Florida reopens state's economy despite ongoing pandemic Source: Boston.com 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 after six months of "people twisting in the wind." The governor's announcement Friday allows restaurants across the state to immediately reopen at full capacity -- and prevents cities and counties from ordering them to close or operate at less than half-capacity, unless they can justify a closure for economic or health reasons.

Smartest governor in the nation right now.

Florida has been open for months and rightly so. The only difference is the capacity limit has been lifted in certain businesses.

If we were to wait for the end of the pandemic, we would all die of starvation.

The Wuhan Red Death doesn't even really qualify as a "pandemic" anymore.

Time to get back to normal and let this run its course.

This situation: The school has a mask policy. The woman was asked to put one on or leave. She refused. She was asked a second time to please put one on and she refused. The police guard then tried to escort her out and she fought back. That is why she was tased.

In fairness, the doctors have told us there is no "end" until enough people are vaccinated. I am personally eating just fine, although there is some disturbing news coming out of the meat processing plants.

There are numerous opinions among "the doctors"....You don't get to pick and choose which ones you like, then bully everyone into submission over it.

Democrats are working hard to make the cure worse than the virus...blue states cities and counties are turning tyrannical....

This situation: The school has a mask policy. The woman was asked to put one on or leave. She refused. She was asked a second time to please put one on and she refused. The police guard then tried to escort her out and she fought back. That is why she was tased.

The state has an exemption that she qualifies for....
