The Miami Herald Editorial Board tore into Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' perilously slow response to the coronavirus spread and urged him to 'issue a stay-at-home order for himself.'
editorial board tore into Governor Ron DeSantis' slow response to the coronavirus spread in Florida and urged him to"issue a stay-at-home order for himself."
The scathing editorial cites DeSantis' failure to cancel Spring Break events across the state of Florida and failing to issue a stay-at-home order for weeks as he would"fly around the state" promoting his personal political agenda. Last week, Politifact fact-checked DeSantis after he falsely claimed there hadn't"been a single fatality under 25" as a result of coronavirus, when in fact the CDC has reported thousands of young people have died from the virus.
"[The crisis] might pass more quickly if he simply listens to the health experts, fulfills the needs of local governments, follows the lead of other governors who acted more decisively and earlier on behalf of their constituents and does his very best to do no further harm," they said.
