Dade and Broward counties were pretty quick to shut down schools, restaurants, events, etc., even if a little slow to go on full "shelter in place" orders. That may help. It seems like it has been kind of a microcosm of the US, where it was left to the cities/counties as to when and what they shut down, because some areas aren't really affected....yet. Of course, that just makes it more likely that they will be, and it has been easy for people to leave a hotspot to go elsewhere, potentially taking it with them.

That was my thinking. And with Florida being in “one week resident” season, beaches populated, condos full, pools and hot tubs being used, bars full, they take it home with them. I’m assuming Florida has the eldest population per capita as well. Sounds like a dangerous cocktail.

After Considering $1 Billion Price Tag for Ventilators, White House Has Second Thoughts

A deal with General Motors and Ventec Life Systems to produce tens of thousands of the critical lifesaving devices seemed imminent. Then the announcement was pulled back.

Lots of high density housing too. South Florida could easily become NYC 2.0, although we've been on lockdown for about a week now & a curfew starts tonight.

I know you have too much foolish pride to ever admit it but I'm usually right. My secret is I just parrot what credible journalists, blue check twitter users that are experts and the polls say. If it wasn't for them I would be wrong all the time.

per 'that woman' governor.

(WWJ) - After President Donald Trump issued scathing comments about Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, saying she's "not stepping up," and "doesn't know what's going on," she told WWJ 950 the state is having trouble getting the equipment they need to fight the novel coronavirus.

"What I've gotten back is that vendors with whom we've procured contracts -- They're being told not to send stuff to Michigan," Whitmer said live on air. "It's really concerning, I reached out to the White House last night and asked for a phone call with the president, ironically at the time this stuff was going on."

She's out in San Francisco, sounds like it's exploding out there. It's really just a matter of time before we all know someone that has an experience like this.

Damn, I really hope they pull through. I think in the next month we really are all going to have a connection with someone that is in rough shape. Really hope they come up with a treatment or a vaccination soon.

Are there any places that still have all of that going on? Not the stuff from St Pete a week or so ago, but recently? I honestly dont know what other parts of the state are doing, I just know that tourism is shut down in South Florida.

It is hard to imagine very many vacationers are traveling to the beaches, hotels, and bars that are still open elsewhere in the state, but there's always the idiot quotient that it is hard to account for.

They have people outside every public place taking everyone’s temperature that comes in. If they are at a certain level, they send them over to an isolation area for a swab test. They they have to stay until they have a result. If positive, they are sent to isolation with other infected people. That’s how they are doing it. That’s the “advantage” of a dictatorship.

Trump making GM produce ventilators. Said GM was wasting time. Invokes war powers act. GM says “we are making them”.

by **Rocinante** 2020-03-27, 16:59

The defense production act should have been invoked weeks ago. He’s peace mealing the shit out of this. I actually support the use. I think the execution is beyond horrible, but this needs to be done in all parts of manufacturing, transportation, and allocation.

I wish we had an administration that I could trust not to get in the way of the implementation.

I read an article today, that I can't find now, talking about how the number of urns being claimed doesn't match up with the death count. I would take their #'s (as well as Russia, North Korea, Cuba & the rest of the usual suspects) with a grain of salt.
