FDACS Comr Nikki Fried Will Be Holding Regular COVID-19 Briefings
... as Florida cases and deaths surge in pandemic.
DeSantis decided the public didn't need to know what was killing them over a month ago.
She makes an excellent analogy ...
“As Floridians in the middle of hurricane season, can you imagine if we had a report saying a storm is coming but that is all the information you get? No daily information on the track of the hurricane or how it is increasing in size. That is what is happening here in the State of Florida,” said Commissioner Nikki Fried. “The people of Florida need and deserve access to regular, timely updates as it relates to the ongoing pandemic. That is why I am holding regular briefings to provide needed information and coordination from the federal government, filling the COVID information sharing void that currently exists in our state.”
