TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – With the number of coronavirus cases pushing past 190 in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued sweeping new restrictions Tuesday to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Starting at 5 p.m., all bars and nightclubs in Florida must close for 30 days. Restaurants must limit capacity to 50%, and all restaurant employees must be screened for the virus, DeSantis said at a press conference on Tuesday.
“We view that as something that could be problematic for spreading the virus. Stealth carriers — people who don’t have symptoms — but they are nevertheless passing along,” he said.
The governor is still leaving the closure of beaches up to local governments, but said Florida has banned gatherings of larger than 10 people on beaches. It’s unclear exactly how that will be enforced.
DeSantis also announced Florida’s sixth death from the coronavirus, a nursing home patient in Broward County. He also said four University of Florida students had tested positive for the virus, bringing the total number of cases to 192, and used the press conference to call for remote learning at all Florida universities.
According to the Florida Department of Health, the state is currently monitoring more than 500 people for the virus.

“But but..I thought it was only supposed to be for two weeks?” Says the sheeple. “Oh well, I just hope the government will feed me so I can sit at home and do nothing and if I close my eyes, it’ll all go away without a fight because I trust in my gubberment to save me. Don’t worry, everyone. If anything goes wrong, I got my guns and I’ll use them.
What? The gubberment wants to take them from me in order to protect me?
Well, ok I guess. Here you go. I trust you. You know what’s best for me”.
This is the mindset I hear EVERY F$&king day in my area and neighborhoods. When push comes to shove, they just lay down their weapons and give up without a fight and say, “oh well” and move on. It’s pathetic.
Just like putting restrictions on airports.
“Oh they cant do that! The people will revolt in force. We got guns. There’s no way.”
Then the government does it.
“What? They did it. I’m so pissed off!!!! But oh well, at least I still have my house, guns and health and since I don’t fly that much, it doesn’t bother me, I guess. Oh boy the game’s on! Let’s watch!”
This is why the American people don’t and won’t do a damn thing!
Like Henry said, “Someone unfortunately is going to have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order for things to get going”.
In America, it used to be, “What? Don’t ya want to be a hero?”
Now the mentality is, “Don’t do anything stupid. No one will remember you.”
Who needs a real life hero when they can watched on tv? Live vicariously through these ACTORS. PATHETIC.
