NEW: Florida Rep. Donna Shalala says the “virus is out of control” in her state as COVID-19 cases surge. “The lack of leadership in the White House and in our governors’ office, they simply have not hit this with a hammer … they opened too soon.”

"The residents here are terrified, and I'm terrified for the first time in my career because there's a lack of leadership," Rep. Donna Shalala, D-Fla., said Sunday."We simply have not gotten our arms around this."Rep. Donna Shalala speaks during a rally with Venezuelans living in Miami, Feb. 1, 2020.

"The real thing we need to do is we need to close down again," said Shalala."I said four months ago, if we don't do this right, we're going to have to close down again. That's our worst nightmare, and we're going to have to do that in Florida.

GovofCO Turns out wearing a mask was partisan.

And, GovofCO, I beleive you avoided answering the question about this being too politicized.

NEWS FLASH: Jared Polis does not ask to enter your home, he does not care how you feel when he watches you sleep at night, he does not care how he looks as the perpetrator of mass surveilance. The invisible enemy, according to Jared, is that which is constitutionally protected.

GovofCO No, it doesn't make it less likely that any of those things will happen. That's a great soundbite, but it's not true for Coloradoans. We have been following the rules and school isn't returning. Work isn't returning. Our death rate continues to stay low. Stop the politics.

GovofCO 👏😷

GovofCO Businesses have been shuttered and will continue because of your Executive orders, lock downs, restrictions, fear mongering, etc!! Stop the Madness. Mental heath & health in general are at risk due to your ignorance! 2008 studies show this

GovofCO

GovofCO He doesn’t decide OUR FREEDOMS!!!!!!!!!

FEAR TACTICS - this guy is a commie

GovofCO Ticket to more freedom? Sounds like words inspired by the dictator playbook. Mean while Denver becomes a war zone like Portland.

GovofCO All of these statements are patently false. Please show a single iota of proof supporting these claims GovofCO. Masks have NEVER been proven to reduce the spread of a virus, this is about power and mindless compliance, not about health. Please prove me otherwise.

GovofCO How was the interview from your mansion when you let YOUR city be destroyed You ARE WORTHLESS!

GovofCO FYI, the restaurant in Castle Rock you went after earlier this year is going out of business taking with its closing many of the hopes and dreams of its owners.

GovofCO You opened salons. We actyhave to touch people. I was happy to get back to work. Grateful. 2 months in, I’m back home. Waiting for test results!

GovofCO BS. Masks = tyranny PERIOD. But this isnt about masks, its about the vaccine. I wanna be proactive and clear about this. Mandate it all you want but you will have to send police into my home to hold me down and stick the needle in my arm. There is no other way I will comply.

GovofCO Where is your mask

GovofCO Hey Polis. Since wearing masks to Home Depot, etc. makes us safe...I guess voting by mail is no longer necessary......? We should have fair voting this fall. Way to go.

GovofCO Yeah, mandatory and freedom in the same sentence- only idiots believe this crap.

GovofCO I only she a purple shirt on Jared.

GovofCO What does not serving alcohol after 10 pm have to do with anything? You're going to get sued for overstepping your boundaries. Control Control Control

If masks work how come Denver is a hotspot dispite having a mask mandate since may 5th 🤔 BurnYourMask

GovofCO And then you make last call at 10, you are a power hungry smug asshole that will be one and done thank god...

Did we just become slaves? jaredpolis said masks are freedom. Insensitive words considering the racial movement. But what do you expect from a KKK member.

GovofCO SheriffTeller sounds a dog whistle to MAGA and they abuse people on the streets of Colorado now? ACLUofColorado CNNPolitics PoliceBrutalityPandemic

GovofCO This clown GovofCO says that a few people sitting around a bar is the reason for the increase in cases, but fails to mention anything about the majority of protestors being in the age range of 20-29 gathering by the thousands.... Your data is biased and your orders are a joke.

GovofCO Horrible Governor.

GovofCO You have crippled cops from doing their job and it has empowered Antifa and BLM to attack citizens in Denver! You are a disgraceful Governor! Stop this mayhem and mob rule!

GovofCO Read the statement that tyrant Jared Polis released with this medical tyranny which states that those with a health condition are exempt. Why are those with a health condition exempt? Because masks are a health risk. Not just to those with a medical condition; to ALL. facemasks

GovofCO Masks are ineffective, deprive one of fresh oxygen and force one to breathe exhaled CO2 causing hypoxia, hypercapnia, high blood pressure, etc. Masks trap pathogens which multiply causing Legionnaire’s/lung infections. Masks suppress the immune system and prime one for illness.

kimbal Where a mask I save lives this is one good effect tool

I was in the hospital for 3 days in April, 1 and 1/2 days on a ventilator (not for Covid). It sucked, recovery sucked. I don’t want to go back because someone doesn’t feel like wearing a mask. Please wear a mask in public - most people I see in Colorado are already - thank you!

GovofCO I don’t entirely agree with masks being the best way to fight this, but I’ll go along for 30 days as you suggest. (It is only 30 days, right?) Also, at least you didn’t send infected people into nursing homes like NY did. We’re still better than New York!

GovofCO Masks, a 'ticket to more freedom'. What is next governor? Is the coming vaccine the next 'ticket' Ankle bracelets for all that refuse to take it

GovofCO How about you focus on this?

GovofCO Have the Dem powers that be threatened you and your family? Unless the answer to that questions is yes, then you have to just be stupid. Nobody is dying from Covid! Oh wait, it was a motorcycle accident. Must have been Covid. You are beginning to look traitorous.

GovofCO Coney Island restaurant in Bailey in deep defiance of executive order. This is on their window and likely has been for sometime. I can confirm no masks worn.

GovofCO Disney

kimbal deploribales... lock them up right? How well did that turn out for our country . Come on folks. Criminalizing this and blaming the patient is not going to lead to a healthy outcome.

kimbal Wow, as an Australian it’s amazing to see real leadership from someone over there. All we normally see is the incoherent rambling of the lunatic in charge

GovofCO Your not a dictator. Our rights were granted by our creator not a politician. Protesters in Denver by their actions are now trying to take away all Coloradans’ rights. Hey Governor: Speak out about their selfish actions!

GovofCO TheBestMaskPolisLoves isthatBigHarryBlackOneabout 12inchesinlenghtThatTickles his tonsils. BigQueerFudge packingCocksucker.

GovofCO Small businesses can't make a profit with a third the revenue due to social distancing and masks. Masks and social distancing are discriminatory, those being hurt are those who can least afford it. Who are often minorities and disabled. Dem's are hurting poor and minorities.

GovofCO DON'T BE SELFISH! Anyone worried about covid should STAY HOME! Masks and social distancing are killing the economy, forcing businesses into bankruptcy and driving people to the point of suicide. Don't require others wear mask, just stay home. Don't be selfish, STAY HOME!

GovofCO I love my Governor GovofCO! We are extremely fortunate to have a governor who gives a damn about his people!

GovofCO traitor . . . .

GovofCO Thank you for all you have done for this state!!!

GovofCO Hey Coloradans, this is COMPLETELY unenforceable. Emperor Polis has no clothes.

GovofCO Jerry, I’m guessing you are making a statement on this...

GovofCO This is an insane level of tyranny trying to regulate gas prices

GovofCO Where is his mask at? hes in the public domain talking to the public domain saying wear this while i get to breath easier than you

GovofCO Lolol all a hoax agenda.

GovofCO

Your just trying to culture people out of there civil rights to push reform laws on other states. The lower gas prices this year, especially the first quarter indicate this.

GovofCO Political conflict

GovofCO YES! But jaredpolis our cases & new studies re: children & the virus indicate it’s not safe for return to school buildings! PLEASE protect our kids, teachers, administrators, school workers & mandate VIRTUAL first quarter for all!!

GovofCO I love how you’re the governor of Colorado and you don’t even know where the Broncos play. Hey dingbat the Avalanche and the Nuggets play at the Pepsi Center not the Broncos! HomeofTheBroncos

GovofCO why were you in beautiful Boulder and not outside in front of the Capitol Building in Denver?

GovofCO Thank you Governor P, your leadership has kept my family safe. Thank you for all you are doing.

GovofCO ? The Broncos now play at the Pepsi Center

GovofCO show the capitol building in denver? nice background for your interview that hides the truth about what is going on in colorado.

GovofCO did u ask him about the “selfish bastards” remark? he’s off his rocker. unworthy of being a governor.

GovofCO Can I assume I will get my property taxes back if school doesn't open?

GovofCO GovofCO for president !

GovofCO Gosh, wow common sense.

GovofCO

GovofCO

GovofCO TOTALLY TRUE !!!

he is 100% correct!

Y’all tell the feds to stay out of it and let it be handled at the local level, then complain that the White House failed you? Make up your damn minds

WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE... MOB CHAOS ..... ANTIFA RUNNING YOUR STREETS... BLM RUNNING YOUR VOICE.... DEMS DICTATING YOUR EVERY MOVE.... OR DO YOU ALL WANT LAW AND ORDER BACK IN YOUR CITIES IT IS NOT THAT HARD... VOTE RED VOTE TRUMP.... LAW AND ORDER... 😎🧐🤓

People are too dumb to know that if everyone wears a mask, this virus would disappear and we could all go back to our regular lives but no....... that’s too hard for them to comply with! Wouldn’t want to inconvenience you. Stupid.

It's almost like scientific consensus and research provides better data than your feelings do about wearing a mask.

Make her show her prof!! Demand it!!

The only way to make imbeciles do anything in this country is to say 'it gives you freedom'.

How wearing a mask has become a political issue is baffling to me. Medical experts say wearing a mask will significantly reduce spread of COVID. Common sense says that wearing a mask will help as well. It shouldn’t be that complicated.

Any comment?

If you behave, we’ll give you your freedom back. 😐

Just another has been lunatic liberal democrat looking for 15 more minutes of fame. She's been out in the Florida sun too long. If you don't want to catch the plague stay home and wear a mask if you must go out steer clear of people. ... and this too shall pass!

It was the Governor's responsibility & the Governor's need to request federal aid. Nice propaganda fake news BS trying to drag the POTUS into it with your clickbait headline. Governorsfault FLGetsWhatItDeserves Should have taken it seriously, instead.

The pandemic is just politics by other means for Dems.

BS

Trump just has got no leadership qualities whatsoever

The White House didn’t tell you when to open the state, take that up with the mayors and governors

DeSantis is simply waiting for it to do what Trump said it would do----simply disappear. Both are dimwits that do not care about the citizens of Florida---or any citizens of the US, for that matter.

Shalala (D) is part of the Clinton Crime Family. Nothing those people say can be trusted.

The result of the BLM Marches of death

Oh no who would have guessed that not wearing masks and partying was going to have this effect?! If only doctors and scientists had warned you!
