We asked Facebook: Governor Ron DeSantis said he plans to re-open Florida in “baby steps.” What should the first “steps” be?
“Beauty shops and barber shops, one customer allowed at a time. Nobody has cleaner hands than hairdressers who wash hair all day. And he/she can wear a little mask if they like. I can, too. It’s a small thing to do if it keeps others safe.” — Meg Scott
“Beauty and barber shops! Enough is enough. We need to work and we are trained in sanitation.” — Crystal Creel Butler
“Open all businesses! It’s time to recover and rebuild what has been lost. Prayers for everyone.” — Amanda Pierce
“People have had weeks of coaching on how to protect themselves and others. It is time to open businesses.” — Lisa Ussery
“You guys go first. I’ll stay home.” — Alexandra Forrest
“Opening camp grounds.” — Crystal Johnson
“My suggestion is to be very cautious in all areas. People have not followed the rules even under Stay at Home. What makes you think they will follow any new rules?” — Jane W. Poppell
“Our state should have different “opening” plans for different cities depending on the number of cases in those cities. If Lakeland has over a hundred cases, they should delay their opening plans. Smaller cities, like Plant City, which do not have high numbers of COVID-19 patients, should broaden the types of businesses able to operate while using social distancing measures. Citizens within those cities should stick to their home areas and not venture into high-risk city zones.” — Mara Samantha Bourque
“The Florida Governor’s Mansion.” — Terrie Guthrie Alderman
“It doesn’t need to be ‘baby steps,’ the quicker the better.” — Stephanie Renner Holbrook
