Ron DeSantis speaks during a news conference in front of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mobile command center at the Miami Beach Convention Center, last week.

"I am directing the Florida National Guard to create more strike teams to significantly ramp up testing in long-term care facilities," he said at a news conference in Tallahassee. He said the testing would start in South Florida, in facilities where testing hasn't been done yet, and continue"as long as we have enough" test kits.

DeSantis and Fla. Surgeon General Scott Rivkees have declined to disclose which facilities have had positive tests, leading theto obtain that information. The governor's office has sought to quash the suit.

One gloved Ron!

wonder how his authority will trick down to his minions ' .. Florida's Surgeon General being removed from a COVID19 briefing by GovRonDeSantis staff right after saying we'll need to social distance until there is a vaccine.

Like everything else, he should of done it 2-3 months ago. Think how many lives this supposedly pro-life guy could have saved if he had closed down the beaches & his state earlier. But hey, money talks.

BRAIN DEAD, RecallDeSantis

It’s too late baby it’s too late. We won’t forget DeSantis did not do anything while trump played golf and had political rallies in February.

Please don't take them to your wonderful beachs.

is he GovRonDeSantis running out of gloves

GovRonDeSantis has his head so far up his ass, I’m surprised that he knows any of this.

Isn’t he a bit late now? 😞

When is Gov. Ron DeSantis going to report the actual deaths from COVID-19? How much longer will the people of Florida tolerate DeSantis and his suppression of the true number of COVID-19 victims? Why does DeSantis feel he needs to please Trump in this way?

Why worry about them? You’ll be scraping church ladies off the revival floors for the foreseeable future.... Call it Missal Treatment

OUR POOR ELDERLY! This is a travesty happening with our most frail population. Get them the supplies they need!

Too little, too late, too bad!!!

Who does this idiot think he is. A reincarnation of Michael Jackson? It is bad enough to have a stupid excuse for a president. Look at the states with even worse governors. They are all followers of demented thoughts and ideas.

GOP logic:

Poor Florida.

Meanwhile in Florida: This Idiot 😂

Dumbest governor in the US.

What is the rationale behind wearing ONE glove as protection? Tribute to Michael Jackson?

A month later?

Do they have health insurance yet?

Maimi-Dade-Florida is now the 12 largest Corona Virus hotspot in the nation with 7,459 confirmed cases.

Positive infection rate in Florida 20K/21mm=.00095%

Too late you fool.

What's with the 'one' PPE?

He is so inept, people in this state are still going out like nothing is going on, but what we can expect? Most of them are maga idiots.

he looks like Alex jones

Good. Because Florida’s numbers are suspiciously low. Let’s get the real numbers and help save more lives.

He’s full of 💩 trust me, I live here. He’s doing his best to suppress testing, results and “keep the numbers low”

From zero to National Guard in Sixty Seconds.

This dude is a total DOLT.

They have tests?

Calling “charge” after the lines have been overrun.

Another clown in the circus.

After the Miami Herald started investigating 🤔

Love the use of PPE in that pic.

I bet all of them are positive with covid
