Pinellas County now has 456 cases and 14 deaths. Pasco County has 160 cases and three deaths. Hillsborough has 759 cases and 17 deaths, including one marked “non-FL resident." Statewide, there are 19,918 COVID-19 cases and 474 people have died of the virus.
About 11 percent of the more than 183,000 coronavirus tests in the state have come back positive. The number of pending tests doesn’t account for those coming from private labs, which make up 90 percent of coronavirus testing.
The state’s death count also excludes non-Florida residents, like snowbirds and visitors. Adding in those positive cases could raise the death toll.
What the governor of Florida doesn't know about the coronavirus is a lot

For whatever reason it just doesn't seem to threaten, you know, kids."
DeSantan is a moron...for those of us who are educators in Florida he is dangerous.
TP45's "home county" of Palm Beach as of today has 1185 cases 205 in the hospital, and 69 deaths...

The Mar-a-largo zip code (33480) has 16 cases. The wealthy barons don't care who gets sick and dies. It doesn't affect them.
Coronavirus has people calling the police and shaming neighbors on social media
Source: Tampa Bay Times
Hillsborough County deputies arrived at the house in the Lake Magdalene area Friday night to find a crowd of 15 gathered around the wrestling ring in the front yard. Some were wearing costumes.
The deputies explained Florida’s stay-at-home order and the crowd dispersed, apparently before the main event.
People made hundreds of calls to law enforcement agencies across Tampa Bay over the past two weeks to complain about neighbors not following stay-at-home orders, at least as they saw it.
Often the officers arrived to find nothing enforceable going on. Sometimes the offenders had already left, and sometimes there was no offense to begin with. Other times they found clear violations, explained the issue, and people listened. Very few got more than a warning.

This has been an issue in Clearwater. One of our neighbors had a pool party and got flamed on the neighborhood watch. It started a debate with the TP45 nuts.
In Floriduh, nothing is enforced (yet), so I wonder how long it will be before there is gun play.

Fifteen years ago, Florida braced for a pandemic.
Officials knew as early as 2005 that an outbreak could devastate the state and infect much of the population. They wrote reports predicting a crisis remarkably similar to the one playing out now: a virus that could infect more than a million Florida residents.
And they responded in force, bolstering the state health department with resources and specialized workers to combat a potential crisis.
But that operation was dismantled by governors and lawmakers more worried about the bottom line, the Tampa Bay Times has found. They slashed research funding, cut thousands of jobs and ignored gaps in the state’s defense against fast-spreading diseases.

Coronavirus: Potential vaccine generates enough antibodies to fight off virus, first peer-reviewed s
Source: Independent
A potential coronavirus vaccine developed by US scientists has been found to produce antibodies capable of fighting off Covid-19 in the first peer-reviewed study of its kind.
The vaccine, which was tested on mice by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, generated the antibodies in quantities thought to be enough to “neutralise” the virus within two week of injection.
The study’s authors are now to apply to the US Food and Drug Administration for investigational new drug approval ahead of phase one human clinical trials planned to start in the next few months.
The first human trial of a vaccine began at a lab in Seattle last month after a team of US researchers skipped animal testing, which is used to establish effectiveness and safety.

Cuomo is doing his daily report...why in the hell can't DeSatan do a rational report in Florida?
Governor C. is the best thing on daytime TV.
I am so tired of the TP45 suck-ups lying about everything while the numbers go up and up.
Went for a walk. Some neighbors having a pool part with half a dozen kids and equal number of adults. These people won't stay in unless there's an order to do so.
There is no state-wide order in Florida. Some counties have limited curfews and stay-at-home rules. Very confusing with every city and county doing their own thing. Some beaches still open!
Viral photo shows difference between open and closed Florida beaches Can you spot the county divide?

Duval County closed its beaches to help limit to spread of COVID-19 and promote social distancing. St. John's County where the beaches will not close until 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has not ordered any statewide regulations for the beaches. It has been up to individual counties to decide that happens along their shorelines.
In the Tampa Bay area, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota counties all closed their beaches to the public.
OMG...Dr. DeSantis is giving out meds to cure the virus...
...on TV now pushing self-admin of whatever you want.
