Could be true, I haven’t been out west recently except Denver for recurrent.

No trolling, I do actually believe Florida has handled this well and it shows in our loads. People actually are flying there, not only because of the weather, but since they can actually get out and enjoy life. Unlike some of these states that haven’t faired any better all the while wrecking people’s businesses and lives. Are you on leave or actually out working to see this stuff??

Im out. Most of what I have been seeing and hearing from Florida are from friends and family down there. Lots of talk about not reporting numbers correctly and hiding details from the press. Either way, I’m glad our loads there are good and if I’m wrong and it’s working then it should be looked at as a way to do it. On the other hand if it is shady and things are not well, it should be dug into. Either way, it’s a good news thread so...

Everyone is back if they want to be back which is good!

I live in Florida. Being out on the line and experiencing some of these asinine and idiotic restrictions out in states like NY, CA, and MA makes me feel very fortunate to live in a place where common sense trumps emotion and paranoia.

Have you ever actually looked at the FL DOH COVID website? It has TONS of data that is updated daily. This notion that they are somehow hiding information is just bizarre.

And before you bring up that nut job data scientist who just won some stupid award for ‘exposing’ the FL data last spring, take a look at the articles below. The following was posted on Reddit earlier today.

This is the woman who slept with her student when she was a TA at FSU then posted revenge porn of him and threatened to fail his roommate if he broke up with her, leading to her being charged with harassment and cyberstalking and her dismissal from the university.

https://news.wjct.org/post/criminal-...st-drag-august

A few months after that she was charged with felony robbery, trespass and contempt of court for violating a domestic violence injunction

https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...Affidavit.html

Around this time she was also charged with criminal mischief and property damage

https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...hief-2017.html

And way before this she was let go from LSU and assaulted a police officer when she wouldn't leave

https://www.lsureveille.com/daily/cr...7ab6bb2be.html

She was fired because she was counting all positive antibody tests as positives even though they have major accuracy problems, was counting people who contracted COVID-19 in another state and then died in Florida as a Florida citizen death, and overruled the State Medical Examiner's cause of death ruling in recording some cases. Her stats were pretty far off from the Johns Hopkins and NYT dashboards. She also sent a message out on the emergency system telling people to rise up, and from her criminal past looks like a lunatic.
This whole thing was a scam to get people to donate to her Go Fund Me pages, which have raised over half a million bucks. If you fell for this under some misguided 'believe science!' notion you got suckered.

This is proof we need to pack up and head out of Denver. We’re a Florida Airline now, that’s the future of this company.

Just an observation. A church ordered closed by the Governor billed itself a strip club. Truth in advertising. They reopened. The pastor, with that famous strip club song, slowly stripped off his necktie. Then he got down to business, preached his sermon.

"Be like water"

I left Denver years ago as the future is not there, and I didn't want to commute or be on reserve indefinitely.
