I have been fortunate to spend my winters in Florida for the last 12 years, especially during this pandemic since I have been in a state that did not shut down everything. Instead Gov. DeSantis used common sense and the science to reopen this state. Iâm 82 years old, but I was able to go to the grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, walk on the beach, play golf, ride my bicycle, walk in my neighborhood and where appropriate wear a mask and social distance. I havenât felt like I have been in prison like most everyone up north under the strict lockdowns of mostly Democratic governors who seem to believe they need to show how much power they have and who made some very bad decisions which killed thousands and caused more thousands to die because they could not receive medical care for serious medical problems other than the coronavirus.
