In reply to the discussion: "What they said on that phone call very clearly was cease and desist..Stop Testing" [View all]Baitball Blogger
(51,635 posts)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?

I posted it last Tue-It was the thing that made me say to myself, "get what you need NOW! It's here"

I just spoke to my 70yo neighbor via text. She worked yesterday and now has a sore throat

Yeah. I'd seen that. But seems no or little attention was paid to that phone call

We need to have a special judgment process for this kind of exploitation.

+1, true ... I'm thinking though they know they can't keep Florida after the inmates are allowed...

So this was caught in January-when? When was it sampled? It leaves a whole lot of questions.

They have made it hard to ascertain. I'd like more info from the samples they have untested.
