BREAKING: @GovRonDeSantis says he's issuing a statewide stay at home order to help prevent the spread of the #coronavirus. Says he decided on it after President Trump extended the federal stay at home order for 30 days.

Many counties have already been but hopefully this keeps people home even more even in those counties.


EDIT: FULL EXECUTIVE ORDER

1. UH, the ship done sailed, dude

[rockfordfile]

2. That pos is nothing but a trump stooge

[Coleman]

6. I heartily disagree, DeSantis is not a Trump stooge

He is a Scott stooge who happens to be a Trump stooge.

[Brainfodder]

9. ...and my dad lives there.

His retirement whatever has been in lock-down a month, thank goodness.

He's 80+ and in the best hands his $ can buy, and it's right across the street from a big hospital, a plus or minus, not 100% sure?



Thanks for the chuckle, I need them!

[Roland99]

21. He had actually been not as complete an asshat as I'd expected

but he royally f'ed up on this!

[FM123]

3. Finally!

Did he just say this is "really nasty"?
Borrowing words now from his dear leader...

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Spring Break Over

Parks closed.
The $ has been made for March.
April is probably a slower tourism month and he's figuring less economic impact.
It's really the only logical explanation why he's so far behind other big states.

[redstatebluegirl]

27. He is fine after sending 1000's of young people back home to all 50 states to infect their families.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. He Doesn't Care

His PAC stuffers in the tourism industry got their spring break money.
He doesn't care about people! Only people with big money.

[Roland99]

4. Nothing from him re: shutting down airports or travel into the state

"we have to get a handle on that"

Referring to people flying in from up north or from Brazil who aren't self-isolating.

[Sherman A1]

5. Just a tad slow

on the uptake there Ron.......

[at140]

7. About time, mr governor!

and what are you going to do about that cruise ship with 4 already dead from corona virus?

[jimfields33]

18. We're shutting down the state and you want to bring in sick passengers

That makes zero sense.

[at140]

23. Could not agree more...

Because there are 350 US citizens on the ship, if they are allowed to disembark in Florida, they must be under strictly controlled quarantine for 14 days in a secured hotel. The worst thing to do will be to release them freely and immediately.

[jimfields33]

24. That would be a disaster!

I’m wondering about those shaking their finger at Florida are the ones that live In Wyoming. Lol.

[superpatriotman]

8. Killing us to please dear leader

And the Chamber of Commerce.

Once more the gop worships at the altar of the market while the people die.

[malaise]

10. Nothing like a law suit

Fuck this tool

[Roland99]

15. ONE HOUR before the call with the judge

@DWUhlfelderLaw
The Governor of Florida shutdown the state of Florida an hour before our first call with the judge. It is clear our lawsuit was successful. We are still waiting to read the final order to ensure the state, including the beaches, is actually shutting down in full. We are going to

[malaise]

16. Yep

Go Danny!

[uponit7771]

19. +1

[Ilsa]

11. I guess trump finally called him and told him it was okay to shut down. nt

[RockRaven]

12. TOO LATE. Thousands of unnecessary deaths will be on your hands. Maybe tens of thousands

nationally when you count the after-effects of not shutting down spring break tourism in that state.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Time, it moves so fast. When did Trump extend the federal stay at home order?

Was that yesterday? Or two days ago?

[soryang]

14. not posted yet on FL DOH website or twitter

what are the details of the order?

[Roland99]

17. much the same as DHS recommendations other states have followed.

he mentioned incorporating some things from Miami-Dade, too.

[Hortensis]

20. Good. On behalf of all the people still alive in Florida

(yes, we're not all dead yet), I invite those whose only reaction is to spit at Trump and his doppelganger DeSantis and say thinkgs like "too late" to rethink and connect with your own ability to care.

We need this. It is a positive step. It is not too late for by far most of us. Not all of us are retired people who've been able to shelter and social distance for weeks. Far larger numbers have had to go to work when they should be at home.

(Btw, those spring breakers brought illness TO Florida from around the nation, spread it not just themselves but around Florida communities, and then returned home.)

[jimfields33]

25. +1,000,000

[mcar]

26. About damn time

I fear it's too little, too late.

[Roland99]

28. FULL EXECUTIVE ORDER

29. Religious services are considered essential! WTF???

Section 3. Essential Activities
A. For purposes of this Order and the conduct it limits, "essential activities" means
and encompasses the following:
1. Attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses
of worship; and

[Fla Dem]

32. I hope all those rw religious zealots go to their places of worship and hug each other.

Ridiculous that he exempted churches.

[struggle4progress]

30. Remember! The "operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers,importers,

distributors, and shooting ranges" are essential activities! If COVID-19 doesn't kill enough people, we'll need a back-up plan!

[Windy City Charlie]

31. One thing this virus has done

One of the things this virus has done is expose those who don't know how govern, including Trump. Quite a few them have no idea of how to handle this crisis.
