Florida governor Ron DeSantis is putting on a clinic in bad decision-making during the coronavirus epidemic.
DeSantis decided today to rescue 49 Floridians off a cruise ship that has been hit hard by coronavirus.
The other 1,600 or so passengers, including 250 Americans and 400 Canadians, will be left on the ship that has already been at sea for more than three weeks.
Here are more details on the ship:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press conference Wednesday his state was willing to accept Floridians on board Holland America cruise ships seeking to disembark in Florida after more than 190 guests and crew reported flu-like symptoms, including eight passengers who tested positive for COVID-19.
