People are exposed everyday. When do we stop pushing daily numbers that mean nothing! Maybe follow 7 day average but not really important unless hospitals are overrun. Florida only economy functioning

Lmfao

I think you were exposed to the assholavirus..

Maybe. They. Should. Have. All. Worn. Their. Masks. I manage a major Cancer Center, my daughter in law is the chg RN in our Covid MSICU, my son is a front line Paramedic we have all been exposed and none of us have gotten Covid, because we wear our masks.

Good thing there is a 99.8% survival rate or we'd be in trouble.

Everyone in DC was exposed that day.

In my opinion it would seem like the people who make the laws are pretty good at breaking the law too, and getting away with it !!
