MIAMI MOANS: LIFE IN THE WAR ZONE 500,000

500,000! Is that a number or what?

Take a close look at it.

Life in the War Zone is getting more entertaining by the minute, and this is not a good thing.

According to The Miami Herald, as of this writing half a million Floridians have been touched by the not so angelic Covid 19.

Incredible, isn't it? Take a solid look at this number. Look at it, really look at it.

Yeah, the purple is a bit much but I thought the number needed festooning.

NOT!

By the way, 500,000 is roughly the population of Toledo, Ohio. 

I keep wondering how long it's going to take -- how large this number will have to get before people start to smarten up about how they expose themselves to Covid 19.

Recently five people who went to a meeting of the Florida Sheriff's Association along with Governor Ron DeSantis came home with a case. Sixty people went to this thing. 60. That means 8.3 percent of attendees came home with the gift that keeps on giving.  Well, the article said that they are not sure of the five got Covid 19 at the Sheriff's gig but we can only surmise the odds were high.

Given the technology we have -- wouldn't it have been simpler if they all sat in their own offices and talked with the Governor via teleconferencing? 

Yep. 

And by the way, these days in Miami if you die because of Covid 19 it's likely you could get a burial at sea. It's the latest craze, according to The Daily Beast. Don't say I didn't tell you.

Wear the damn masks, people, wear the damn masks.
