Not too many people care what Fauci says anymore. I certainly don't. The man's 15 minutes are up. Though I foresee a gig on CNN in the near future. Remember when the good ol' doc said we didn't have to wear masks? Good times.
Because 90% of your articles are a waste of time, push a narrative, and are not worth it? Over half the people approve of his handling of the crisis. Your article.
Don't know, don't care. As of right now, over half support it. I'm in the majority. Thanks for posting the article supporting my position. I'll see you tomorrow when we post another bunch of people dying so you can cheer, then?
The DeSantis administration continues to hide more data... Florida Sheriff blasts Dept. of Health for cutting off COVID info to first responders https://cbs12.com/news/coronavirus/...sts-dept-of-health-for-cutting-off-covid-info When the COVID-19 pandemic first started, the Florida Department of Health began sharing information with first responders, letting police, fire, and EMS know which addresses were being monitored for coronavirus. Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said it was essential information for his dispatchers to have. "If we get these addresses, we can flag them in our system so when first responders get dispatched, for 123 Main Street for a domestic disturbance, if it's related to COVID-19 the dispatch will advise 'CODE 19' and they can put their protective equipment on," Sheriff Chitwood said. "If I know they are COVID-19, there is a certain level of [PPE] we will use to protect ourselves," he said. "If we don't know that, we may just wear a mask." Chitwood said over the last few months, he had been posting DOH information publicly -- not specific addresses where COVID-19 was suspected -- but a list of towns and cities, and how many locations were "flagged" in each area. He said the community came to appreciate the transparency. But a few days ago, he said he got troubling information from his local personnel. "The Department of Health says, as per the state, they are forbidden to give you any more information," he said. The address information stopped flowing, and now he says his first responders will be left in the dark. "It's unconscionable and it's cowardly to stop providing this information," he said. In a series of tweets, Sheriff Chitwood said the DOH called the effort "to time consuming, and said all first responders should be wearing PPE in close contacts anyway." "It's clear now that our government is so overwhelmed by this crisis, that it's up to the people to solve it," he said. CBS12 News reached out to the Volusia County Health Department, and a spokesperson said it was a state decision to stop sharing address information. The state Department of Health has not yet responded to our repeated requests for comment. First responders in Palm Beach County confirm they are no longer receiving the address information, too. A spokesperson from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed they are not getting this data from the Dept. of Health. A spokesperson for Palm Beach County Fire Rescue told CBS12 News that as of Wednesday morning they were receiving the information, but as of Thursday, they are not. Public Information Officer Tara Cardoso said: "We respond to every single 911 call as if it involves a COVID-19 positive case, so this does not change anything for us... Our firefighters/paramedics are always wearing the appropriate level of PPE." Sheriff Chitwood said donning full PPE at all times isn't feasible for his department. "I don't have the resources to do that," he said, adding that he thinks this latest move is part of a bigger problem. "The state of Florida is more concerned about manipulating the statistics to make the agenda look good, as opposed to making the real numbers drive the agenda," Chitwood said. "When there is trouble getting the information, it's because the information is troubling." Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Chitwood said the Dept. of Health will resume sending them the addresses flagged for possible COVID-19 exposure, but it's not clear when the information sharing will resume. According to PBSO, "nothing has changed," and they stopped receiving the address information this week.
Other than your obvious slant in the article and stupid pre-comments, this is a good call out. The State doesn't deny the data, they reversed their decision and are providing it once again after two days. They haven't yet replied as to what their reason was, but it would potentially be that the Sheriff was sharing data that was deemed protected by privacy regulations - although he technically wasn't (he was only sharing location data and not specific addresses), he might have worried the state that he would have. Regardless, we should see what the state has to say about it. If they say nothing about it, it would definitely lend credulity to the idea that something funny was going on. But it is most likely an issue with privacy where a state official made a unilateral determination based on the data being shared publicly - without thinking it through. It is highly unlikely that DeSantis had anything to do with this or even knew about it until he read it in the news, despite your attempt to paint him responsible. But, like the captain of the ship, the buck stops there. Still, it is important to note that the Sheriff still supports DeSantis: Chitwood told Yahoo News he still supports DeSantis: “I endorsed him, I voted him,” he said of the ambitious 41-year-old who some believe will run for president in 2024. Chitwood said his decision to publish coronavirus data had nothing to do with scoring political points and was rooted only in his desire to keep his deputies safe.
