YORK CITY AREA AND WE HAVE THE
FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD IN PLACE
AT A NUMBER OF THE AIRPORTS LIKE
MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AND FORT
GOVERNOR RHONDA CENSUS IS
HOLDING A PRESS CONFERENCE IN
TALLAHASSEE, WITH LISTEN AND
NOW LIVE TO THE GOVERNOR.
THEY'RE ASKED TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO THE GUARDSMAN
AND THEY RECEIVE INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN
ORDER TO SELF ISOLATED, THEY
HAVE INFORMATION ON WHO TO
CONTACT SHOULD THEY BE
SYSTEMATIC AND WE ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
WE WILL PROBABLY EXPAND THAT IN
SOME OF THE SMALLER AIRPORTS
BUT CERTAINLY THE MAJOR
AIRPORTS THAT GET THE MOST
TRAFFIC FROM NEW YORK CITY, AND
WHAT WE WILL DO IS WE WILL TAKE
THAT INFORMATION AND SHARE THAT
WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY SO
THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY ARE
KEEPING AN EYE ON FOLKS WHO MAY
BE INFECTED.
THAT I THINK WAS A SMART THING
TO DO, BUT I ALSO KNOW I WAS
TALKING WITH MEMBERS OF THE
PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE
INCLUDING DOCTOR BURKS AND ONE
OF THE FEARS THAT I THINK
THEY'VE HAD IS THEY WERE VERY
COMPLEMENTARY ABOUT THINGS
FLORIDA HAS DONE, PARTICULARLY
OUR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
WHO WORKED VERY HARD FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THIS TO HELP KEEP
COVID-19 IN CHECK, BUT YOU HAVE
ALL THESE MITIGATION EFFORTS
GOING, YOU HAVE ALL THESE
THINGS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE AT
THE STATE LEVEL FOR THE
PRESIDENT'S 15 DAY TO STOP THE
SPREAD, YOU OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WHO HAVE BEEN EVEN
MORE STRINGENT LIKE BROWARD AND
PALM BEACH AND MIAMI-DADE AND A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO
SACRIFICE A LOT OF THINGS TO
TRY TO GET THIS RIGHT.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VIRUS
WAS LIKELY CIRCULATING IN NEW
YORK CITY FOR 3 TO 4 WEEKS, SO
YOU SEE A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE INFECTED, THE PROBLEM
FOR FLORIDA IS WE HAVE A LOT OF
INTERACTION BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN THE NEW YORK CITY AREA
AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA, SO
YOU'VE HAD PEOPLE PROBABLY
UNWITTINGLY AT THE TIME BE
THERE WITH THE LAST COUPLE
WEEKS AND COME TO FLORIDA, SO
TODAY I'M GOING TO BE SIGNING
AN ADDITIONAL ORDER THAT WOULD
REQUIRE TWO THINGS, ANYBODY
TRAVELING FROM THE NEW YORK
CITY AREA TO THE STATE OF
FLORIDA OR WHO HAS TRAVELED IN
THE LAST THREE WEEKS IS GOING
TO NEED TO SELF ISOLATE AND
THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO REPORT
THE CONTACTS THAT THEY'VE HAD,
ANY CLOSE CONTACTS WITH ANYBODY
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND
MAINLY NOTIFYING THE PEOPLE
THEY'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH.
WE THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT
BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE HAD
SOMEONE WHO GOT BACK 10 DAYS
AGO, MAYBE THEY'VE NOT EVEN
SHOWN SYMPTOMS BUT THEY COULD
BE INFECTED AND IF THEY ARE
WORKING WITH FOLKS IN FLORIDA
OR INTERACTING WITH THEM IN
FLORIDA, THAT IS A WAY THAT
THIS VIRUS CAN SPREAD.
THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE AFTER
ALL THE HARD WORK WE DON'T WANT
IT TO NOW GET SEATED AS PEOPLE
FLEE KIND OF THE HOT ZONE AND I
THINK IT'S UNFAIR THAT IF
PEOPLE ARE TOLD TO STAY IN
PLACE AND THEN THEY ARE NOT
FOLLOWING THAT ORDER, MEANWHILE
YOU GOT PEOPLE IN TOWNS LIKE
YOUNGSTOWN OHIO, MEMPHIS,
TENNESSEE, ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY, PEOPLE ARE KIND OF
TOLD TO STAY IN THEIR HOME AND
THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES
AND YET YOU HAVE FOLKS NOW
COMING FROM THE HOTTEST OF THE
HOT STONES FILTERING OUT INTO
THE UNITED STATES A WE ARE
DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT IN
FLORIDA AND I THINK THAT
SOMETHING THAT IS APPROPRIATE.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE ISSUING
OUR SURGEON GENERAL HERE IN
FLORIDA, WE WILL BE ISSUING
ANOTHER HEALTH ADVISOR, HE'S
GOING TO BE ADVISING THAT ALL
INDIVIDUALS AGE 65 OR OLDER ARE
ENCOURAGED TO STAY AT HOME FOR
THE NEXT 14 DAYS TO MINIMIZE
THEIR EXPOSURE AND AS WE'VE
SEEN WITH THIS VIRUS, THE FOLKS
WHO ARE 65+ ARE THE ONES THAT
HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO SUFFER
A NEGATIVE OUTCOME AND THAT IS
DISPROPORTIONATELY SO WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT FATALITIES, SO WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
FOLKS ARE PROTECTED.
I THINK THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN
FROM US FROM THE BEGINNING THAT
IF YOU ARE IN THAT CATEGORY,
AVOID CROWDS, AVOID CLOSE
CONTACT, YOU SHOULD ASSUME THAT
ANYONE YOU MAY COME IN CONTACT
WITH COULD BE INFECTED, SO MAKE
SURE YOU KEEP THAT SAFE
APPROPRIATE SIX-FOOT DISTANCE
AND OBVIOUSLY THE EASIEST WAY
TO DO THAT IS TO SIMPLY STAY AT
HOME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND I
WOULD ALSO SAY IN THE NURSING
HOMES, WE HAVE PUT IN A LOT OF
EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THESE
NURSING HOMES HAVE BEEN
PROTECTED AND THE ASSISTED
LIVING FACILITIES, MANY OF THEM
ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB,
WE'VE HAD ONE PROBLEM IN
BROWARD AND ANOTHER PROBLEM IN
DUVAL COUNTY, WE ARE GETTING
WORD THAT THERE ARE FEW OTHERS
AROUND THE STATE, THAT THERE
HAVEN'T BEEN INCIDENTS YET BUT
HAVEN'T RIGOROUSLY PUT IN THE
REGULATIONS THAT WE ISSUED
EARLY ON SO I WANT TO REITERATE
IF YOU OR SOMEONE OPERATING ONE
OF THOSE FACILITIES, HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOU ARE
PROTECTING THE SENIOR CITIZENS
IN YOUR FACILITIES.
THIS IS THE TIME YOU'VE GOT TO
STAND UP AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU
ARE TAKING ALL NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS.
THE HEALTH ADVISORY WILL APPLY
TO 65+ AND WILL ALSO APPLY TO
THOSE REGARDLESS OF AGE THAT
HAVE A SERIOUS UNDERLYING
MEDICAL CONDITION AND SOME OF
THOSE CONDITIONS ARE ENUMERATED
LIKE CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE,
MODERATE TO SEVERE ASTHMA,
SERIOUS HEART CONDITIONS,
IMMUNO COMP PRESENTATION
COMPENSATION.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AS
WELL, BECAUSE AS WE'VE SEEN,
THE FOLKS WHO MAY BE UNDER 65
WHO HAVE SUFFERED REAL SERIOUS
HOSPITALIZATIONS OR EVEN DEATH
HAVE BEEN PEOPLE THAT USUALLY
HAVE HAD A SERIOUS UNDERLYING
MEDICAL CONDITION.
FINALLY, WE WANT TO EXPAND ON
SOME OF OUR, WHAT WE'VE DONE
WITH SOME OF THESE LARGE
GROUPS.
WE BANNED MANY OF THESE GROUPS
ARE BEACHES BUT WE DIDN'T DO
THAT FOR TOWN SQUARES SO I'M
GOING TO EXPAND THAT GUIDE AND
SO CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE CDC
SAYS, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY
SOCIAL GROUP OF 10 PEOPLE OR
MORE SO THAT MEANS JUST BECAUSE
IT'S A PRIVATE RESIDENCE YOU
SHOULD NOT RIGHT NOW BE HAVING
50 PEOPLE FOR A PARTY.
YOU SEE THESE IMAGES AROUND THE
COUNTRY, STATES ON LOCKDOWN
HAVING THESE MASSIVE BLOCK
PARTIES IN PLACES LIKE
CALIFORNIA, FOR US HERE, WE
WANT TO RESPECT THAT GUIDANCE,
WE WILL END UP BEING SAFER IN
THE LONG RUN IF WE DO, SO THAT
GUIDANCE WOULD BE FOR ANY TYPE
OF SOCIAL OR RECREATIONAL
GROUP, LESS THAN 10, OTHERWISE
IT WILL VIOLATE THE DIRECTIVE,
AND WE WILL ALSO DIRECT, AND I
KNOW BUSINESSES HAVE WORKED TO
DO THIS AND WE WORK WITH THEM
TO DO THAT, BUT WE REALLY NEED
ALL BUSINESSES, ANY
NONESSENTIAL BUSINESS TO BE
PROMOTING TELECOMMUTING, I
THINK THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO
HAVE AT LEAST 50 PERCENT OF
YOUR WORKFORCE WHO IS
TELECOMMUTING, THAT WILL HELP
REDUCE DENSITY IN THE WORKPLACE
AND ULTIMATELY HELP KEEP PEOPLE
SAFE, SO THOSE ARE OUR
CONTINUING EFFORTS TO BE ABLE
TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE HERE IN THE
STATE OF FLORIDA, I WANT TO
THANK ALL THE FOLKS IN THE
MEDICAL PROFESSION WHO ARE
WORKING VERY HARD, WE ARE
PUSHING OUT MORE AND MORE PPE
AS WE GET IT, WE'VE PUT OUT A
LOT OF THE N-95 MASKS AND WE
ARE PUTTING OUT MORE AND MORE
EVERY DAY BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS AND WE WANT
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO STAY SAFE
. NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF, STAY AWAY FROM
CROWDS, STAY AT HOME AS MUCH AS
YOU CAN AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS
FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR
COMMUNITY.
WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE A
FEW QUESTIONS.
WE ARE TAKING THE INFORMATION
SO THEY WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A
RESIDENCE THEY WILL BE SELF
ISOLATING IN AND OBVIOUSLY YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP
ACCORDINGLY.
I THINK MOST FOLKS UNDERSTAND
THAT THEY NEED TO DO THIS AND I
THINK MOST FOLKS ARE GOING TO
BE COMPLIANT, BUT THERE IS
TEETHÃTO BE ABLE TO HOLD
SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE IF THEY
DON'T.
HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH
TRAVELERS COMING IN?
WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT, WE
ARE TRYING ANY INITIAL NEW YORK
DESTINATION TO GO THROUGH, BUT
I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS
THAT'S GENERALLY TRUE YOU WOULD
HAVE TO DO, BUT WHAT HAPPENED
WAS ONCE THIS WHOLE EPIDEMIC
REALLY STARTED TO FLARE AND
THINGS STARTED SHUTTING DOWN,
THE FLIGHTS REALLY WENT DOWN.
THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF FLIGHTS
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN
THE CHILDREN PLACED ORDER WAS
ISSUED IN NEW YORK, THERE WAS A
HUGE DEMAND SO THEY WENT FROM
DOING 20 FLIGHTS TO FLORIDA TO
DOING 120, THEN 160 AND THEN
YESTERDAY THEY DID 197 FLIGHTS.
THAT IS NOW GOING BACK DOWN AND
OBVIOUSLY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
PEOPLE THERE TO BE ABLE TO
POLICE THAT, BUT THIS WAS AN
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THE
SHELTER IN PLACE ORDER AND
THAT'S PART OF THE CHALLENGE, I
MEAN THESE MEASURES HAVE NEVER
BEEN DONE IN MODERN AMERICAN
SOCIETY LIKE THIS, WHEN THEY
ARE PUT IN PLACE, THE QUESTION
IS MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE
WOULD CHANGE BEHAVIOR AND DO
SOMETHING, SO THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE WHEN THAT ORDER CAME
DOWN, PEOPLE STARTED FLYING AND
DISPERSING ACROSS AND PROBABLY
MANY OF THEM DROVE DIFFERENT
PLACES AS WELL, THOSE FLIGHTS
BECAME THE HOTTEST TICKET AND
THERE WAS JUST AN INORDINATE
AMOUNT OF THEM.
IT IS MOSTLY SOUTH FLORIDA, BUT
I WOULD SAY WE SAW 30 TO 40
FLIGHTS A COUPLE DAYS DIRECT TO
ORLANDO AND SO WE WILL MAKE
SURE TO WORK WITH THOSE FOLKS
AS WELL.
I THINK IT WAS JUST A GENERAL
UPDATE, I MEAN I GIVE THEM THE
UPDATE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
DOING THE EXECUTIVE ORDER, I
TOLD HIM THERE WAS A CONCERN
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TASK FORCE
AND OBVIOUSLY IN MY
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT HOW PEOPLE
MAY BE FLEEING THE HOT ZONE AND
BRINGING THE VIRUS TO FLORIDA
AND THEY AGREED AND THEY AGREED
WITH THE MEASURES AND WE'VE ALL
JUST AGREED TO SAY LET'S GET
THROUGH THIS, WE WILL GET TO
THE 15 DAYS, THERE WILL BE SOME
TYPE OF PIVOT, WE WILL LOOK TO
SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE.
I AM SOMEBODY THAT BELIEVES
THAT IT'S NOT REALLY, I MEAN IT
WILL BE A NEGATIVE ON THE
ECONOMY, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE YOU
ARE SNAPPING INTO RECESSION
BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH
BUSINESS.
IT'S KIND OF JUST THE ECONOMY
JUST KIND OF STOPPED FOR A
LITTLE BIT AND THE QUESTION IS,
CAN WE JUST GET IT TO START AND
GET GOING AND WE WILL SEE WHAT
THAT LOOKS LIKE.
I WANT TO GET BACK AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I THINK SOME
OF THE EFFECTS OF SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PUT OUT OF
WORK AND WHO HAVE BEEN LAID
OFF, NO ONE IS REALLY TALKING
ABOUT THEM, BUT YOU KNOW, THOSE
ARE FOLKS WHO WERE DOING THE
RIGHT THING AND NOW THEY ARE IN
SITUATIONS WHERE THEIR FAMILY'S
FUTURE MAY BE IN JEOPARDY.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THEM IN MIND,
THESE UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS, WE
WOULD TYPICALLY GET OUR
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN FLORIDA,
THE LAST TIME BEFORE THIS
HAPPENED WAS 2.8 PERCENT.
WE WOULD GET 250, 500, 1000, IT
WOULD VERY, ON IMPLEMENT CLAIMS
EVERY DAY.
THESE NUMBERS WE'VE SEEN
LATELY, 21,000 UNEMPLOYMENT
CLAIMS YESTERDAY, 18,000 THE
DAY BEFORE ON MARCH 20, ANOTHER
21,000, SO THIS IS A HUGE
INCREASE AND IT JUST SHOWS YOU
HOW SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
DISLOCATED.
WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING THEM
THE RELIEF, WE WANT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO DO STUFF AS WELL,
BUT THAT'S NOT ONLY GOING TO
HAVE AN ECONOMIC COST, THAT
WILL HAVE THE HEALTH COSTS AND
LESS WE WORK HARD TO REMEDY
THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE SOME
PEOPLE WHO SAY THIS VIRUS IS
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, AND I
WAS NEVER IN THAT CAMP BECAUSE
I SAID BACK IN JANUARY WAS A
SERIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT
AND WE HAD ANOTHER COUPLE
PEOPLE WHO.
I THINK BOTH OF THOSE ARE FALSE
CHOICES.
REALLY WE'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THE VIRUS AND
THERE IS NO WAY A NINE-MONTH
SHUTDOWN WOULD POSSIBLY BE
SUSTAINABLE SO I THINK THE
QUESTION IS GOING TO BE, LET'S
WORK TO BLUNT THE FORCE OF THE
VIRUS, LET'S PROTECT THOSE
FOLKS WHO COULD BE MOST IN
JEOPARDY OF REALLY NEGATIVE
HEALTH IMPACTS, BUT LET'S ALSO
GET SOCIETY FUNCTIONING SO THAT
THE OVERALL PUBLIC HEALTH IS
BETTER.
I REALLY WORRY ABOUT SUICIDE,
DRUG ABUSE, ALCOHOL ABUSE,
DOMESTIC ABUSE, CHILD ABUSE.
IF THIS IS ALLOWED TO GO FOR
MONTHS AND MONTHS ON END, SO I
THINK YOU CAN DO THIS IN A WAY
THAT IS GOING TO REALLY
CONTINUE TO LET US MAKE PROGRESS
ON THE VIRUS BUT WE WILL ALSO
ALLOW THE SOCIETY TO FUNCTION
AGAIN.
WITH THE FLU, INFLUENZA KILLS
PEOPLE EVERY YEAR, MOST PEOPLE
DIDN'T GET A FLU SHOT, MOST
PEOPLE SHAKE HANDS, THEY DON'T
DO ANY OF THAT STUFF, NOW
PEOPLE ARE CONSCIOUS ABOUT
THAT, THEY ARE CONSCIOUS ABOUT
HANDSHAKE AND WHAT THEY TOUCH,
THEY ARE MORE RELIGIOUS ABOUT
WASHING THEIR HANDS AND THAT
REALLY HAS A HUGE IMPACT ACROSS
SOCIETY.
I THINK YOU WILL SEE THE FLU
SEASON IS KIND OF AT AN END BUT
I THINK AS THESE KEEP UP I
THINK YOU ARE GOING TO SEE LESS
INFLUENZA.
WE'VE TOLD THE AGENCY HAS PUSH
AS MANY PEOPLE TO WORKING FROM
HOME AS YOU CAN, WE THINK
THAT'S A GOOD POLICY, I KNOW
MANY AGENCIES HAVE DONE IT, WE
CLEARLY HAVE A NEED FOR
ESSENTIAL WORKERS, PARTICULARLY
IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH SPEAR AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SO WE ARE
GOING TO NEED TO HAVE THEIR
HANDS ON DECK, BUT CERTAINLY
ANY OF THE NONESSENTIALS WE
WOULD SAY KEEP AS MANY HOME AS
YOU CAN AND TRY TO REDUCE ANY
DENSITY IN THE WORKFORCE.
WE HAVE A BIG DIVERSE STATE,
THE VIRUS IS IMPACTING PARTS
MUCH DIFFERENTLY SO LET'S HAVE
TAILORED APPROACHES, SURGICAL
APPROACHES THAT ARE GOING TO
WORK BEST FOR THOSE REGIONS, SO
WE'VE WORKED WITH PALM BEACH
AND BROWARD TO IMPOSE
SIGNIFICANT MITIGATION MEASURES.
SO YOU HAVE THAT AREA WHICH IS
FIGHTING THIS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT THAN SAY NORTHWEST
FLORIDA OR SOME OF THE OTHER
PLACES IN THE STATE WHICH WE
ARE STILL TESTING, IDENTIFYING,
BUT WE ARE CONTAINING BECAUSE
YOU HAVEN'T HAD WIDESPREAD
COMMUNITY SPREADING OF THE
VIRUS, SO I THINK THAT'S MORE
OF A PRUDENT APPROACH BECAUSE
THESE BLUNT MEASURES, YOU
WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THEM ON A
COMMUNITY WHERE THE VIRUS
HASN'T SPREAD TO THE COMMUNITY,
I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS
THERE'S A LOT OF NEGATIVE
IMPACTS FROM THOSE BLUNT
MEASURES.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO OUT OF
BUSINESS, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
LOSE THEIR JOBS.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A PEOPLE IN
THEIR LIVES AND THAT IS
SOMETHING WE SHOULD NOT DO
FLIPPANTLY, SO SOME OF THE
MEASURES HAVE BEEN TOUGH AND
WE'VE PUT IN EVERYTHING THE CDC
HAS SAID, I HAVE PUT IN
STATEWIDE.
REMEMBER THE CDC HAS NOT SAID
DO A STATEWIDE LOCKDOWN AND I
ALSO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE
OTHER STATES THAT HAVE DONE IT
AND I SEE MASSIVE NONCOMPLIANCE
AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW
EFFECTIVE IT IS.
IF YOU ARE DOING A BIG BLOCK
PARTY IN CALIFORNIA DURING A
LOCKDOWN, WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER
TO JUST GO TO WORK?
YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO
TRANSMIT THE VIRUS LESS IN THE
OFFICE THEN YOU ARE WITH A
BUNCH OF DRUNK IDIOTS IN A
BLOCK PARTY WITH EVERYONE
HAVING A GOOD TIME SO I JUST
THINK YOU'VE GOT TO THINK THESE
THINGS THROUGH.
WE'VE BEEN WILLING TO WORK WITH
ANY OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES,
BUT I THINK IT HAS BEEN A
SURGICAL APPROACH, IT'S BEEN AN
APPROACH THAT HAS BEEN IN
CONSULTATION WITH THESE FOLKS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND I THINK
WE CAN TAILOR IT ACCORDINGLY,
BUT I DEFINITELY THINK SOME OF
THE MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN
DONE, EVEN STATEWIDE, WHEN HAVE
THEY EVER BEEN DONE IN FLORIDA
BEFORE?
THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THE
GOVERNOR SHOULD BE A DICTATOR
AND JUST ORDER EVERYONE
IMPRISONED IN THEIR HOMES THAT
I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE AN
EFFECTIVE APPROACH BUT IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT WARRANTED IN
CERTAIN PARTS OF THE STATE SO
EVERYONE IS DOING THEIR PART
AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE
A BETTER APPROACH.
I THINK YOU NEED TO SUPPORT
LOCAL BUSINESSES, SO FOR
EXAMPLE THERE IS NO IN DINING
RESTAURANTS FOR THE CDC'S
GUIDANCE, SO THEY ARE OPEN FOR
TAKE-OUT AND PEOPLE WILL GO IN
AND GRAB THAT AND DO IT,
SOMETIMES THERE'S A LONGER LINE
WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN IF
YOU SAT PEOPLE APART BUT THAT'S
ANOTHER STORY, BUT AT THE END
OF THE DAY, YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE, PARTICULARLY MOM
AND POPS, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
INDEFINITELY SO SOME OF THEM
ARE JUST BARELY STAYING AFLOAT,
SOME OF THEM MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
STAY AFLOAT.
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS BUY A GIFT
CERTIFICATE FROM SOME OF THESE
PLACES, ORDER FOOD FROM SOME OF
THESE PLACES, UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY ARE BEING NEGATIVELY
IMPACTED THROUGH NO FAULT OF
THEIR OWN, THEY ARE TAKING A
MAJOR FINANCIAL HIT FOR THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE REST
OF SOCIETY, SO ANYTHING YOU CAN
DO TO HELP WITH THAT I THINK
WOULD BE GOOD AND I'M GOING TO
LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO MOST
BOTH PERSONALLY BUT I THINK
ALSO WAS ELECTED OFFICIALS THE
PARTIES NEED TO BE GIVEN SONG
GOING TO BE PUSHING THE STATE
PARTY TO DO SOME STUFF AND THEN
