On re-opening gyms: "I get like, you could get germs and stuff, but I also understand the number one group of people who have been susceptible to COVID-19 -- if you look In New York and some of these other -- obesity is like the number one factor." /4
. @GovRonDeSantis: "We got to figure out a way to get people to be able to, you know, enjoy the outdoors to be able to get out of the house." His suggestion: NASCAR televised races. Mickelson and Woods match up in golf. No crowds, only TV. "People have been starved for content."
On @realDonaldTrump authority: 'He could he could get rid of the guidelines...If he decides to lift that or do more liberal guidelines, then I think you're going to see the states inevitably follow....once 1 or 2 states do it... other states are going to be at a disadvantage'/end
