I’ve been surprised by DeSantis as well. We dodged a major bullet when he beat Gillum.

I am talking about where I live, which is South Florida.

He's done a great job. If we had a Democrat governor, we'd be suffering like they are in NY, MI, NJ, PA, etc. Endless lockdowns for no reason.

I have not see a single grocery store which will let people in without a mask. It is a county rule, and it is enforced. I posted a link to it.

Except GoldenPines and I just got done telling you the bars and restaurants in South Florida are NOT enforcing the mask mandates except when you walk through the door.

It's no longer enforced. Ofc Publix or WholeFoods (chains) will probably enforce it. But smaller, individually operated neighborhood grocery stores are doing their own thing.

Florida Gov. DeSantis explains his handling of coronavirus: 'We wanted society to function'

Yes, that is the rule. How would you eat and drink with a mask on? Can we use common sense?



https://www.broward.org/CoronaVirus/...0of%20properly.

Reopened businesses must still follow the requirements of Broward County’s Emergency Orders, including sanitization, wearing of facial coverings and posting of required signage. To help stop the spread of COVID-19, it is important for residents to adhere to social distancing and wear a facial covering in public.


Cover Your Face
The CDC recommends and Broward County Emergency Orders require residents and visitors, unless otherwise exempted, to wear a facial covering in public, and to wear it properly, including over the nose and mouth. The facial covering can be constructed of any material, but should utilize CDC guidelines. Disposable face masks and gloves are not recyclable – please dispose of properly.

You can report violations anonymously online at MyBroward.Broward.org. Select “Request for Service,” enter the location of the violation, and select “COVID-19 Business Complaints” as the Type of Issue. You can also call the Broward County Call Center at 311 or 954-831-4000.

It's a rule that's no longer enforced due to DeSantis' executive order. Why are you trolling?
