Florida, Haven for NBA and Trump, Sets Covid Death Record

Quote:

Unlike earlier in the pandemic, Covid-19 is now also infecting and hospitalizing large numbers of Floridians away from the state’s largest metropolitan area. In Orlando, home of the Walt Disney World complex that’s hosting the NBA, cumulative cases are now about 14 times what they were on May 4, when Florida emerged from its Covid-19 lockdown.

Jacksonville, host of the Republican convention, had just 1,011 confirmed cases on May 4. The convention was officially relocated there June 11, when it had 1,770 cases. As of Tuesday, the number of cases had climbed to 12,548, and the area had 525 Covid-19 patients in hospitals.

Trump in June upended plans to hold the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, after the governor said the RNC would have to institute social distancing and mandatory face masks. Official business will still be held in Charlotte, but the nomination will be moved to Jacksonville Aug. 24-27.

Republican leaders have been hedging about whether they will attend. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Thursday the convention was “a challenging situation.”

“We’ll have to wait and see how things look in late August and determine whether or not you can safely convene that many people,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky.

You know you’re in hell when Mitch ain’t ****in with you

At least 31 percent of children tested in Florida are positive for COVID-19: report

Quote:

Palm Beach County's health department director, Dr. Alina Alonso, warned county commissioners Tuesday about the potential long term health consequences for children who catch COVID-19. She said the virus could cause lifelong damage even for children with mild illnesses.
"They are seeing there is damage to the lungs in these asymptomatic children. ... We don't know how that is going to manifest a year from now or two years from now," Alonso said, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "Is that child going to have chronic pulmonary problems or not?"

Because it’s so ****ing hard to stay home and supposedly impossible to enforce.

The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all Covid-19 patient information to a central database in Washington beginning on Wednesday. The move has alarmed health experts who fear the data will be politicized or withheld from the public.

I totally respect that. Why should they sit back and allow people to put their loved ones at risk? That’s how we should’ve rolled right from the get.
