Florida vaccination rates are pretty good.  Over 50% of the population are fully vaccinated.  More than many other states out there.  Florida also has a large Hispanic population who are extremely skeptical of the vaccine and along with African Americans are much less likely to get vaccinated.  DeSantis has been doing an amazing job helping balance a pandemic and an economy.  We cannot continue to financially ruin people as well as increase the mental health crisis our children are experiencing.  Its a delicate balance and Florida is really lucky to have an honest good person leading the state.  Hopefully he makes it into the Presidency.

If you care about the mental health of children, please just let them go to school.  Since masking would help achieve that goal, make the kids mask.  Masking is not a problem for them.  Repeated school closing only teaches them that the world  world is  a dangerous and unstable place.  Why would we perpetuate that view?  The problems is with the adults, not the kids.  And I don't know what teacher in their right mind would show up to work in that environment.  How does opening and closing the schools repeatedly help the economy?  Parents have to take care of these kids while the schools are closed.  DeSantis is only a friend to the hard-right anti-vaxxer zealots of Judiasm who are only a fraction of the total population.  And if they keep behaving this way, they will become an ever smaller fraction.

2 things.  Yeah, I want to see about that case of the overdosed patient and if that person is still working; 2.  Nobody has ever insinuated that all police officers are overly-aggressive.  NO ONE so stop bringing it up. and 3.  What does Chicago have to do with this argument except to prove that officers are inadequately trained to deal with armed children?  Why would acknowledging that a small, but sociopathic, number in the police forces need to get weeded out insinuate that no one here cares about Chicago?  This is an illogical argument.  40,000,000 guns were sold during the first year of the pandemic.  That might have something to do with it but we won't know that answer for a long time, if ever.  Oh, BTW, you do realize that G. Gekko was the metaphor of Satan in the movie?  

Again a handful of incidents among millions of police interactions does not prove that "officers are inadequately trained to deal with armed children".  

Family awarded settlement after teen dies in Colorado following breast augmentation surgery - East Idaho  https://www.eastidahonews.com/2021/06/family-awarded-settlement-after-teen-dies-in-colorado-following-breast-augmentation-surgery/

He lost his ability to administer anesthesia in state of Colorado, retained his nursing license.  I don't know if he is able to provide anesthesia in other states but that doesn't matter.  

CRNA Rex Meeker was associated with an incident involving a teens death.  Does that mean that all CRNAs are "inadequately trained"?  Things are going to happen in all professions  The fact that deadly interactions from police are so incredibly rare and only happen a handful of times with unarmed people each year shows that they are not "inadequately trained".  

My name Gordon Gekko has nothing to do with anything.  Besides healthcare my other passion is the stock market.  I have always loved trading and Wall Street is my favorite movie of all time.

They are allowed to mask if they want to.  I don't know what you are arguing here.  The vaccination rates among the "hard-right" aren't bad.  Why don't you tell the Hispanic and Black population to get vaccinated?  Why aren't you subtly bashing them in your posts?  Because it doesn't fit in your agenda.  The difference between men like DeSantis and you is the Governor is trying to unite both sides and get us through this pandemic while you continue to politicize it.

Why don't you quote the demographic breakdown of the people opposed to vaccination? Why don't you link to the white supremacist content that informs your opinions on race relations in our country? 

It's cute that you think DeSantis is using unifying language and tactics...you know like threats to funding...

I thought the message was for everyone to get vaccinated...period.  Simply that.  I have no power over anyone.  If the right-wingers of Israel refuse to vaccinate (contrary to the message of even the Orthodox rabbis - but these vaccine-deniers are even more conservative than the Orthodox), then it it their loss.  Darwin at work.  How is DeSantis "uniting" people in Florida while he's forced to beg for ventilators for the citizens he is there to protect.  I ask very little from the government...mostly just to protect me from physical harm.  They failed miserably on 9/11 and IMHO, DeSantis is just as destructive as that handful  of Saudis because he is adament in his stupidity.  His job is to protect his citizens, not kill or maim them.  Children can't be left alone to make decisions for themselves.  I'm sorry you missed the point of the movie.

DeSantis is "forced to beg for ventilators"?  DeSantis has said there is no shortage in the state.  I was in a Florida ER the last 2 nights with a wall of at least 10 unused vents. 

You don't know the situation and seeing you ramble on about 9/11, orthodox Jews, Saudis, and other unrelated things shows that you are pretty far off your rocker.  I think you may need some Donepezil or something.

I can't wait until the man is President.  I suggest you stop pushing fake news about a pandemic that is killing people and politicizing it to try to meet your hateful agenda.

 

"Christina Pushaw, a DeSantis spokesperson, said Wednesday there isn’t a ventilator shortage in Florida and the request for federal help wasn’t made at the governor’s direction.

“The Executive Office of the Governor was not involved in the request at all, and it did not come across the governor’s desk,” she wrote. “We are not aware of any ventilator shortage in Florida.”

Trump is the most peaceful president of our lifetime.  Least interventionist President we will ever see.  

I gotta ask, why were there insurrectionists in the Capital?

I guess we have a 50/50 chance of running into a Covid + infected individual. I don't gamble with these odds, do you?

More sensationalism with zero data.  8 unarmed black men were shot and killed by police in 2019.  You call that a widespread problem?  How many police officers were killed that year?  Another person who doesn't believe in evidence based literature.

You list a single incident.  Should I list a single incident of a CRNA overdosing and killing a patient?  Would that mean that all CRNAs are out there trying to kill people?

The myth of systemic racism has long been debunked and the idea itself is inherently racist and prejudice against police officers.  CNN, Huffington Post, Vice, and whatever "news" sources you get you are influenced by is not real life.  How come you aren't speaking about the problem in Chicago?  You have almost 100 people being shot every single weekend.  Do those people not matter? 

Dude, you guys hate the police, remember? Get with the programme! 

The insurrection didn't happen and the Capitol policemen didn't die, right? Just a coincidence they felt like committing suicide? 

That's another reason they have to get trump because I fear he's also lining up to pull another ten plus years of not paying any taxes. I have to give him credit for that. It would have been a smooth ploy if he wasn't so stupid. Elementary logic tells you that he didn't want to win, but you have to risk big to win big. 

He really had a slick thing going there and he ballsed it all up. No profit, so no taxes. Plough all the money into a network of losing companies on a rotational basis. We all know about it, few have the guts to try. And man, has he made some enemies! I would have stroked out by now with all the stress he's placed on himself and his family! 

Everyone's under the cosh now! I just wonder in his crazy family, who's going to feel so threatened that they are going to go Shakespearean, King Lear, Hamlet, Julius Ceasar on his ***? Who's going to be Cassius? Trust me, it's coming! 

Shakespeare would have loved him! Can you imagine the tragedies he would have written about this idiot?

Which insurrection?  The one where BLM attacked the White House or when they stormed the Oklahoma capital?  Be more specific

You are avoiding the question.  Was it when BLM stormed the Oklahoma capital in April of this year armed with assault rifles or was it when they attacked the White House in June 2020 causing the president to leave for safety in the terrorism bunker?  Which insurrection are you referring to?

Or are you going back further when a BLM founding member bombed the nations capital in 1983 or when the black supremacist terrorist organization the Black Panthers stormed the nations capital in 1967 armed with assault rifles?
