4. Not for teh counties that voted for his opponent

PBC has a lower % of deaths and cases than the red counties. We are almost totally suburban, and our county leadership, whom I trust, says we have done a good job with things. Miami-Dade is the one really being slammed.

6. Compared to GA, sounds responsible. We're still down

here in FL because our county north of Atlanta is not expecting to "peak" until early June and is asking the governor, etcetera, for medical assistance because hospitals are likely to be overwhelmed.
