I cant speak to Sarasota county, but I am thankful that the restaurants in Nassau county have a conscience.  We have had a few voluntarily report that a worker was tested positive and then voluntarily close down for a week to deep clean and retest the rest of the staff.

Those that are open, have so much plastic around the workers that you feel like you are walking into a "clean room" and I can only think of one that is open (or was two weeks ago - we haven't been back yet, maybe today) for indoor seating with major spacing between tables.  Very few have outdoor seating and the rest are take out only.

Nassau and Duval counties have a lot of testing going on and there are probably 60% (or less) positive in results.  I know this because my wife works for the Director of Chronic Diseases for the Florida Department of Health in Duval and is the one who is processing ALL the test results that come in.  And trust me - they are coming in in droves.  She comes home brain fried each day.  She gets anywhere from 80 - 120 test result reports, each upwards of 100 pages.  About 20 pages or so are her "normal", what use to be day-to-day work: HIV, Hep, TB etc.  the rest are Covid test results and there are probably 60% (maybe a little less) that are positive.

What we see here, living in "ground zero" is not indicative of what is being reported.  In the department where I work, there are maybe 3 or 4 that have it (out of 218 employees) and not one of them are in the hospital.  The local news is reporting that there are 26% of the hospital beds open and available in the entire state.  Edit: 26% of ICU Beds available state wide

The reporting overall of the pandemic has been abysmal on both sides. CNN is non-stop hysteria, while Fox concentrates on what's going on in a city block in Portland or Seattle and ignores the virus altogether. There is no balance. Of course if we had leadership things would be different, but we don't. We have an ignorant president who spreads his ignorance to others as contagious as Covid.

Sad news. My condolences to his family.

Lovie Smith is up there. Much more appealing than the safe from a Giants' standpoint but risky from a long term look, of McAdoo. Talk about overrated.

The Carolina D coordinator or David Shaw. A new direction with no ties to the Giants, please.

A new coach will probably bring his own DC in. I'm hoping the new coach comes from a defensive background.

I said fire him only because it's probably best for the new coach to determine his staff. I would consider rehiring him if I'm the new coach.

TC has two Super Bowls. That's quite an accomplishment. It will never get better for him again, I hate to say. It never does. And the past four years are proof. It will get worse and worse if he sticks around. Tom Landry and others fell into the same trap. It's absolutely time to move on. How it is handled is another issue. Maybe the next coach will be bad, maybe not. But a serious change has to be made otherwise it will be status quo or worse.

Good pitching shuts down just about any lineup.
