The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office says it is seeing an influx of employees test positive for COVI

If only there was some way to prevent the spread of covid.


“I wasn’t going to publicize our numbers to avoid unnecessary panic, but I find it necessary to do so. As of yesterday we have a total of 77 personnel out of work with 60 of those with positive test results (this does not include personnel out for other reasons,)” the major wrote in the email. “We have had as many as five persons hospitalized in the past couple of months. It is imperative that we all work together to stop unnecessarily exposing each other and depleting our workforce and staffing levels.”

In the Middle of History - Elliot Kirschner, Dan Rather, and Steady Team

When it comes to history, we are always in the middle of something. The links between the past, the present, and the future should force us to recognize, with humility, that there are no tidy beginnings and endings, no neatly defined chapters, in human affairs. We may wish to put history into clean boxes and eras, but it really doesn’t work that way. History doesn’t march along in unison, it doesn’t rattle along a track, it floods and ebbs and seeps and thunders. It is all connected and to consider it in any other way is to risk missing a lot more than what you’re seeing.
