If there is one location where the Democrats are in disarray is the State of Florida. First they selected a meth head to run for governor and failed. They only managed to get one elected executive position with a candidate that “promised” liberalizing pot and controlling guns and she has been a bust. And then in the last elections, not only the hard vote overcame the margin of cheating by 300,000 units, but the Democrats actually lost seats in the Florida Legislature. The the Kung Flu hits and the Republican governor decides to buck the recommendation of shutting down people and business in favor of a softer approach and pretty much declare almost any business “essential” with the results that we are not only not worse than other States that clamped down hard, but actually doing somewhat better.

The hate campaign against DeSantis seems not to be working either. We have covered here how according to the legacy media, he has not made one single right decision since the pandemic started and even accused him of fudging the numbers because a lying sexual predator and stalker said so.  One second they were denouncing him for allowing Publix supermarkets to distribute the vaccine only to have to shut up when the Biden Harris administration announces that they will allow WalMart to do the same.

So what can be done to reign in this renegade state? The White House has a possible solution: Choke it by restricting travel. Kill its tourism industry.

The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.

Outbreaks of the new variants — including a highly contagious one first identified in the United Kingdom, as well as others from South Africa and Brazil that scientists worry can evade existing vaccines — have lent urgency to a review of potential travel restrictions within the United States, one federal official said.

Discussions in the administration over potential travel restrictions do not target a specific state but focus on how to prevent the spread of variants that appear to be surging in a number of states, including Florida and California.

White House looks at domestic travel restrictions as COVID mutation surges in Florida

Here is the funny part: These new mutations have not been proved to be any deadlier than the original version.

Apart from its increased ability to escape recognition by the immune system, E484K makes Sars-Cov-2 more infectious by binding closer to the viral “receptor” in human cells. Whether it leads to more severe disease is not known.

What we know about the most troublesome Covid mutations

I really do not see the shutting down of travel to Florida happening. First, it would kill what’s left of the Airline industry and outside the environmental idiots, I doubt the White House wants to deal with the cessation of all air travel, including worldwide travel because the airlines cease to exist. Second, a lot of travel to Florida is vehicular. Shutting down the roads could be done, but Congress is already looking like the Green Zone with military and metal walls surrounding the Capitol and I imagine the last thing they want in the air or flying through social media would be I-95 at the Florida-Georgia border blocked by Humvees and concertina wire under the watchful eye of military personnel.  It would validate everything most Republicans and Conservatives have been saying for a long while now: The Fascist wear “D” next to their names.
