We are not shutting down this country.

What do you want him to do? The vaccine will be here in a month. What else do you want?

It’s these damn people that have to eat. LoL. There will be no complete shutdown. It hasn’t worked anywhere, Biden doesn’t have the authority to do so and people wouldn’t go along with it.

People have to shop and get medical attention. Not going to happen.

Now that Biden has been selected pResident, these numbers should begin to plummet. He made that promise so now he needs to deliver. The media needs to continue their panic campaign, which has noticeably STOPPED since Nov. 3.

DeSantis instituted various closures/restrictions at certain points over the past 8 months.

He may not go “full” but he picks and chooses his oppression like all other politicians.

Maybe if we had had a real leader when this whole thing started it would be better, but we had Trump.

I'm wondering where this corner is that we were supposed to be rounding since March.

Biden has a task force!

And his task force will lock up all forms of 1st amendment mass gathering superspreader events

It’s for your safety.

Yes and he opened up everything. I'd rather live in Florida than deal with Cuomo in NY.

Exactly, right?

I mean vocal posters are proclaiming Biden is president ... why aren't they screaming at him about COVID right now?

Probably the same reason they were out slobbering over each other yesterday in gigantic petri dishes disguised as celebratory rallies - they know the COVID panic was an election tool just like everyone else with a brain.
