I was really stunned to see this, it seems as if it happened awfully fast

And just yesterday, you posted the story about how Florida isn’t going to test anymore because they don’t want their 3 labs overwhelmed

coronavirus cases.

How crazy is that?

The other thing that is tragic about these deaths is the Matt Gaetz debacle with the gas mask, and one of the fatalities being in his district. I can't see how he can be re-elected again.
