Agree 100%. He is handling this Covid mass hysteria like how it should be done. Keeping the economy open, no tyrannical mandates.
Some Democrats are realizing this too. New NYC mayor Eric Adams just said he will not shut down NYC again even with the current spike in cases. He is still a Democrat though and is still doubling down on the atrocious vaccine mandates.

How can you "shatter records" when we are tracking and reporting different data ?
Last year it was hospitalizations and deaths.
Now it's positive cases.
That's not apples to apples.
because we - or at least i - can walk and chew gum at the same time.
last year it was hospitalizations and deaths AND positive cases. this year it's hospitalizations and deaths AND positive cases.
infection rates are currently shattering records. if you disagree, show evidence otherwise.
the problem is that they are almost always failing to point out that these high infection rates are failing to correlate with hospitalizations and/or deaths.
“You even see some of these TV doctors on CNN admitting that cloth masks are not going to stop—protect against Omicron,” DeSantis said. “Simply putting cloth over and thinking that somehow that is going to provide good protection, that’s just not accurate.”
Bingo
On the bright side, scared folks will likely stay home or out of Florida, however, AOC who’s one of the biggest fearmongers, is partying on down here, lol.
Lordie, I HOPE those folks will stay out of Florida, from all indications though, they are still pouring into the state. And in some cases, bringing the covid with them. We know of at least one person who's pretty sick with it now ( though he has been " fully vaccinated"- so much for THAT), passed along to him courtesy of his children and grandchildren who visited him over the holidays. The other people we know who got it from relatives visiting from the northeast are fortunately not that sick with it.
Nobody dying in the streets. Most asymptomatic or mild COLD symptoms. It is a freaking JOKE of a "disease". Get over it Lefties. This is embarrassing for you as you are afraid of your own shadows. Living in constant fear and loving it is NOT OK. Plus you want to deny others the right to a quality life and standard of living. NO. I will never comply with your totalitarian nonsense.

No it's not. It's positive cases that is hitting the news.
Deaths are down. The CFR has went from 6% to 1.5%
I checked FL and SC hospital stats and they are not full of covid patients.
Actually his focus has been on all the above. Vaccines and monoclonal antibodies. If you paid attention you would have remembered when Democrats and the media they control freaked out when DeSantis was the first in the nation to have a major grocery chain distribute vaccines to people ASAP.
Unfortunately Biden made it political and reduced both vaccine and monoclonal antibody treatments to the state, something DeSantis is demanding they increase. Biden has blood on his hands, because he was happy to put people at risk in order to punish a state he does not like.
Something interesting I noticed Goodnight. You and certain others never post about blue state Covid spikes. You only post about red state spikes. You avoid discussing blue state Covid spikes. Why is that? Right now Omicron is spiking in all color states, as we need it to do in order to finally put Covid to bed.
Thank you. It just goes to show how the OP’s whole premise for this thread, based on a biased liberal source is disingenuous.
Agreed! - They operate under the principle of: "Repeat anything often enough and people will believe it" -- The media is no longer about free speech or censorship, but has become a major force in sculpting public opinion ... and a danger to the Republic. Whatever happened to proof/facts/truth/evidence?? Unfortunately, this environment is fostering an increased lack of critical thinking among young, impressionable minds. (Gosh! I'll bet nobody thought of that!)
