In our demographic, we each need to take responsibility for prevention. Avoid large scale events that can quickly multiply the scale of the infection.
No worries soon the population will drop in Florida. By the looks of I75 for the past 2 weeks the migration has started earlier than usual.
I have faith in medical emergency plans, it is what every staff member is trained for. Vents are portable, and can be moved to a facility quickly. This will not be the first time any medical staff need to make decisions, it’s not tough, it very cut and dry. There is protocol.

As for attending events, one should have made that decision weeks ago.
