I sent this letter to Florida Governor DeSantis:
-------
Dear Governor DeSantis,
Fear is the real pandemic. Serious cases of coronavirus per capita are a statistical zero. And yet we have shut down our economy as if the Black Death had swept in to kill half the population. With the successful treatment protocol of hydroxychloroquine + azithromicin + zinc, if given early, the danger is further reduced from near zero to near absolute zero, per capita. It is time to end the panic.
America and the world were spooked by China's Hubei quarantine and by Italy's medical failures. We were further spooked by wild overestimates from epidemiology models. Our initial reaction, the purpose of which was to prevent our hospitals from being overwhelmed, was understandable and correct. But enough time has passed to reassess. Either the disease is not as virulent as was first thought or our social and physical environment have minimized its potency. Our hospitals have not only not been overwhelmed, massive bed vacancies have lead to staff furloughs. What is certain is that it is time to end the panic.
I urge you to immediately end the shutdown. Let Florida get back to work. Open the restaurants. Open the stores. Open the schools. Open everything before it's too late; before bankruptcies destroy people's fortunes and futures. That will be an economic pandemic worse than the Great Depression. One that government will have caused. I urge you to end the shutdown before the people decide that their government is the real threat and respond with civil unrest.
It Is Time To End The Panic.
Nice job on your letter!
Thank you
Fear was very palpable a month ago when shoppers with packed shopping carts formed lines at the checkstands that stretched all the way to the back wall of our local Costco. But now that the fear is subsiding, public support for the lockdowns will, hopefully, collapse.
I may steal this letter,captain. Mine to “Wimpie” Abbott seem to come out laced with too much profanity.
Excellent letter.
My governor is a pole smoker with a “husband”.

You’re afraid of fear.
Who is paying you? What do you do for a living? FRee Republic needs to know.
The Marxist State Media pimps and whores have generated a fake fear in people with possible heart or stroke conditions such that they are afraid of going to the emergency room for fear of getting the virus and dying. This fear was generated by the Marxist State Media’s constant showing of emergency room stuff full and reporting that EMTs were to ignore heart or stroke related calls or if made not to resuscitate the victim. And yet hospitals are laying off personnel because of a lack of clients. The nightly MSM Death Porn Reports.
