Gov. Ron DeSantis Is Taking Actions To Make Sure No One Escapes From Republican Mistakes

[WTF19]

Republicans are now trying to cover for being on the wrong side of COVID.

They are now banning COVID IDs to prove you have been vaccinated.
They want to make sure that you can’t identify those Conservatives who refused to be vaccinated.

when you come right down to it, its none of YOUR fucking business who gets a shot....maybe someone will cough on you!!!!
you support "chinese flu" id's, but not for voting....go and try to find a brain....

As of Friday, the CDC COVID Data Tracker lists over 550,000 U.S. deaths from COVID-19. Researchers have made it clear that the vast majority of those people should still be alive, were it not for poor decisions made during the pandemic—specifically the lack of federal system of testing and a federal mask mandate. Those two things alone could have cut the the number of deaths by more than 50%.

What makes this worse is that these were decisions not made out of ignorance. The United States wasn’t in the position of medieval plague doctors, waving posies in the face of the black death. The efficacy of masks was clear many times over even as Donald Trump repeatedly scoffed at their use and encouraged armed protesters to insist on “freedom!” from mask mandates. Even worse, Trump was absolutely aware of the benefits of a national testing system. He deliberately halted his planned roll out of such a system specifically because he thought doing so would generate disproportionate deaths in states in blue states.

Trump’s inaction was deliberate inaction. And because he has, almost inexplicably, become the model for all things Republicans, that inaction was mimicked at every level of state and local government from governors who refused to issue measures to protect their citizens, down to sheriffs who openly stated they would not enforce the laws. The deaths that resulted from these actions weren’t tragic accidents, they were, at a minimum, negligent homicide, and they should be treated as such.

But there’s another class of action taken during the pandemic that demands even more attention, those that deliberately prevented anyone else from working to address the problem. That applies to governors like Doug Ducey in Arizona and Greg Abbott in Texas who didn’t just refuse to pass statewide mask mandates, but used their power to override mandates passed by counties or cities. And it’s true of something that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is doing right now, by reaching into the business of private companies to tell them they can’t protect their customers.

Biden's already exceeded the death toll of Vietnam and Korea combined

How about that border super spreader?

They SHOULD close the border to Florida and Texas....yes.

Doing so would keep more Texans and Floridians from getting COVID-19!

Republicans are not on the wrong side of COVID! For the record, I am a Conservative Republican. Requiring COVID IDs is ridiculous. I have been vaccinated.

 

[Oddball]

You left out sticking covid positive people in nursing homes funny how the left no longer likes to mention the Emmy award winning Governor who wrote a book on leadership during the height of the pandemic and who was their poster boy for what leadership looked like.

If DeSantis was the terrible Governor the left is claiming he is you wouldn't be so worried about him by and large he got the covid response right and that is why he is being attacked. Its very,very early but the left it seems sees him as a major threat in 2024 and are already trying to take him down.

The two-headed monster.

The republicans already have a small collection of reasonably viable potential candidates in '24, while all the left has -after their senile husk of an empty suit who won't make it that far- are thoroughly unlikable lunatic Marxist ideologues.

Sadly, watching the last four years, it doesn't appear to matter who the Republican candidate is.
Trump accumulated quite a list of accomplishments for the American people,.......for naught....a stolen election.

True as that is, it remains that the dems have NO bench.....The real danger there is that we could have another Bush swoop in and take over.

The irony of people claiming to understand the science or public health policy advocating for things like masks and soft quarantines that do not and will not work is absurd.

You want to see what a technocratic and scientific response looks like? Look at sweden

Protecting their nursing homes is the only place they failed, and it's not clear they could have changed anything without full body suits and air filters tho.

We've been doing this a year and masks and lockdowns do not correlate with reduced rates. You'd have totally lock down, including travel (which trump did and democrats whined about). The australians and new zealanders are the only ones in the west who had strong enough lock downs to have an effect.

Spare me referencing the Asians, whatever they're doing it's not the masks because we wear masks. Doesn't work.

The bad orange man is still the boogeyman of the left.

The damage done by the "orange man" to the nation will live on for years. It will takes at least 10 years for the nation to recover and rebuild after the destruction to American institutions and national security.

 

[Lysistrata]

So now the republicans are attempting to tell business owners how to run their businesses, and prohibit them from protecting their customers from the potentially diseased. Perhaps all republicans should be treated by the public as diseased. After all, they have no concern for their nation and their fellow citizens.

The Progressive Socialist controlled authoritarian media promoted that agenda with the Prog politicians and deep state fighting Trump on everything. And he still got vaccines ready to go in a fast time period. You see the future.....An authoritarian employee government with a hard line capitalist corporate employer. China is the system we will emulate. And they may have different designs then the globalists have and the globalist traitor politicians, elites and others who push their doctrines on the general population.

The thread title is inaccurate; here is the correct version:

The Progs are outraged and desperate because DeSantis is defending the Civil Rights of his constituents as documented in The Constitution.

 

[DrLove]

Some idiot posted yesterday that Abbott's removal of mask mandate hasn't caused and uptick in Texas.
So much for that anti-science disinformation!

Computer models now project uptick in cases after mask mandate removal

The same model shows an almost complete elimination of the virus by July if mask-wearing continues.

No need even to read the text of the OP. Just look at the source: DailyKOS. Just from that alone, you can know that whatever is claimed in the text is pure bullshit.

If I own a business it is my fucking business to know whether my employees or customers are able to spread a deadly infection

And if pigs had wings, perhaps they could fly.

In the mean time, if I am looking for enlightenment about what would be a valid concern to a business owner, I'll look to actual business owners, and not to worthless parasites who live in their mothers' basements and live off of welfare checks from Big Brother.
