 In the state of Florida alone, there are more than one million active COVID-19 cases. Yes, you heard that right. One million in one state. I actually had to double check the numbers before saying that because it's so unbelievable. But I mean, when you look at the way that the governor of Florida has handled the pandemic, it's to be expected because he has not just bungled the pandemic. It seems as if he's gone out of his way to make matters worse because he's not just refusing to do a mask mandate statewide, but any local government that chooses to enact their own mask mandate to protect their own residents, he's stopped them from doing that. Literally, he's banned mask mandates in the state of Florida. So if a local government wants to enact a mask mandate, technically they can. However, they can't legally enforce that. So he has no interest in containing the spread. You know, he wants the state of Florida to remain open, but yet he doesn't want to do that safely with masks. It's just it's a disaster. And honestly, I feel like what he's doing is tantamount to manslaughter. Thousands of people in Florida are dying and he sits idly by and does absolutely nothing. Just pretends as if COVID-19 isn't a thing. I believe they're going to pass 20,000 deaths in the state of Florida alone due to COVID-19. And he doesn't care at all. But it's even worse than that because he's going out of his way to suppress information related to COVID-19. And he's doing this all that we have of Donald Trump. So as the independent reports, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a stalwart ally of Donald Trump, reportedly tried to suppress negative information about the status of the state's coronavirus pandemic between early September and the 3rd November general election. The South Florida Sun Sentinel revealed the cover-up in a recent investigation. The newspaper found that Mr. DeSantis used his influence to direct the state's Department of Health to stop issuing public statements regarding COVID-19 between the 3rd of September and the 3rd of November. The paper noted that the information suppression began in the run-up to the 2020 election. The investigation alleges that Mr. DeSantis' actions suppressed unfavorable facts, dispensed dangerous misinformation, dismissed public health professionals, and promoted the views of scientific dissenters who supported Mr. DeSantis' response to the virus. Now, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, he basically brushed off. This investigative reportant said, we know this is just a political smear against me. No asshole, you're the one who's playing politics. You are the one who is for purposes of political expediency, suppressing information at the behest of Donald Trump to help him out. So if anyone's playing politics, you're the one who's doing that. And to even do what he did, suppress information, just facts and data about COVID-19, how are people in the state of Florida not calling on him to resign? Like, this is a nationwide scandal. He seems to be wanting to compete for the title of worst governor in the United States. It's a tie between him and the governor of South Dakota currently. But the story actually gets worse because a COVID data scientist named Rebecca Jones stood up to Ron DeSantis and Floridian state officials and accused them of trying to suppress information related to the pandemic and it turns out that she is correct since investigative journalists have confirmed just that. And what happened? Well, as a result, she was fired. But not only that, this also happened to her. She posted this video to Twitter. So a data scientist who was fired for not manipulating data at the behest of her state's governor, all of a sudden has police officers with guns showing up to her home. So if you're confused, she sheds light on the situation. She says at 8 30am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech. They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint. They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids. They took my phone and the computer I use every day to post the case numbers in Florida and school cases for the entire county. They took evidence of corruption at the state level. They claimed it was about a security breach. This was DeSantis. He sent the Gestapo. This is what happens to scientists who do their job honestly. This is what happens to people who speak truth to power. I tell them my husband and my two children are upstairs and then one of them draws his gun on my children. This is DeSantis is Florida. This is an abuse of power if I've ever seen one. I just, I don't even know what to say about this. This is a governor using resources of the state to basically harass someone and shut down an individual who has evidence of corruption. What more is there to be said? The details of the story speaks for itself. Ron DeSantis is a criminal governor. There should be an investigation and a prosecution potentially, but at a minimum, there should be calls for him to resign immediately. I mean, if the corruption and him seizing the hardware that contained evidence of his corruption wasn't enough, just him turning a blind eye as thousands of people in his state die due to the due to a virus that he doesn't seem to care about at all, that should be enough to warrant his resignation or at least calls for it. But I mean, this is happening and it seems as if it's not that controversial. I don't know what to say. I mean, this is a perfect representation of how authoritarian the modern day Republican Party has become.
