they put their party over their people. The GOP is likely to lose voters in Florida in more ways than one.

Given that he caught the virus before but I guess it's like you said. Republicans will be Republicans. Just like leopards, they can't change their spots.

by canceling festivals and keeping tourists away to stop the spread. And he was among the first people in Miami to be infected with the virus. This pandemic has impacted his city's economy pretty bad.

But he's blaming the CDC for not providing guidance when they have been doing so this whole time. It's public info available online. WHO has done the same. His state governor failed badly and his president failed badly but he doesn't want to speak out against them because of partisan reasons.

Our rural northern Wisconsin county has a public health department.
WTF?
Sometimes "lower taxes" mean "no vital services" which, maybe, you might want in a freaking deadly pandemic!
