You're right. Some businesses might see a crazy amount of customers though. Common sense is not so common. Maybe its just the initial rush of being able to go back to bars and restaurants and that will cool off but who knows? With the summer coming, you know people want to be outside having fun. Not sitting at home hoping for a virus to pass.

I get it though. Businesses lost a lot of money during this time. Its easy to say from a distance "limit your customers" but the greater good should be obvious here.

Lets hope its being enforced (i doubt it will be) and it should be that way across the country.

Talk about hilariously misguided.

At least someone gets it that consumer demand is the only thing that will help the economy through this. Hard to do that with so many businesses that will lack customers and 36 million people out of work.

I would have waited u til June 1 but I’m ok with it as well as long as you are cautious and not irresponsible towards others.

Now the old people over 60 should stay at home until a vaccine.

LOL That's a joke right?

You're right. Closures aren't enough. What we need to do is physically separate Florida from Georgia and Alabama and let it float away into the Atlantic or Gulf of Mehico.

Good to see a governor not paralyzed or power hungry enough by this virus to actually care about the long term future of his people. Yep, good to see a governor who clearly puts people before profit.

Who exactly of the 777 diagnosed yesterday are expendable ? Asking for a friend with aging parents.

Too bad no one said that there would be a rise in cases when things began reopening.

Oh wait.

Again in a state with over 20 million people , 777 positive cases of the virus should not be enough to Cause another statewide shutdown . You forget most of those cases likely don’t require hospitalizations
