Authorities in central Florida say the state's latest Covid-19 surge is having a deadly impact on the state's first responders, claiming three of the public servants' lives last week.

The three men — a firefighter, a sheriff's deputy and a police officer — all died within three days of one another, NBC affiliate WESH of Orlando reported.

2. I am sorry for their passing.

Not to be insensitive, no where in the article states whether they were vaxed. I assume they were not. People need to take some responsibility for their own lives.

I hope the families will find some sense of peace.
