Imagine my surprise waking up to the reality that the Hillsborough Republican Party is now backing the local pastor arrested for violating public health orders and risking the lives of his 500 followers... and the 1,250 they are likely to infect*... and the 3,125 they are likely to infect*... and... and...

Here's the thing, political grandstanding right now is deadly.

*This virus is contagious, their irresponsibility endangers us all. According to the World Health Organization the average patient with COVID-19 is expected to infect another 2 to 2.5 people, who in turn do the same, and is why Florida's case numbers are doubling every three days.
