1. The DUMBEST piece of shit governor in the United States

Countless Floridians have been condemned to die by his delay and bullshit

[safeinOhio]

2. He wants to infect them all.

Right on Mr Corn.

[handmade34]

3. just wrong

stupid, irrational, counter-productive...

[SheltieLover]

4. Essential to what?

Spreading disease?

K&R

[jimfields33]

5. The churches in lake county are all closed and online

I wonder how many are really open. Maybe in broward and palm where the most population is.

[TeamPooka]

6. I'll miss Florida

[Jirel]

16. But the upside...

is that the wildlife gets more space to roam. Go panthers!

[Baitball Blogger]

7. What a useless POS.

[kimbutgar]

8. Culling the herd of evangelical mf45 supporters

An unintended consequence. And no medical care for you because repukes destroyed Obamacare.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. THis wont just kill them, they will spread it to others who will spread it to others

who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others
who will spread it to others

[sheshe2]

30. Correct.

Also the medical staff that put their lives on the line for these fools without the proper equipment to protect themselves or their families.

We are seeing almost 1K dead the last few days. Guess they are praising da lord that they are the 'right' people.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. This from the same state that is refusing to let

cruise passengers disembark.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. My most used phrase: Fucking Idiot.

[Journeyman]

13. Has the fiction that -- against all evidence -- Christians are a persecuted group in the US . . .

become so pervasive among certain groups that, to prove it true, they've begun to persecute themselves?

Or is DeSantis just a fanboy for indiscriminate genocide?

[GeorgiaPeanut]

14. Oh God (intentional use of God)

We have Trump's minnie-me here.

[Jirel]

15. Please keep that curve rising.

Just keep it among your ignorant, Branch Covidian selves.

[Beartracks]

17. So they're not letting more than 10 people at a time into church?

Because even responsible essential businesses are doing THAT. It's not "business as usual" for essential businesses at all.

I believe the idea for worship is that "wherever two or three are gathered in my name..."

So meet at home, people. You don't have to do dumb things just because your governor says so.

26. Bible study groups meet on Zoom

And there are services online or on TV!

This is no unnecessary it's not funny!

[Blue Owl]

18. DeSatan wants to kill them all

[beachbumbob]

19. the problem will be self-solving, blessed is the karma at workl

[Butterflylady]

20. Well that's one way to get rid of evangelicals.

Sorry if that sounds cruel, so be it.

[empedocles]

21. 'Thinning the herd'

[muntrv]

22. Culling the herd.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. If a church wants to kill off the families of congregants, we should treat all of them as infected.

.

The more pious they are, the higher the probability of infection.

[onenote]

24. Desantis is an idiot but Democrats also are exempting religious services

Including Cuomo and Whitmer. Other states with similar exceptions:

DC,Delaware, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

[treestar]

25. Even the Catholic Church has shut down masses

And it's a sin not to go to Mass!!!

I hope they at least sit six feet apart, but not counting on that.

[Retrograde]

29. Most mainstream sects have shut down in-person services

and not just Christian sects - mosques and synagogues are also telling their congregations to stay home. It's the low-education* evangelicals who seem bent on exposing themselves and their families to harm

*and I consider graduates of institutions such as ORU and Liberty University low-educated

[C_U_L8R]

27. God will sort them out.

[edhopper]

28. stolen elections

have consequences.

[rockfordfile]

31. That will get people killed
