Whaaatttt? Newsom has shut down parts of California twice and has people living in fear of COVID with all sorts of rules and yet the state is number ONE for most cases per capita. Many people have condemned Governor DeSantis for opening Florida up and yet Florida isn’t even in the top ten. Things that make you go hmmmm.
Governor DeSantis also bucked the racist recommendations of the CDC to put essential workers ahead of the oldest Floridians.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced divergent vaccine plans on Tuesday, saying that the Sunshine State’s elderly senior citizens will be the next to receive initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The state has already been vaccinating health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities.
But this next step breaks with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended protocol, which says in addition to those 75 and over, essential workers should receive the next doses. This includes postal workers, first responders, grocery store workers, teachers and others.
“In Florida, we’ve got to put our parents and grandparents first and that’s what we’re going to be doing,” DeSantis
told reporters. “And we’re going to work like hell to be able to get all the vaccines out to elderly who want it.”
