Apparently Florida expects a surge of people leaving the tri-state area to flee coronavirus.
“I hereby direct all persons whose point of departure originates from outside the State of Florida in an area with substantial community spread, to include the New York Tri-State Area (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York), and entering the State of Florida through airports to isolate or quarantine for a period of 14 days from the time of entry into the State of Florida or the duration of the person’s presence in the State of Florida, whichever is shorter,” the executive order says.

“Apparently Florida expects a surge of people leaving the tri-state area to flee coronavirus.”
The measures he declared won’t work. It will have almost 0% participation. If they really think it’s a problem, they will have to adopt stricter measures. Maybe requiring everyone entering to wear an ankle bracelet locater for 14 days. Or require them to stay in designated quarantine hotels.
But if you do that, people will freak out . . . .
Does DeSantis truly believe these fleeing NY/CT/NJers are REALLY going to self=quarantine, for two weeks????
This guy has fallen way down, on any pedestal I ever had him on.
