TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted all restrictions on restaurants and other businesses in Florida on Friday, and banned local fines against people who refuse to wear masks as he seeks to reopen the state's economy despite the spread of the coronavirus.

The Republican governor's order unleashed fresh debate in the politically divided state, where pandemic responses have become intertwined with the upcoming presidential election.

DeSantis, a major ally of President Donald Trump, acknowledged that the pandemic is far from over, but he said the threat has eased and the time has come to reopen for business.

“We’re not closing anything going forward,” DeSantis said, while insisting that the state is prepared if infections increase again.

2. It's going to be a disaster in Miami

Fortunately I have lots of projects to do around the house

I'll certainly be evaluating companies based on how they deal with this

3. As more people die and it's gets worst he will face the consequences of his actions

Perhaps getting prosecuted and jailed for his negligence.

4. Funeral homes contribute to the DeSantis economy just like everything else.

So maybe now business will pick up.

5. He is insisting the state is ready for an increase in infections. I wonder how the healthcare

workers feel about that statement? I know I'd be pretty damned angry knowing that another nightmare situation was headed my way.

And all you vulnerable seniors? He doesn't give a damn about you either.
