18. Nice to meet you.

I live in Florida, too and I am shocked at our numbers considering the bragging DeSantis did a couple of months ago. I don't like the way he mocked those who made the predictions that are now coming true. In my area, the positive rates are around 20%. Considering the fact they were around 5% and then slowly climbed, that's a High rate. They are finding so much of it from people coming for medical care for other things. They are so far behind in testing that contact tracing is half useless right now and they are also short of PPP.

And they want to have the RNC down here and offer tests to all of those people when our own residents can't get one?
