the reason for the ICU count change was that some patients are put into quarantine in ICU beds but not in need of ICU care (and the state also stated that they can convert other hospital beds to ICU beds but those aren't in the count)

I've been following her somewhat closely since her "departure" from the state.

I don't trust her. I think she's in it for herself somehow. I dunno...just an odd thing with her.

Alex Sink had the best chance against pRick Scott but she ran a lackluster campaign.

Been under GOP rule since, oh geez, well before I moved here in 2009!

Lawton Chiles was the last Dem...died in Dec 1998...one more before Jeb Bush took over. Been GOP since.

basically saying the same thing. I believe she was the one fired recently because she wanted to give truthful information about the infections and deaths and DeSantis wasn't having it.

Therefore, DeSantis, a so called "Christian" doesn't give a hoot about Floridian lives.

seems to apply only inside the uterus for these folks. After you're born, they lose interest. You're just a cog in their precious economy.

to prevent business as usual. Republicans staked out their governing position years ago: profits are more important than people.

It's a NoScript thing (a security extension).

Thank you, though!
