Coronavirus is killing us in Florida, Gov. DeSantis. Act like you give a damn | Miami Herald Editorial
Friday, DeSantis mounted the bully pulpit to present House Speaker Jose Oliva, with a baseball bat inscribed with the words “Slayer of the healthcare industrial complex.”It was a sophomoric bit of messaging on any day. It was inexcusably tone-deaf when the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in Florida topped 500. At least 10 people had died since the crisis began.
In Indiana, Pence’s home state, a hospital chain is begging the public to sew face masks for use by its overwhelmed and underresourced staff. The hospitals’ Facebook post includes a video, pattern and instructions. In Georgia and California, the people who play doctors on TV are donating the contents of their costume and props departments to their real-life role models who have been told by our government to improvise essential safety gear using bandanas, scarves, and paper napkins.
He must spearhead a plan to help the abruptly out-of-work. DeSantis made a decent start by eliminating the requirement that people seeking unemployment benefits must actively be looking for a job. Now, he must raise the abysmally low payment rate. In Florida, unemployment can reach a measly maximum of $275 per week, for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks. In high-cost South Florida, that’s a joke. In fact, according to FileUnemployment.
Out of workThere are nearly 400,000 people employed in Florida hotels and businesses that support the hotel industry who are out of a job, according to data released by the American Hotel & Lodging Association. That number will soar when those employed in just about every other industry hard hit by coronavirus closures lose their jobs, too.
