DeSantis underwhelms Britain’s business chiefs

And that is no small thing. Allowing antivirals to be outlawed when he knew better from experience is unconscionable. Egregious.

Hopefully, if there is another pandemic, there’s more pushback. A lot of this Covid stuff is Monday morning quarterbacking. I just hope that society learned a good lesson, and if they try something like this again, we do what the Chinese people did when their government tried to lock them down again.
I thought it was very unfair when the news networks were tallying the death toll in 2020 from Covid and pinning it all on Donald Trump. Yet when more died from Covid under Biden, Biden somehow mysteriously escaped any blame.
It became obvious early on that Covid was being used politically. The first indication of that came when every Trump rally was a super spreader, but any Black Lives Matter riots were more important than Covid lockdowns. A virus does not have any political affiliation.

He was more than 3 years into being president. That's not like Bush getting hit with 9/11 after 8 months in, that's three full years of experience in governing as President, firing and replacing cabinet members and advisors, etc..
I don't think his political experience had anything to do with why he handled that crisis the way he didn't.. You could have put somebody like Steve Forbes in there, who had no political experience either, and he would have handled it completely differently.
The issue was not Donald Trump's lack of political experience. The issue was Donald Trump did not and does not possess consistent any political principles regarding the size and scope of government. He simply doesn't care about that issue at all. So, when the crisis occurred, he happily defaulted to the most expedient route because the size and scope of government was and is a non-issue for him. If it would have happened in the last year of an 8-year presidency, he'd have done the exact same thing.

I would argue the reason there were so few was precisely because of Donald Trump delegating that authority to bureaucrats. That meant that any politician who oppose those measures was swimming uphill against the federal government. Absent the federal government taking those positions, I think a lot more governors would have done what people like Noem and DeSantis did.

Regardless of side... The bare fact that I had to illegally suck horse paste is a sure cause against all of them. And the millions which were denied proper care through the use of antivirals AND DIED is an ironclad reason to deny ALL of them access to levers of power.
