It’s really kind of fascinating how people can listen to the same speech and come away with such different impressions of what was heard. I definitely heard Trumps suggestion about using disinfectants to fight the v***s by injection of disinfectants inside the body, which could certainly be interpreted as using a syringe to inject something like clorox.

Trumps free wheeling and stream of consciousness manner of speaking does not serve him well when he is trying to appear like he is smart and well informed about issues.

It is easy to check sources on any story/post/news online or in print, just takes a little effort. Everyone should do that for anything that appears controversial, or looks as though it was posted to "divide us", or to paint a party or group as evil, or others as too squeaky clean (the t***h is rarely that simple), and trolls of all types are numerous.

How this re-open deal will work out remains to be seen. Several countries now in the process of trying to re-open have seen new spikes, and we may/may not see the same, time will tell. Our medical/scientific communities are telling us we may see a general spike later this year, and some states/counties may not yet be near the initial spike for their area (remember some did very little to stem what may be coming for them). It may cause us to alter the way we live, but that too remains to be seen.

Ron Desantis by all I can tell so far, appears to be a decent family man and a decent politician and from what I can tell seems genuine, but he too can make mistakes/misteps along with successes (Note - I am a Florida Resident and Independent/NPA V**er) - meaning I have no party affiliation, I v**e for who I consider to be the best candidate, based on performance, not rhetoric. He is not a medical scientist, he is a lawyer/attorney, so he should listen to the medical/scientific community as well as citizens and business owners, and respond in rational ways, as should we all. He is a good public speaker, so he seldom makes huge gaffs, and he "fact checks" fairly well. His other huge challenge now is to fix Florida's Unemployment System/Re-employment System process, the system he inherited from crooked ex-govenor/senator Rick Scott was built to fail, built to underserve, and fail it has, in a most dramatic way.

For Florida, getting through this and the upcoming hurricane season, safely surviving and thriving are goals I support.

Nah. "Society" will moderate temporarily. "Society" MIGHT change greeting habits like cheek kissing, hugs, or shaking hands, but once the C***D stats are accurate and the media reports facts instead of snippets aimed only at fear and Trump-bashing, people will see C***D as it is, a highly infections, mostly asymptomatic, seasonal disease that is particularly able to assail those with health that is already c*********d.

The older population, especially men, might make permanent behavioral changes, but I doubt it, and younger healthy people, statistically, should stop driving before they worry about C***D. The last stats I saw showed C***D was responsible for 0.8% of all deaths of people 15-44 this year, but car incident was at 9%.
