Gov. Ron DeSantis Says Florida is Shutting Down For Spring Breakers: ‘The Party is Over’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) announced that he’s putting an end to spring break revelry in his state with the coronavirus pandemic growing in the country.
In an interview on Thursday with Fox & Friends , DeSantis was asked if state beaches will be closing in light of vacationers who are adamant about going out and partying in public despite the crisis.
“The message I think for spring breakers is the party is over in Florida,” DeSantis said. “You’re not going to be able to congregate on any beach in the state. Many of the hot spots that people like to go to, whether it’s Miami beach, Fort Lauderdale and Clearwater Beach are closed entirely for the time being…We would tell those folks maybe come back next year when things are better, but that is not what we’re looking for.”
DeSantis said he wouldn’t close down every beach, but stressed that they will be made to comply with the CDC’s virus prevention guidelines. He also said that the state has seen high levels of cancellations as tourists have abandoned their plans amid the ongoing situation.
“Regardless of local decisions, you’re not going to be able to congregate like those images that you saw,” he said. “That’s just not something that we are going to allow and so you want to work constructively with the locals to get the best solutions.”

It's about time.
DeSantis has done everything the CDC has suggested and when they suggest it !
Like NY Gov. Cuomo has been spouting during his "Fireside" chats lately..... STOP THE FUCKING PANICKING !
" Where's the Beef " ?
You're kidding , right?
The government is about to spend two or three trillion dollars combating the effects of this pandemic. 40,000 people applied for unemployment insurance in Illinois yesterday. California had 80,000 applications.
NY Gov Cuomo says they are expecting the need for 30,000 hospital beds in NYC.
No beef?
Ooooohhhh….I thought the seed with showing DeSantis with a BIG OL' (R) next his name, was just another one of your "Trash the other side" article/seeds.
It wasn't meant that way ?
Think whatever you want.
You can't answer ?
Answer what?
When you post something worth answering I'll answer.
Short memory out of convenience ?

I copied and pasted an article from a media site
I neither looked or cared if there was an R next to his name. Maybe they do that all the time
You don't read before seeding and or Copy/Pasting something ?

But kids don't tend to contract coronavirus. Especially a kid soaked in alcohol inside and out.
they can carry it
Now I'm the one who had to think
U.S. State Dept is ending all international travel for Americans. Those abroad now are ordered to come home now or stay where they are for the duration.
OK - here's the question. Those folks on international travel are, supposedly, in countries with a higher rate of contagion than the U. S. - why would they want to come home bringing the disease/symptoms to the U. S.?
Maybe they could place them in quarantine?
They do place them in quarantine. My buddy came back from Liechtenstein 6 days ago and they instructed her to stay in a 14 day quarantine at home. They check up every couple of days. So far she's okay.
Glad to hear that your friend is ok
Me too. She is a College Professor and was on a winter teaching sabbatical. She wasn't supposed to come home until May. They shut down the program because of COVID-19.
Tarrant County Texas just announced a Shelter at Home order through April 7
complete with price freezes based on March 16th prices.
Essential services include grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores.
Target, here we come.
plenty of loop holes for non essential businesses to remain open....interesting.
