You could see they\u2019re jumping on cars, having a lot of fun, and they will all soon be very, very ill. There you go. You know, health officials are frustrated because they spent the last year trying to educate people about the importance of wearing masks and social distance. Unfortunately, explaining science to people in Florida is like explaining Zoom to your turtle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Super Bowl for the Ages, Maskless Celebrations &amp; Fighting on The Bachelor!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dAjeAbYWPrQ?start=263&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Kimmel has slammed Floridians vis-\u00e0-vis the coronavirus pandemic. In April, Kimmel attacked Floridians and Governor Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are getting restless, especially people who aren\u2019t too bright,\u201d he said. \u201cIn Florida on Saturday, I saw the hashtag #Floridamorons was trending and I thought, \u2018Well, that could mean a lot of things.\u2019 But what it meant was this: the governor of Florida reopened the beach in Jacksonville and of course no one followed the rules. Fortunately there are no old people living in Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In that same monologue, Kimmel attacked people who protested stay-at-home orders, suggesting that they had a death wish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get that people need to go back to work. I do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the point of stay-at-home is to get a lid on this so we&nbsp;can&nbsp;get back to work, and then stay at work. I\u2019m starting to think that these characters who support Trump might be suicidal. They seem to be fighting hardest for the things that will kill them. They want the freedom to gather in large groups during an epidemic. They want guns. They want pollution. I figured it out. They want to die, and they\u2019re taking us down with them. It\u2019s like if the Titanic was headed towards the iceberg, and half of the passengers were like, \u2018Can you please speed this thing up?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s Quarantine Monologue \u2013 Trump Encourages Stay at Home Protests\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ego7_Y5DECw?start=158&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>While Kimmel ridiculed Florida and its residents from his perch in California, The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Florida is far outperforming California in terms of handling the virus:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>At least 119 new coronavirus deaths and 5,737 new cases were reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/us\/florida-coronavirus-cases.html\">in Florida<\/a> on Feb. 8. \u2026 As of Tuesday morning, there have been at least 1,783,712 cases and 27,814 deaths in Florida since the beginning of the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At least 288 new coronavirus deaths and 13,586 new cases were reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/us\/california-coronavirus-cases.html\">in California<\/a> on Feb. 8.
