As Jersey Girl always points out, it's the governors who determined whether to shut down on or not. She's right about that. One can't overstate how lucky Florida was to have Ron DeSantis as governor instead of Andrew Gillum. It was a razor thin margin. They could have been forced out of their jobs and onto a life of black market employment and government assistance checks had a just a few votes been miscounted.
for what it's worth, the states that shut down were following the guidelines that Trump gave them.
