When we the people don’t get the accurate information we can’t make a good decision. If we have good input we can make good choices. We would be more willing to do the correct thing and work together ❤. But with bad input we sometimes make bad choices . You get people that stop trusting, it builds fear and anger. We fill we don’t count and our voice doesn’t get heard. The government and media need to get their act together so we all can work together and start healing. Stop distorting the truth or withholding the truth.

>My question to the media is this. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION THAT SOMEONE DIED FROM THE CORONA VIRUS

The Florida Department of Health. Privacy laws don’t apply to death numbers because no people are named.

My question to the media is this. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION THAT SOMEONE DIED FROM THE CORONA VIRUS. I know for a fact that they have what is called HIPPA. NO DOCTORS WILL TELL ANY PERSON OTHER THEN THE PERSONS THEMSELVES WHATS WRONG WITH THEM. THE CORONERS OFFICE WONT GIVE INFORMATION ON A DEATH EITHER. OR IS IT BECAUSE YOU MEDIA THINKS BBECAUSE SOMEONE DIED THEY DIED FROM THIS VIRUS. SO I AM WAITING ON MY QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED FROM THE MEDIA

REGARDING:
“the National News Media’s , for some reason stopped showing the daily Coronavirus Updates from the leading doctors in infectious diseases, but there are two or three channels that show it on cable.”

If any are showing it, then the national news media still is.

Those who aren’t showing it live have possibly tired of having to correct the many false statements made by the one speaking before the leading doctors in infectious diseases, hearing legitimate questions called “nasty questions” or being told what questions they SHOULD have asked or just that they should be praising the speaker as he focuses on his ratings.

The situation got as bad as it did in large part because he blew off the leading doctors in infectious diseases because he thought they were part of his “Deep State” enemies and that the pandemic danger was all “just a hoax.” He even tells them not to answer questions if he doesn’t like their honest answers.

When a man has a long history of lies, misstatements, and ignorance, reporters aren’t obligated to publish his lies for him. It is a disservice to those interested in truth, people whose lives depend on facts rather than snake oil.

You can still watch him on the channels who don’t care about truth. Last I checked, anybody with internet service can watch.

David for honest, honorable people

Why have we only tested 5% of our community? It is still so hard to get tested in escambia county. You do not have to have a high fever to have the virus you can have alot of other symptoms and they are not taking any of those into consideration to get tested. It’s like we are the red-headed step children of florida.

Now this is when people SHOULD start complaining about conspiracies and misinformation. THIS is when people should be concerned. This is like 1984. The government deciding what information the public “ needs” to know for our own good. Statistical information is not protected by hippa. No names are mentioned. I wanna know what’s being kept from us, and I wanna know why. I also want to know if this has to do with TOURISM, And tourist season approaching. My mouth is flapping and it’s flapping all over Twitter.

Reminds me of the National News Media’s , for some reason stopped showing the daily Coronavirus Updates from the leading doctors in infectious diseases, but there are two or three channels that show it on cable. I watch it daily. Why Attorney Allison Rogers and the National News Media’s reason for not informing the people is beyond me. This is not a communist country.

“privacy issues related to medically protected information…” per Commissioner Barry. If he is talking about HIPPA then he is totally wrong. I am sure that report does not list any names of individuals that have tested positive or being treated or their treatment. In my opinion, Mr. Barry rolled over and became a “yes man.” Covid 19 is a virus and not a terrorist act.
