He'll overrule the mayor and tell everyone to go back to having a good time. Whitewash the numbers, and hey presto! Florida is leading the nation in stopping the spread. Nobody in Florida is going to call him out. The media won't do it, either; they're too focused on Cuomo in New York.

In a couple of years, once he's safely ensconced in the Senate, some of this horror will come out, but by then it'll be too late, and we'll be consumed with the inexplicable way the ocean keeps submerging half the state every 12 hours or so.
