Richard Corcoran and the FLDOE push to risk lives with school openings.

It took Florida 111 days to reach a hundred thousand coronavirus cases and thirteen days to reach 200,000.  Instead of urging districts to pump the breaks, Corcoran screamed the economy, the economy, the economy, and ordered schools open 5 days a week to all students. He just assured the pandemic will spread, and people will get sick and worse. That isn’t me being hyperbolic that’s just me stating the facts.

Now there are a few caveats but who expects the Department of health who asked to close the state when there were a few hundred cases a day back in the spring but now shrugs their shoulders when there are six figures daily. Also, remember when they said the coronavirus would burn out over the summer it couldn’t stand the heat? Um, that didn’t happen.
