3. Either a 'sane' AND judicially-qualified judge-- or one that doesn't want thousands of deaths on

his/her head. Either way. GOOD.

5. Appeals court sides with CDC, Norwegian Cruise Lines over DeSantis on vaccination rules

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 guidelines for cruise lines returning to operation are rules, not suggestions, a federal appeals court ruled Saturday night, reversing a lower court decision in favor of the state of Florida.

The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals judges was a win for the CDC and, by extension, Norwegian Cruise Lines, which filed an amicus brief in this case.

In a separate federal case, NCL has sued Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees for the right to require all passengers be vaccinated against COVID-19 once it restarts its Florida cruises Aug. 15.

Taking a loss — for now — is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis sued the CDC in April, and, exactly a month ago, U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday granted a preliminary injunction that would’ve turned the CDC’s regulations into suggestions on Sunday.

6. I Said All Along

that no insurance carrier would cover the cruise lines under the DeSantis rules.

As they used to say on Seinfeld, 'We're living in a society here!'.

7. 'The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 guidelines

for cruise lines returning to operation are rules, not suggestions, a federal appeals court ruled Saturday night, reversing a lower court decision in favor of the state of Florida. . .

“The CDC protocols at issue here require conventional communicable disease control measures on cruise ships traveling internationally, which is an area of traditional federal jurisdiction,” the U.S. Department of Justice stated in a letter filed Thursday to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.'

9. Ron DeathSentence doesn't give a F*** about people's health

And now, Florida has the highest increase in infections, hospitalizations and deaths in the country.

Florida has accounted for one in five new coronavirus cases in the U.S. over the past week, White House officials said Friday.

CDC data shows new cases rising almost daily in Florida.

On Friday, Florida released its weekly COVID-19 report. From July 9 to July 15, Florida reported 45,604 new cases of COVID. It's an 11.5% positivity rate, a 92.4% increase from the previous week.

The state also reported 59 new deaths.

And DeathSentence's PAC is selling t-shirts and coozies with messages that attack Dr. Fauci.

Now White House medical adviser Anthony S. Fauci — a polarizing figure in the U.S. response to the coronavirus — is also part of a rising GOP star’s political branding.

“Don’t Fauci My Florida,” read drink koozies and T-shirts that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s preliminary campaign team rolled out just as his state sees some of the highest coronavirus hospitalizations, new infections and deaths per capita in the country. It’s the latest example of Republicans running on their opposition to virus-fueled shutdowns and mask mandates. A pandemic hero to some and villain to others, Fauci has become a high-profile target.

11. I'm surprised DeSantis is allowing Covid data to be collected and released.

In fact, I'm surprised he hasn't tried to shut down testing.

10. If Florida was a country it would be #4 in daily new cases

[LisaL]

15. Give it time, they might be #1 soon.

12. Interstate commerce

if goods and/or services and/or even people, cross state lines, then they are under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

14. Providing only a link is not appropriate.

16. Is there an interim step, before Death Sentence could appeal to SCOTUS?

Does he appeal their decision to them first? I don't think he'll stop, too determined to make Biden look bad by infecting/killing us. I also don't trust SCOTUS with this, but hope they don't want that stink on their hands. It's our only hope of cruising out of our state again for a long time.
