Florida @GovRonDeSantis, asked about state reopening, pointed to Trump's briefings: "You go back a week or two and he was being badgered by the press there for 'Why aren't you shutting down these states.' And he said, 'Oh, no, it's their decision.' It's one or the other."
He said once the WH lifts mitigation guidelines, "What's going to happen is, you're going to have people move in that direction. You're going to see states inevitably follow, because one or two states does it, you know, the other states are kind of going to be at a disadvantage."
And he criticized some governors for going too far, like fining people for going to a drive-through church service: "You cannot deny someone a constitutional right if what they're doing has no impact whatsoever on this infection. "Some of this stuff I think is petty tyranny."
DeSantis, asked about businesses asking to be considered essential, now that WWE is one. Disney asked for some landscapers to be allowed to work, DeSantis said. (WWE story here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/us/wwe-essential-business-florida-coronavirus.html)
DeSantis: "We do need to support content, especially like sports and events. Now, we're not going to have crowds there. If NASCAR does a race and can televise it without large crows, I think that's a good thing. I'd like to see Woods and Michelson do the golf..."
"...because that's social distance."
"I think people have been starved for content," DeSantis said.
