    FL Governor - Lockdown advocates akin to Flat Earthers

    Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that schools will be required to remain open despite the rise in confirmed COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, arguing lockdowns and closures have not worked.

    DeSantis also said the state was not considering any further restrictions on businesses that could lead to layoffs or financial loss.

    DeSantis said countries like Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland all kept children in schools with positive outcomes, and argued that some studies show the virus can spread more when children don't go to school because they socialize off campus. DeSantis criticized those who are pushing again for closures as cases rise.

    "Closing schools due to coronavirus is probably the biggest public health blunder in modern American history," he said at a news conference. "People who advocate closing schools for virus mitigation are effectively today's flat-earthers."

    DeSantis says closures don't work, schools stay open

    We really dodged a bullet down here in the gubernatorial election.

    The race was

    49.6% Ron DeSantis GOP 4,076,186 ✓
    49.2% Andrew Gillum Dem 4,043,723
    1.2% Other 100,585

    Gillum found incoherent with gay porn actor...

    Andrew Gillum said he would withdraw from public life, closing a chapter in his career that took him from the peak of Florida power to a Miami Beach hotel room where he was found inebriated with a man suspected of overdosing on crystal meth.

    "This has been a wake-up call for me," the former Tallahassee mayor said in a written statement Sunday. "Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse. I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism and I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles."

    But yeah, the weather is nice too!

    The worst thing you can do to a child is damage their immune system, that has life long repercussions. Isolation schemes like distance learning do just that.

    There is plenty of interaction with microbes at home, in the backyard, walking in the neighborhood, etc. You make it sound as if distance learning means being cooped in a sterile germ-free laboratory room.

    Well, beyond the negative health ramifications of isolation schemes, "distance learning" has proven to be an abject failure from an academic stand point. Again, the children are damaged by such schemes. Mental health, development of social skills etc. are also factors that isolation advocates have disregarded.

    Tucker Carlson took Fauci to task Monday, noting that "the country's public health establishment has tortured your children for eight months for no apparent reason."

    "The authorities have admitted it," Carlson urged, adding that "the most amazing part — and this really is the headline of the story — is that they knew they were wrong when they did it. But they kept lying about it even as American children began to kill themselves."

    "Why is this just now occurring to Tony Fauci?" Tucker asked, adding "Isn't this Fauci's entire job to, quote, 'look at the data?' Yes, it is. And, yet, somehow he never thought to do that."

    Fauci has been all over the charts on his recommendations. Leadership?? He needs to go back to that school. He is a coward.
