I’m jealous. As part of phase three re-opening strategy, Florida Governor Ron Desantis has nullified COVID19 restrictions statewide. With, of course, the option to personally adopt one for your space, with conditions.

No COVID19 order can prevent a person from working or operating a business.
Restaurants may not be limited to less than 50% capacity. Restrictions between 50 and 100% must account for economic impact and prove to the state some critical public needs.
The order nullifies all enforcement mechanisms for COVID19 ordinances (making masking mandates irrelevant).
This ensures the right of individuals to decide for themselves as it should always have been.
That has always been our position. Freedom!
We want people to be free to choose for themselves their response to any degree of individual risk when they walk out the front door—the same as any other day or the year before this one.
So, where do I get myself a governor like this?
