Sun Sentinel Investigation: Gov. Ron DeSantis 'Ordered Public Health Officials Not To Discuss The ..
.. COVID-19 Virus With The Public’

According to thousands of pages of documents and over 50 interviews conducted by the SunSentinel, the governor and his team have done it through misinformation and spin as well as by muzzling local health officials across the state.
Q: Did your investigation actually reveal misinformation that was put up by the governor’s office? Because it’s one thing to focus on the positive. It’s another thing to deliberately mislead people. Did you find that?
A: Yes, indeed, yeah. This is one of the more difficult things to talk about. So we found that the governor spokesperson on his personal Twitter account, at least 16 separate times, discussed mask wearing in a way that experts consider to be misinformative. In keeping with the DeSantis administration’s greater position on masks, which is that you know where I’m if you want, the spokesperson would go ahead and say, Fred Piccolo, Jr., you know, there’s no need for a math mask mandate, they don’t work. That’s not factually accurate. They are shown to work. And in several instances, he actually compared COVID-19 to the flu, and said that the flu was equally deadly. That’s not accurate, either. And so this is a public official, and, you know, the governor’s number one spokesperson, and so we felt the need to fact check that misinformation coming out.

the little imp on my shoulder says the appropriate response is to take off your mask and breathe into their faces. HARD. Then see their reaction. 
Due to his fealty and acquienscence to the Cowardly Lyin' Traitorous Loser, the blood of thousands of Floridians is on his hands, and no amount of spin-doctoring will erase the stain on his soul.
Wishing he'd contract the virus himself is counterproductive at this point. We need federal intervention here -- I hope the Biden-Harris does more than "request" mask-wearing for 100 days. Besides, once he's infected he'd probably pass the virus along to even more innocent people. Instead, he should live long enough to realize and regret his heinous crime against humanity, which he has wrought on Floridians and our many visitors.
May he go down in history as the worst. Florida governor. ever. And then burn in Hell for all eternity!
I used to refer to him as Ron DeRacist, after he made the "don't monkey this up!" comment during his election campaign. Well, Ronnie, you have fucked this state up worse than Andrew Gillum (his campaign opponent) could have ever done!
