13. I just learned that something funky may be going on in Florida.

The health department is not including the cases from the snowbirds, so each county is under-reported. In Seminole County they claimed that their are 4 to 6 cases, but someone on the Florida Forum said that there are 18 more cases they are not attributing to the county because the people live out of state. Well...are they mingling with Floridians?

On Saturday, when the cases reported in Seminole County was down to one man who had traveled on the Nile, I thought it was safe to attend a social event. Had I known that there were 18 cases in my county I wouldn't have gone to the event. It's just common sense that those people were contagious before they developed symptoms. So why didn't they tell us once they knew?
