Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis refuse to social distance during outing despite recent exposure to COVID-19
Cases of coronavirus in Florida also spiked on the very same day.
Vice President Mike Pence, who recently was exposed to coronavirus through his infected spokeswoman, Katie Miller, didn’t seem to care if he could potentially spread it to others, as he flaunted his mask-free and social distancing-free lunch with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (who also fires scientists for refusing to delete coronavirus data that doesn’t support his own political agenda) yesterday. And this ocurred on the VERY SAME DAY coronavirus cases spiked in Florida.

Except that endangering the lives of the people around them isn’t funny.
Pence and Governor Ron Desantis walking around a burger bar with no masks, trying to create this veiled sense of normalcy, is laughable. #WearAMask pic.twitter.com/JCIrO0H6Nm

Sounds like exactly what top health experts are warning us NOT to do.
VP Pence & Florida Gov. DeSantis visited a somewhat crowded Beth’s Burger Bar in Orlando today. Pence was’t practicing social distancing & nobody appeared to be wearing a mask. The pool reporter called it βchaoticβ and said many local press, patrons & officials not wearing masks.

DeSantis spits lots of microscopic spit particles into the air as he embarrassingly tries discredit the scientist he fired for not manipulating data for him–even though she previously had received accolades for her work.
DeSantis is lying. Jones did design the website from scratch, she was profiled in the media for it. Dr. Birx of the CDC said she spent 5 hours on the site and marveled at how good it is. Jones is an expert in geographical information systems (GIS). https://t.co/F8AIVbIxuL
