Ron DeSantis to Joe Biden: No FEMA vaccine ‘camps’

Then perhaps you'd better respond to HIM, not to me. Sheesh...

 

This is my way of responding to his behavior. This is a discussion board after all. I have no idea why you think its about you.

 

Well said

.

 

The Feds don't help anyone but themselves.

 

Vaccination Camp York College just opened up in New York City ! Staffed by FEMA. VC Medgar Evers is also open for business.

Statewide positivity is back down to around 5%.

Republicans and conservatives welcome, while they're still alive.

 

So, the do-called FEMA Camps was nothing but an invention of DeSantis mind.

Now he is doing something even more strange, because he is making it illegal to enforce any local emergency measures. It seems counter-productive, because things like sports events have been allowing some people to enter given they wear a mask and are virus free, but now they have to choose between allowing full attendance, or none at all. Cruise lines will likely opt to not starting operations at all. He already outlawed "proof of vaccination". Why such micro-management? I wonder if its even constitutional for the State government to micro manage locals like this. It seems he does these kinds of things knowing there is a certain segment who like it (those who believe the whole thing is a hoax), but at the same time he sells himself as conservative, but this kind of government overreach is pretty much the opposite of conservative. IMOm he should let the locals and the business owners decide how they want to run things.


Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspends all local COVID emergency mandates
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-covid-desantis-local-emergency-mandates-suspend/
"I will also sign an executive order pursuant to that bill invalidating all remaining local emergency COVID orders effective on July 1. But then to bridge the gap between then and now, I am going to suspend, under my executive power, the local emergency orders as it relates to COVID. I think that's the evidence-based thing to do."

 

Ron thinks that being a loon will get him elected.

 

The Florida Republican led legislature just noticed how they have alienated their elderly voters and military people by making mail in voting so restrictive they may not vote...

 

It might work given the number of loons in US, but dancing to their music can't be the best for the nation as whole. I liked DeSantis at first, but then he figured that populism was a better path.

 

they seem to forget, Trump was one of the first in line to get his vaccine

 

Who are these "many citizens" you speak of. FL enjoys one of the best distribution systems, and vaccination rates in the country. Sell your BS somewhere else.

 

And declare a national health emergency activating CDC and NHI guidelines.

 

Florida will suffer their own fate and destiny as long as they keep electing morons like this Governor. I feel no sympathy for them at all.

 

Citizens of Florida. It is really that hard to figure out?

Florida ranks #35 in vaccinations, which is ok. DeSantis finally allowed the Feds help in distribution. You are responding to an old post. I revived the thread after DeSantis pulled his latest stunt. Maybe I should have opened a new thread.

DeSantis can be a good governor, and he was good until he started to imitate Trump, because he seems to think that is a path to the White House. IMO, he would have been continued being himself.

 

Hmm... Does it ever bother you that you've used entirely different standards of behavior in the same thread? First, De Santis was evil because he was against the FEMA camps, something you weren't even bothered to consider in your first posting, and now, not using the same standard, where federal folks are "assisting in distribution" but not using FEMA camps, you're better with it. IT's kind of laughable. But, you're still cranky cause now you think he's acting like Trump. The dissonance.....

 

in all honesty, why don't you move from the state and go to a Democrat state where the govt can be your nanny?

DO you have any idea what this exec order really does or are did Pavlo ring the bell and you salivate? Uh oh, Democrat media again says DeSantis bad.....must parrot message

 

Blocking life saving vaccinations from the citizens by inventing "FEMA Camp" concept (as if people were going to be detained) was a bad move to say the least.

Its the same standard. Putting his government foot on locals throats and forcing them to act his way is even worse than the imagined "FEMA camps". And now he is forcing private companies to dance to his music too, so he sure seems to be on a highway to full blown authoritism. There is no double standard, because in all three examples he is using the government to force his way and in all three cases he is infringing on the freedoms of the citizens.

 

Only in your mind are these the same standards. At this point, who cares, you don't...

 

Here in NC, just about anyone can get the vaccine. There are open clinics (run by the health department) with no appointment necessary every week, and the vaccination rate is roughly 25%, depending on the county. Unfortunately, some people are avoiding getting the vaccine. All this does is delay when we can fully open schools and businesses, and end many of the covid mandates (masks, mass gatherings,etc.) There is no GOOD reason not to get vaccinated, unless you like being self centered.
This may help. Click here
They are low on the list as far as vaccines they have been given vs. vaccines delivered.

 

I dont see how some businesses like cruise lines can start operating under these new rules. That's why I call it counter-productive.

 

Same in FL vaccines open to all with no waiting. You would not know that listening to the Democrat media

 

Then don't cruise

 

Huh? Read the order. Private biz can do as they wish but govt can't mandate. That is called liberty

 

Liberty always has limitations, usually when it runs into someone else's liberty.
The word liberty when used in relation to US domestic policy is too vague to stand on it's own. It's kind of like measuring electricity, it is all relative to what you're using as a comparison, as in potential difference.

Also, I may have been obtuse with part of the statement. I meant, Florida is low on the list of states in percentage of vaccine supplied vs. vaccinations done.
It's in the link I put in the post.

 

Looks like some cities and counties in Florida have no intention of following DeSantis orders.

South Florida schools say state order does not apply, masks still required in schools
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article251148824.html
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ suspension of emergency COVID-19 orders in Florida will not affect the mask policies at South Florida schools for the remainder of the school year, according to the school districts. The plans for summer and fall are not as clear.

Here’s what we know:

DO KIDS, STAFF STILL NEED TO WEAR A MASK AT SOUTH FLORIDA SCHOOLS?
Masks are still required for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year until further notice at Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Broward County Public Schools, the Monroe County School District and the School District of Palm Beach County.

The Florida Department of Education confirmed that the governor’s order, which he signed Monday and which invalidates all remaining local emergency COVID orders, would not impact “any school district’s policies for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year,” according to Miami-Dade Schools.
