In May, DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/thats-not-science-thats-politics-desantis-rips-cdc-on-school-policy\">accused<\/a> the CDC of playing politics with its guidelines to reopening schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at some of the stuff that they\u2019ve done on school openings, where they\u2019re basically doing the teacher\u2019s union\u2019s bidding, when they say these kids should be masked in summer camp outdoors. I\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s not science, that\u2019s politics,\u201d the governor said at a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur state was predicted to get hit worse on COVID economically than any other state because of our service economy and our tourism base,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd what we were able to do by keeping Florida open, we saved hundreds of thousands of jobs in the restaurant, hotel, hospitality industry. We saved thousands of businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some parts of the country, these businesses are dead. They\u2019re never coming back. This is the heavy hand of government crushing family businesses, ruining jobs and destroying millions of people\u2019s lives. We chose another path in Florida; it was the right path; it was the successful path,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis issued lockdown regulations in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. His order was much less restrictive than those put in place in states such as New York, Michigan, and California, however. He also lifted regulations on individuals and businesses much faster than other governors.<\/p>\n<p>In March last year, Fauci disapproved of DeSantis\u2019 approach to the pandemic and the overall behavior of Florida residents and tourists as beaches and restaurants continued to draw large crowds of young adults. Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-have-been-screaming-on-tv-2-to-5-times-per-night-fauci-wasnt-a-fan-of-desantis-pandemic-response-emails-show\">expressed<\/a> his displeasure in an email to a Florida doctor on March 19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding the bars and beaches, I have been screaming on TV 2 to 5 times per night to tell the younger generation to start taking this seriously,\u201d Fauci wrote. \u201cI am very surprised that Gov. DeSantis has not completely closed the bars, even if they serve food. Take out only. I will bring this up at the Task Force meeting tomorrow. Please take care of yourself.
