Somebody should tell Trump that it's his supporters who are dying. The good thing is that Biden's chances are improving.

From FloridaMan on FB

For anyone wanting to visit Florida
for vacation at our theme parks, lakes and beaches this summer, I think you should know whats going on here!

We're doing OK right now with COVID cases.
We ARE watching in horror as the rest of the country spikes and wonder how long before it makes its way here.

Anyway, just an FYI
Red ants and bedbugs have infested hotels and motels across the area due to a wetter than usual spring.
Panthers have eaten all domesticated animals and some small people.
The poison ivy has taken over all vegetation.
We have had rattlesnake in our yards & water moccasin’s in our canals. Luckily they get eaten by the alligators.
Porcupines are stabbing children should they dare go out.
Crabs are pinching babies toes and our senior citizens are complaining of sand flea infestations at our beaches!
Skunks have multiplied at alarming rates and wander all over.
NoSeeUmms are everywhere, YIKES! 🤢
Murder hornets? We’ve got a SHIT TON! 😮

So stay where you are, where it's safe!
PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE... SERIOUSLY!
We also have NO TOILET PAPER or Clorox wipes!!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Mickey is 92. Definitely in the high risk group. He should be shielding. :tea:

The Florida Keys is experiencing its first outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease Dengue fever in 10 years.

The Florida Department of Health Friday confirmed two more cases of the illness in the island chain, bringing the total number of cases to 16.

The government tells you that Mosquito nets help, but:

* No one is using them anyway.
* They make everything worse when used incorrectly
* They could make people abandon other measures
* The holes in the nets are bigger than the dengue fever virus, so they could never have an effect
* There is no medical proof that they work
* They are not stopping you from entering your bed but only other people.

The best way is to lie naked on the bed with a slug gun, and pick off the mosquitos one by one as they circle above you like miniature vultures...

I can't verify that this is in Florida, but it should Pasco County.
