Cuomo is doing his daily report...why in the hell can't DeSatan do a rational report in Florida?

Governor C. is the best thing on daytime TV.

I am so tired of the TP45 suck-ups lying about everything while the numbers go up and up.

Went for a walk. Some neighbors having a pool part with half a dozen kids and equal number of adults. These people won't stay in unless there's an order to do so.

There is no state-wide order in Florida. Some counties have limited curfews and stay-at-home rules. Very confusing with every city and county doing their own thing. Some beaches still open!

DeSantis (FL Gov.) and Kemp (GA Gov.) look way, way, WAY out of their league on this. Shows you what happens when you elect (install) empty suits to lead a state.

10. GA didn't elect Kemp. He stole that office. It's criminal that we're stuck with him right now.

eta - Fortunately, many communities have decided on their own to do the right things regarding shutting down. It is disgusting that we don't have better leadership at the top though.

Brilliant.

Yes, Governor Cuomo is the best thing on daytime TV and we are just not going to get even a version of that with DeSantis. It really does feel like every man for himself in Florida. Down here in the lower counties we are on lockdown with shelter in place during the day and curfews at night and further up the map they are still partying like it's 1999....

So they can golf, mingle and not disrupt THEIR way of life.

The virus doesn't know county lines. Ugh.

7. they finally shut down the beaches in Clearwater (my home)...but up and down the coast it's open

...a bunch of boats out over the weekend, so the new local rule is no more than 10 people on the boat!!

The boats are not supposed to "raft up". All the kids are out of school (and college), so they anchor or beach the boats 50 feet apart and swim together like a school of floating virus bait.

The local sheriff had a couple of boats tying to break up hundreds of conglomerations of floating germ factories.

It's tough when you are taking things seriously and trying to do the right thing, then you look around and others are just laughing it off. It took a while to close down beaches here too, every city did their own thing and some mayors were much more responsible than others. Not to mention the kids that were hell bent on going to go to the beach no matter what...
