Rite..I hate that any one dies
But at this point an my age death is looking pretty damn good all I get with unemployment is the run around from day one an you have us out of work again let number I have 6 years lost my house. Can’t pay my bills at my age trying to find work sucks oh an I have to have money to get my driver’s license back thanks fl
Countdown to some BS excuse about how it was the manner they were recorded in. Actually those flies were dropping in a more spread out manner than on a single sill. Look it’s only the old people, which is sad but… How many of those were really Florida residents? It’s such an insignificant portion of the population! etc.
You can fill in anything I’ve missed, Steve.
Marie Mott giving the DOH presentation for the first time was some glimmer of hope (thank God for small favors we don’t have to listen to Lanza’s lying song and dance in his capacity as department head any more).
It was such a relief to hear her answer a couple of questions that she would really like to be able to answer them, but she just doesn’t know the answer.
It was a reminder that there’s still a capacity and a chance for honesty and integrity in leadership positions. They’re exhibiting just that over in Tampa/Hillsborough County, fighting DeathSantis tooth and nail on his homicidal authoritarianism attempting to force children, teachers, and support staff back to inevitable spread and unnecessary, avoidable deaths.
“Some of this stuff is just not debatable anymore,†DeSantis said during a Monday roundtable at a Hillsborough County charter school alongside Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran. “We’re going in a good direction in this area and that’s just the reality.â€
–Said nobody ever about anything having to do with covid in this country who wasn’t lying, a fool, or a lying fool.
Hopefully, here on the home front, Gilley and her entourage will be on their lonesome to fake the Escambia covid stats from here on out, without the assistance of the DOH. Hospital admins seem to be off in a corner now playing their own game up pick up sticks.
Malcolm Thomas, the community is looking for one more County leader to join Commissioner May, the only County leader we have on covid right now. How about standing up to DeSantis?
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If ever a person had an opportunity to transform a lame duck status into a stand-up heritage of community heroism, this is it.
