Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday announced that he is issuing a stay-at-home order for the southern portion of the state as the number of positive coronavirus cases grows.

The order will apply to Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe counties through the middle of May.

"The 'Safer-At-Home' [order] is the right move for southeast Florida," DeSantis said at a press conference at the Hard Rock Stadium, just north of Miami. "This is the time to do the right thing. Listen to all of your local officials."


"We will do this through the middle of May, and then see where we're at," he continued.

There are more than 5,000 positive coronavirus cases in Florida, with the state's department of health reporting 523 new positive cases on Sunday. The four counties included in the stay-at-home order make up over 58 percent of the cases in the Sunshine State, according to The Miami Herald.

The governor also announced a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine on any travelers entering the state from Louisiana, in addition to a mandatory two-week quarantine from the greater New York City area.

My guess he will soon be called racist because he picked the counties with the highest latino population.

We must all shelter in place for the next 2 years, just to be safe.

Why south Florida? Is there something about the demographics that make it particularly at a heightened risk?

This will turn into a who-can-out-stupid-the-next contest.

Mid-May? End of May!

End of May? Mid June!

Mid June? end of June!

Etc etc etc

Why? He can always rescind it. That will be good news. Having to extend it will just be more bad news and criticism. He's banking on the worst will be over by mid May, he rescinds his order and everyone is happy.

Kinda like your parents saying they are grounding you for a month then after two weeks you're ungrounded. You're happy. I prefer that over being grounded for two weeks then find out you're grounded for another two weeks. You're pissed.

A shutdown order for The Villages will show a huge reduction of STDs in the State of Florida, just saying.

P.S. I know the villages isn't in sf.
