Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Friday that the nationwide shutdown of schools in response to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak was one of the “biggest public health mistakes” in U.S. history, and that critics of their reopening are the “flat-Earthers of our day.”
“In March we may not have had all the information, but in hindsight, knowing what we know now, the closure of schools was one of the biggest public health mistakes in modern American history,” the Republican governor said on Drew Steele’s radio show. “And I think even Europe has said we shouldn’t have closed up.”
