@songbird From what I've seen on the news this is absolutely no surprise.

I live here, have been teleworking since March 16, go out once a week for curb side grocery pick up and that is it. I am scared to death and mad as can be at the selfish people who refuse to do the civil and responsible thing.

Hubby and I are both high risk and due to retire in the fall. This is not how we imagined or wanted to spend our time. Am I being selfish for feeling this way? Maybe but I don't care.

These people that have no regard for other people are more selfish than I am OVER IT.

Great Job Florida for setting a record you had no business setting.

@Miss Pepsi I agree. I’m angry, too.

I was discussing the situation with a co-worker yesterday and she was so concerned and upset that she started to cry - she said she promised herself she wouldn’t do that.

She said that when she mentioned her concerns to HR, she was met with a blank stare as if she was nuts for suggesting we require masks at work, keep the office locked and allow employees only, go back to as many working from home as possible.

And that is just the work situation! People seem to think they can’t get the virus if they even believe it exists. The mindset is one I can’t comprehend.

I just turned off the news because I couldn't take listening to the ER doctor talk about the Covid patients that they are seeing now in Florida. Patients are in their 20s and 30s.

He was describing how he has three ventilators and six patients who are under 30 who all desperately need one. And trying to make that decision, you can tell it is extremely stressful for all of them. Also how much wear and tear on the body of having oxygen forced into it for weeks on end. These medical workers are living angels.

I wish the folks who cry "hysteria" and roll their eyes at "covid" could do volunteer work in these hospitals.

Is this the result of the beaches, bars and protests? I don't know what is happening in FL, but I thought they were doing a good job keeping the nursing homes and elderly safe. I'm assuming this high number has more to do with personal choices made by younger people.

@AuntG Florida has never done a good job at anything related to this virus.

Not according to the daily news! I don't think anybody knows "why." Mostly blamed on closed areas with poor air circulation. Anybody's guess at this point.

All the re-opening with no mask requirements, everything left up to the locals to make decisions.

There doesn't seem to be a big impact from the demonstrations around the country, don't think Florida was one of them. Being outside and everyone had a mask on, probably saved them all.
