWED LOCAL LEFT WING SCHOOL BOARDS to make the decisions!

DeSantis is playing politics here because as governor he COULD HAVE ordered ALL districts to open but instead he allowed EACH ONE to make the decision.

What did he THINK the DemocRAT locales would do?

So while he throws stones with one hand, he approves of the nonsense with the other.

I live in Florida and yes I’ll vote for him, but let’s be honest about just who is responsible for this mess: HE IS!

Shouldn’t it be the local school boards that make the decisions? In our blue state, the Governor makes ALL our decisions for us… I’m more partial to letting local boards make the call and then having the citizenry go after them.

A problem with DeSantis is, he is an awful campaigner. When I saw part of a debate with the freak, I was concerned. His opponent is a fast talker and lies like a rug. Trump helped get DeSantis over the finish line. I am open minded. Who might make a better candidate for 2024 Prez?

Stop with the endless masks and social distancing!
Kids in particular aren’t getting it….
You don’t need a vaccine either or the privacy invasion of tracking you by cell phone etc..

(Whatever happened to) My Body, My Choice,
Feb. 2021 Eagle Forum Report

Survival rate without the vaccine:

“Vaccine passports,” “digital health IDs,” and other such required documentation pose substantial risks to personal privacy and equal treatment before the law for all citizens.

According to the CDC the survival rate for Covid-19 by age group:
0-19 is 99.997%
20-49 it is 99.98%
50-69 it is 99.5%
70+ it is 94.6%.
This also indicates that no vaccine is needed.

Vaccine manufacturer Merck announced January 25, 2021, that it has abandoned the development of two coronavirus vaccines, saying that after extensive research it was concluded that the shots offered less protection than contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies.

Most masks have a pointed warning that it will NOT stop the virus. The virus is in tiny mircons.

I for one, love my masked outings allowed by my governor. I love wearing my mask because, it hides my nose with pores that I can’t seem to shrink; my mask hides my age spots and probably boogers hanging from my nose. I can talk to myself out loud and cuss people and nobody can hear me through the mask, and I can sit in front of the mirror at my beauty shop and not look fat because my mask hides my double chin!!!
So mask wearers, cheer up. Masks can hide your seething rage that we’ve come to this in a country my dad fought for in the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. Once we were told that soldiers died for our right to vote–quaint notion! Our country is now governed by the Mafia with Fredo in the White House. And that detritus is as brutal as QE II across the pond who will never give up the throne to an even less brilliant successor.

I always thought 6 foot distancing was stupid. Forcing on people mostly immune from the virus is idiotic.

The CDC is just as compromised as the FBI and the CIA.
I became aware of this in March 2020 when I received the CDC email instructing me, as a licensed physician, to change the way that the CDC has traditionally instructed doctors to fill out death certificates. It was obvious that the new instructions would result in massive over counting of deaths due to CV19 and undercounting things such as cancer, heart disease, strokes and just about everything else. They clearly wanted to attribute just about every death to CV19 and sadly our POTUS and all elected officials bought into in and to this day the issue has received little or no attention.

Until this wicked manipulation of data is addressed we will never get out of this CV19 mess that has been created by the CDC and fostered by Anthony Fauci.

Let us not forget Dr. Birx’s declaration “I don’t trust anything from the CDC.”

Family and neighbors and friends mocked me for YEARS because I homeschooled my two kids, not for religious reasons but for ethical reasons. American public schools SUCKED thirty years ago and nothing has changed since. My two went to college on scholarships and are now a banker and a radiologist. I live in Arlingrad, VA, that’s Arlington to conservatives, and I have to LAUGH when I come across little signs stuck on medians in my hood bearing the legend: OPEN SCHOOLS NOW! Gee, liberals can’t stand their kids home and underfoot???
Redefining hypocrisy,,,anybody? Anybody?

Perhaps the only good thing about forcing children to wear masks is the lowering of flu cases, or is it the washing of hands or maybe the fact that schools no longer accept symptomatic children to infect their campuses?

But it isn’t the mask wearing, especially as kids fiddle with them constantly, probably reuse them for days on end and don’t understand how to keep them fitted correctly.

The simple answer has always been to not allow symptomatic children at school. But that costs the schools money and the parents free babysitting which is why there have always been mini epidemics of flu and colds at schools across the nation, flu which has killed more children every year for years unlike the CCP corona virus which has killed children at a statistical rate of zero.

I am tired of the government and morons in America telling what I can and cannot do. As far as the disgusting media in this country, I do opposite of what they recommend because they have destroyed our country and do not have our best interest at heart.
