* This is the Florida Department of Health's definition of "hospitalizations": "Includes residents and non-residents. “Hospitalizations” is a count of all laboratory confirmed cases in which an inpatient hospitalization occurred at any time during the course of illness. These people may no longer be hospitalized. This number does not represent the number of COVID-19 positive persons currently hospitalized. We do not have a figure for that information at this time."

I was on bronchodilators and other inhalers for my Emphysema, it kept getting worse with severe shortness of breath. My primary care provider adviced i try a more natural approach and referred me to HERBAL HEALTHPOINT, i immediately started on their COPD FORMULA. The herbal formula treated and reversed my lungs condition. Go to their web page ww w. herbalhealthpoint. com......
Wear masks, be smarter than County Commissioners. (Not very hard.) And to Susanandbillfender@gmail.com (that was dumb) who cares where the spikes came from?
I am being smarter than the county commissioners by not wearing a mask. It’s unenforceable. Just a way for them to try to get their grubby little paws into our every day lives. I’m not a sheeple
Are these spikes in cases related to the influx of people from out of state?
