    No different than hurricane warnings here in Florida. Meteorologists tell us a hurricane is coming and will hit Florida hard, people panic and run to the store, spend time boarding up houses and evacuating. A strong breeze blows through because the storm went some other direction and everyone talks about the weather forecasts as being useless. Next time a storm comes through, they warn and everyone laughs, and the storm plows through the state and everyone in its path.

    At least a hurricane can be seen on the map. A virus...

    The WWE Is Now Considered an ‘Essential Service’ in Florida
    Officials in the state permitted “employees at professional sports and media production with a national audience” to hold an event if it is closed to the public.

    Mr. Demings, speaking at a news conference on Monday, said the WWE was “not initially deemed an essential business,” and traced the change to discussions with the office of Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials.

    Mr. DeSantis issued an executive order that went into effect on April 3, directing people to stay at home unless they were providing essential services or participating in essential activities. In a memo on April 9 from Jared Moskowitz, the director of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management, the state added a new category to its list of essential services: “employees at professionals sports and media production with a national audience” only if “the location is closed to the general public.”

    “There was a review that was done,” Mr. Demings said Monday, in response to a question from a reporter about how the WWE can hold events at the training facility in light of the order. “With some conversations with the governor’s office regarding the governor’s order, they were deemed an essential business. Therefore, they were allowed to remain open.”
