This will only get worse. My heart bleeds for our front liners. It’s a tragedy what is being visited on them due to the selfishness, greed, and ineptitude of our policy makers and a good portion of our citizenry.

If the EMS department had been truly reformed last spring, when it should have been, they would have been in so much better shape to handle this. And yet the medic bleed was allowed to continue running amok.

And now we are asking some of the very medics chased off to Santa Rosa Lifeguard to come back and save us. Mindblowing.

I just heard from another medic in our area who is symptomatic and going in for testing. Why people think that this problem could have been solved by throwing money at it, I’ll never understand.

Mama always said stupid is as stupid does.

Can’t fault anyone from opening up to work. Can fault them for sitting in a bar or on a creek bank at a party ignoring common sense.

wayne, do not blame the government for opening up, blame the people for being stupid and not taking proper precautions and not caring about themselves or others around them.

Perhaps DeSantis in his brilliant wisdom can open some more things and beaches and facilities to suppress this virus outbreak…
He has and had no plan..except to use Florida as a guinea pig
Doing great guy…when everyone is jobless and homeless and still waiting for the unemployment that still is a pig pen operation…you will have succeeded.
Voting time….is great
