43. When they tell you to evacuate....

fucking evacuate. I'll never understand why anyone would endanger their lives and the lives of others by refusing to leave.

There is absolutely no good reason to stay behind with something like that hurricane bearing down on you. Any adverse situation can be overcome to get yourself out of harm's way.

DeSantis hid Covid-19 deaths in Florida. sop Oct 2022 #24

Yes, indeed. As I just pointed out to someone defending DeSantis for reasons totally unclear. hlthe2b Oct 2022 #30

Again - not the same thing at all brooklynite Oct 2022 #31

Lying as a defense for incompetence and irresponsible decisions.. whether COVID-19 response or hlthe2b Oct 2022 #35

Past is prologue. DeSantis did everything possible to undercount COVID-19 deaths, after all. hlthe2b Oct 2022 #26

Well if they are undercounting it's a good bet they are covering up evidence hadEnuf Oct 2022 #54

The evidence is the bodies. The advantage of the undercount would be political (but stupid). nt Samrob Oct 2022 #105
