Florida bans consumption of alcohol at bars as coronavirus cases soar

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Florida regulators banned drinking alcohol at bars statewide as the state reported a record-shattering 8,942 new cases of coronavirus Friday.

“Effective immediately, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation is suspending on premises consumption of alcohol at bars statewide,‘' according to a tweet from Halsey Beshears, secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

The department could not be immediately reached for further details.

The Department of Health reported the new case numbers at nearly the same time that Beshears sent out the tweet. The previous record for a single-day increase of 5,508 cases was reported Wednesday. The agency also reported 33 additional deaths to bring the toll to 3,366.

2. Christ, that represents about 25% of this state's economic activity. Things are getting serious.

3. Then what are you supposed to do at a bar? n/t

13. That's why they sell big ones!

I've seen very few normal sized cocktails to go; they're pretty much all sold in 16oz and 32oz sizes. If you need more than a quart of Negroni, you should probably rethink your drinking habits...

11. the Rump patrol is only going to become more emboldened and violent in their spreading attempts

tens of millions nationwide are fully conditioned via multi-variate scientific repetitive propaganda techniques over the decades to do most anything if they get the command

a million plus would go full shooting war I fear if stimulated into action via a particular sequence(s) of triggering events

QAnon is but one of the tips of the spear

millions literally (and I mean LITERALLY, and not just QAnon) think they are actively fighting supernatural demons

[Initech]

12. Oh yeah, this is going to get very ugly very quickly.

[Brother Buzz]

9. So, like, did The Department of Business and Professional Regulation make an end run....

around Ron DeSantis, using some obscure tiny regulation buried in their manual?

10. Trump just lost FL

15. They're not shutting down bars just alcohol at the bars.
