DeSantis has gone well beyond ignoring the problem. He is actively trying to obstruct anyone in Florida — businesses, schools — from addressing the problem
CNN, 3/17: “After a year of criticism by health experts, mockery from comedians and blistering critiques from political rivals, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is standing unabashedly tall among the nation's governors on the front lines of the coronavirus fight.”
"Everyone told me I was wrong," DeSantis said in a fundraising appeal on Tuesday, drawing attention to his defiance against the pandemic. "I faced continued pressure from radical Democrats and the liberal media, but I refused to back down. It's clear: Florida got it right."
