We finally have proof that Miami-Dade Carlos Gimenez failed kindergarten: He doesn’t play well with others. He can’t share. He can’t sit in circle time. On Friday, as the number of positive COVID19 county residents grew to 3,364 — and the number of county deaths to 25 — Gimenez told the White House to ignore the letter written […]
Two Miami-Dade bus drivers and an employee from the radio room have tested positive for coronavirus in recent days, their union leader said, as transit workers — who are also on the front lines — continue to work without protective gear. And the southbound Route 9 bus in Aventura had 60 passengers on board Friday morning. […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis showed Wednesday that he is not a leader, but a follower. And he’s following the wrong people. DeSantis issued a statewide “stay-at-home” order Wednesday, one day after refusing to do so simply because President Donald Trump had a change of heart. He pretty much said so. He also literally took the “essential” […]
A new drive-through COVID19 testing center at Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah will become the fifth location Thursday for people 65 and older who have any symptoms of the coronavirus — on top of on-demand home service for those who are homebound. And on Friday, all adult day care centers or clinics and medical centers that […]
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez took a tour Tuesday of the “field hospital” facility built on the grounds of the Dade County Youth Fair with 250 cots, not beds, and giant, trailer-like port-a-potties with showers in them for when a patient has to go. This hospital is reportedly to be used for non COVID19 patients. But […]
The city of Coral Gables — which has 28 cases of COVID19 positives, including two police officers — will have its regularly scheduled commission meeting on Tuesday via Zoom, the fast-growing video conferencing platform that allows people to meet remotely, which is now allowed of governments during the state of emergency to contain the coronavirus. […]
Monday was Day 15 of the “stay-at-home” order to stop the the community spread of COVID19 in Miami-Dade, which now has a reported 1,701 positive cases, according to the Florida Department of Health. But for all the “shelter-in-place” orders and curfews — a new one starts in Hialeah — and “safer at home” rhetoric, there sure […]
Developing story: Hialeah Police officers have been told to wear gloves and N95 masks while working in the city, even in the stations and office, to protect themselves from COVID19 — only the masks expired in 2013. But don’t worry, they might still work against the coronavirus. And it’s better than nothing. Photos received by Ladra […]
This is extremely concerning during an existential pandemic threat: Ladra did not get neither the text message nor the robocall that apparently went out from Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez Friday urging people to “remain in their homes except for essential activities.” I signed up on the county website to get COVID19 alerts. Has Ladra been scrubbed […]
The Miami city commission met virtually Wednesday via a Zoom video conferencing platform that allowed the public to participate in a one-way sort of manner — through emails, video recordings and voice recordings played during the meeting — and where commissioners voted unanimously to create a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. COVID19 curfew starting Friday. Now […]
