Texas forced to roll back it's reopening plan. Is Florida next?

Yep. Florida just effectively closed all bars back down. No alcohol sales at bars.

Wow! 8,942 new cases reported today! I figured the numbers would be shocking after the alcohol ban on bars.

Yep. Florida just effectively closed all bars back down. No alcohol sales at bars.

If that includes restaurants, I may start rioting.

Nope, just bars. You can put your can of spray paint away.

I haven't been to a bar in a while. What the hell has been going on since they reopened?!

I was feeling unwell over the weekend and got tested last Saturday in St. Augustine... I only just got the call a few minutes ago that I tested negative, and I've had a cold all this time.

Don't forget that the numbers we see each day are anywhere between a few days and two weeks delayed from what's happened. We won't actually know how much reopening bars scuttled our efforts until closer to mid-July. And we won't know about the alcohol ban's impact until after that.

Good point. I haven't seen anyone posting that they died from it.

MusicMan had to have a beer. Then all hell broke loose.

Coincidence? I think not!

Another record breaker. 9,585 new cases yesterday in Florida.

According to the COJ Fast Facts, JFRD employs about 1400 - but not all those are firefighters.

677 new cases in Jax yesterday. Lot J had 700 cars waiting and they shut it down due to reaching max tests today.

Will lot j testing be shut down for the RNC?

Will lot j testing be shut down for the RNC?

I think Curry[favor*] has said he hopes to relocate it to someplace inside. What with hurricanes and other bad weather coming up.

I'm guessing the "no booze at bars" rule will be suspended by then. Even if only for the Jacksonville area.

Not a smart statement. For some it will be. And it's preventable. No one knows how each person responds. Young healthy people have died or had horrifying complications. I don't play Russian Roulette.
