AG Commissioner Nikki Fried (Dem) asks DeSantis to issue stay-at-home order for FL
https://www.wesh.com/article/fried-asks-desantis-to-issue-stay-at-home-order-for-florida/31829605 Florida's Agriculture Commissioner is asking Gov. Ron DeSantis to implement a stay-at-home order in response to the increase of COVID-19 cases in the state.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried asked DeSantis to think about implementing the order that falls in line with decisions that California, New York and Illinois have already made.
"Shutting down one of the nation's largest states is a decision that will have an economic impact – but it is a decision that will save lives," Fried said.
Fried said that Florida, the nation's third-most populous state, is a week behind California's increase in COVID-19 cases.

Love that she’s stepping up but this needs to be every state
We’re on our own. It’s up to all governors to collaborate to Shelter-in-Place simultaneously & for weeks

"There's a quote that I keep hearing...that this is a crisis that's going to be locally managed, state run & federally supported," Scarborough said.
