DeSantis claims he is unaware of the shipment of ventilators

to his state from the federal government.

The operative word in this sentence is "unaware."

DeSantis is unaware of what's going on in his state and the gravity of their COVID crisis....

Governor DeSantis is turning his state into a shithole state.

He apparently hasn't learned that before you leave on vacation, you check the burners on your stove to make sure there's not a fire that can burn your house down.

Not a single migrant has crossed the Mexican border into Nebraska. Once they stop those illegal Kansans from coming in they will be safe.

the Department of Health and why on earth would run it by him? It’s not mandatory to do so and at worst he’d just jack it all up. I think the beginning of a slow rolling mutiny is in the works.

Federal government sends ventilators to Florida as DeSantis says he's unaware of shipment

"A health administration official confirms the Strategic National Stockpile sent 200 ventilators and 100 high-flow nasal cannula kits to the state of Florida "earlier this week." The SNS sends equipment when it receives requests from states and their health departments, according to the official.
Despite that, DeSantis told reporters Tuesday that he was unaware of the request for the medical supplies.
"I would honestly doubt that that's true, but I'll look because we have a lot of stuff that we stockpiled over the last year and a half through the Department of Emergency Management," DeSantis said when asked by a reporter about a request from the state for the additional supplies.

He doesn't have time to check on all his e-mails and delivery notices. Candy Crush isn't going to play itself!
