Miami Herald: Trump, DeSantis put politics over Floridians' health

This opinion in the Miami Herald hits the nail on the head with respect to how Republicans have once again put politics over the public welfare.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/fabiola-santiago-trump-desantis-put-politics-over-floridians-health-fools-cheered-but-covid-kills/ar-BB1a1H5D?ocid=msedgdhp

Welcome to the Trump-DeSantis horror show in central Florida.

It can make you sick and kill you, but Floriduh dunces love these COVID deniers. Supporters see President Donald Trump’s narcissism and couldn’t-care-less attitude as a sign of strength.

They see the governor’s reckless behavior — mingling with crowds without wearing a mask, high-fiving people, then wiping his nose in the middle of a pandemic — as anything but what it is, dangerous. It’s gross, and grotesque, too.

Beware South Florida: The potentially superspreading Trump rally is moving on to Miami.

We still have free will. Or I think we do. So just because the state is wide open doesn’t mean we have to get out there inviting Covid into our lives and body.

So go ahead with your bad self, DeSantis. Breath up all the Covid fumes you like. But count me out. I’ve managed to spend most of my life at home since March. It is not THAT bad. And as my husband reminded me last night......it is still better than pushing up daisies.
