Fla. governor deems World Wrestling Entertainment ‘essential business’. (WaPo)

So WWE is an essential. business, but the St. Augustine Farmer's Market isn't?  This Boy Governor, RONALD DION DeSANTIS, does not even have a lick of sense -- here he is wearing  one glove.  As if he were the late singer Michael Jackson, or the late bagman Jake Jacobson's description of Treasury Secretary John Connally, who allegedly wore a "rubber glove or glove" while accepting a cash bribe from milk catalysts..

Fla. governor deems World Wrestling Entertainment ‘essential business’

World Wrestling Entertainment, known as WWE, has temporarily moved all operations to Orlando, where it has continued to film television programs without an audience.

On Monday, 10 days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a statewide stay-at-home-order in response to the coronavirus outbreak, he ruled that WWE is an “essential business.” That means it can keep operating in Orlando, where nonessential businesses have been forced to close.

“I think initially there was a review that was done, and they were not initially deemed an essential business," Jerry Demings, the mayor of Florida’s Orange County, said during a news conference on Monday. “With some conversation with the governor’s office regarding the governor’s order, they were deemed an essential business. So, therefore, they were allowed to remain open.”

It has been two days since WWE announced that an employee tested positive for covid-19. The employee is not an in-ring performer, WWE said, adding that they had no contact with performers or staff since they were exposed to the novel coronavirus. WWE said the employee tested positive on March 26 after coming into contact with a health-care worker, not someone from the company.

As of 6 p.m. Monday, Florida had 21,019 reported cases of covid-19 and 499 deaths related to the virus.
