In other words, he needs to demonstrate that he is a sentient human being.

All DeSantis needs to do is make an exception to his law for cruise lines. This business about declaring once on board a cruise ship is in International waters is a crock of huey and it makes him and his administration look very foolish. We all know International waters begin 12 miles off shore. That is why we pay Florida tax on alcoholic beverages until the ship is in International waters.
Unfortunately, for DeSantis, he has already said very publicly that he will not make an exception to his law for cruise lines. Why on earth not??? What is his problem? His law already makes exceptions for nursing homes and prisons and probably other venues that I'm not mentioning. Does he not realize that once a ship is in the middle of the ocean, people are not able to decide to vacate the premises at will just because an outbreak of Covid just happens to occur? People are, if you will, trapped on board and have no option but to remain on board. Those people have every right to be in a coveted safe environment as safely as can possibly be offered up to them........ just like those in nursing homes and prisons.
