dave d Yes - De Santis diverted COVID numbers from clinics that were supposed to go straight to the CDC, so he could massage them first.  He knew that people coming to “open for business Florida” would catch COVID then go home to their home state, and given the asymptomatic infectious period, would then show symptoms and get counted in those states’ statistics.  This  increased other states’ death rates and made his look good by comparison.  So it is not only his numbers that should be higher.  His policies drove up death across the country, by providing a national Petri dish. But whereas Sisolak was turfed because he did the right thing, and shut down the Las Vegas strip, DeSantis was rewarded with anther termThis man is  every bit the petty grievance filled fascist that Trump is, but he is way more cunning and knows how to use the levers of government to suppress whomever he wants to, under the guise of making Florida “freer”.  Freer for those of his ilk to persecute others not like him.  He is now using the education system to reinforce his social preferences and inculcate a new generation of white Christian heterosexual nationalists.  Anyone else is lesser in his system.
