During Joe Biden’s national address this week, he said that if Americans don’t continue to follow CDC guidelines and advice from people like Dr. Fauci, that America may have to take more restrictive measures again.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reacted to this by calling it “insane.”
Millions of Americans agree.

DeSantis to Biden: Thought of reinstating COVID-19 restrictions ‘insane’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday blasted President Biden’s warning that the U.S. could need to reinstate certain coronavirus restrictions if the public does not stay “vigilant” about defeating COVID-19.
“To even contemplate doing any type of lockdown, honestly it’s insane,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Florida, touting the state’s efforts to administer vaccines to the elderly and other populations.
“That’s not gonna happen in the state of Florida,” the governor continued, referring to reinstating restrictions. “We’re gonna continue doing what works, but under no circumstances would we entertain anything of the sort.”
Biden has repeatedly vowed to not lock down the country but warned in a prime-time address Thursday night that some restrictions may have to be revisited if current downward trends change and the virus resurges.
