Florida's bars can reopen starting Monday

Jeeze, that's just great.


Florida’s bars can reopen starting Monday
By Lisa J. Huriash, Juan Ortega and Brooke Baitinger


Florida’s bars can reopen at 50% capacity across the state starting Monday, and restrictions on restaurants could be eased soon.

The announcement Thursday evening came from Halsey Beshears, head of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, hours after Gov. Ron DeSantis had said a decision about bars was coming “very soon” and he preferred that every business be up and running.

Regarding restaurants, DeSantis said: "We understand the remaining obstacles and we’re going to tackle those. This is the remaining piece. This state of emergency cannot last forever.”

The state shut down bars in late June as the number of COVID-19 cases marched upward, and bars remained closed as restaurants returned to restricted business.

He's suppressing the number of Covid infections from schools reopening, so now he thinks he can open the spicket up full force and get FL back in the news and make his mentors - drumpf/PUtin happy that FL is producing lots of chaos again.
