After DeSantis said last week that “the No. 1 outbreak we’ve seen is in agricultural communities” and followed up this week with statements that “overwhelmingly Hispanic” farmworkers and day laborers were the leading source of new cases, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried fired back, noting that the majority of farmworkers left several weeks ago after harvests ended and that cases are spiking in non-agricultural areas.

COVID-19 DISASTER FLORIDA: Incompetent Governor Follows the Lead of POTUS

June 17, 2020 Leave a comment

As the number of daily infections is dramatically and sickeningly exploding, Governor DeSantis is emulating the indifference and incompetency of President Trump. Florida is heading to a COVID-19 disaster affecting especially the population of seniors in the state. Another national GOP leader who is leading us to death and illness. No masks, no distancing will bring both health and economic disasters, and a drag on the poor and low wage people on whom the economy of the state depends.
