Good, then not so much

The Florida governor has resisted issuing a statewide order of this kind up until this point more than 30 days after the first case of the virus was reported in Florida, but on Wednesday, as Florida’s coronavirus cases neared 7,000, including more than 80 dead, he said it was time. ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stressed again on Wednesday that he has no plans to issue a sweeping stay-at-home order in the Sunshine State to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

As of Friday morning, 4/3/2020, Florida confirmed cases surged past 9,000, with 144 dead.

Coronavirus: Friday – Florida governor issues statewide, 30-day stay-at-home order. The statewide stay-at-home order went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday. Residents will still be allowed to go out to get essential supplies, including food and groceries. THEN “To order someone not to be able to earn a paycheck when them going to work is not going to have any effect on what we’re doing with the virus, that is something that I think is inappropriate.”

States with stay-at-home orders, such as Virginia and Maryland, are requiring places of worship to limit in-person services to 10 people to comply with bans on large gatherings while adhering to physical distancing measures. Michigan, New Mexico, Delaware, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia also. I am so glad not to be an attendee of any Irresponsible group. Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, Delaware, Ohio, Texas and West Virginia allowing church services during coronavirus pandemic. Service – YES. Gathering – NO. Whimpy Whimpy Whimpy Wimpy Governors will be given responsibility for the spread. I hope the connection is made IF their numbers go up… No one really knows yet! When asked about the church continuing to stay open, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) warned that “any pastor who brings people together in close proximity to each other, a large group of people, is making a huge mistake.”

Update 4/10/2020, Good Friday, Florida confirmed cases 17,531, with 390 dead.

I Have Responsibility

Updated 4/13/2020
In an article – More than 100 additional U.S. sailors aboard a coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier stuck in Guam have tested positive for the virus, the Navy said. The sailor, who tested positive for COVID-19 last month, was reportedly found unresponsive while in isolation. Then Sailor From USS Theodore Roosevelt Dies From Covid-19
In an article “The Pacific commander, Admiral Davidson, ordered that ship into Vietnam for a port visit in a peacetime environment, knowing full well and having the intelligence, capacity, and capability resident in his command to know the jeopardy that he was putting that ship in,” he stated.
In an article – Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly appeared to worsen the situation when he gave a surprise speech to sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt and called ousted Captain Brett Cozier “too naïve or too stupid” to be a commanding officer of a ship like this, Reuters reported.
In an article – Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned on Tuesday, a day after leaked audio revealed he called the ousted commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt “stupid”in an address to the ship’s crew. Modly’s resignation comes a little more than a week after Capt. Brett Crozier, the then-commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, sent a memo warning of coronavirus. In his resignation letter, Modly did not mention the controversy but later apologized to the whole of the Navy for the incident in a memo. “More than anything, I owe every member of the Navy and Marine Corps team a lifetime of gratitude for the opportunity to serve for them, and with them, once again. They are the reason why I will forever remain inspired by the call of service. They are the ones who lift our nation, heal our divides, and make this country the greatest in the history of the world,” Modly wrote in his resignation letter.
In an article – The captain relieved of command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after warning of an outbreak of the coronavirus on his ship has tested positive for the virus, a U.S. defense official told Fox News on Sunday.

Original Post Below

In an article I found March 31, 2020 the captain of a nuclear aircraft carrier, Capt. Brett Crozier, with more than 100 sailors infected with the coronavirus pleaded Monday with U.S. Navy officials for resources to allow isolation of his entire crew and avoid possible deaths in a situation he described as quickly deteriorating.
In the four-page letter to senior military officials, Crozier said only a small contingent of infected sailors have been off-boarded. Most of the crew remain aboard the ship, where following official guidelines for 14-day quarantines and social distancing is impossible.

Please read the entire article for the details. This is an example of someone realizing the responsibility that he has and doing what is necessary. The results may not be good but I agree that the outcome of saving lives instead of unnecessarily losing them is the less bad.

I salute Capt. Brett Crozier for his bravery and concern for his command. When resources are needed you get them!

I found the fallout article on April 2, 2020 The Navy announced it has relieved the captain who sounded the alarm about an outbreak of COVID-19 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. I do not believe that the crew has lost trust and confidence in this captain. If he will do this in peacetime he will do what it takes in wartime!

Teddy Roosevelt’s great-grandson weighs in on dismissal of Navy captain: ‘Crozier is a hero’

Captain Brett Crozier: Standing Tall For His Sailors. Such send offs are not typical for officers who have been fired. The problem may continue. Admiral James Stravridis, a former commander of NATO, wrote in email to the San Francisco Chronicle, “we should expect more such incidents because warships are a perfect breeding ground for coronavirus.”
“What’s more, we are very concerned about the chilling effect this dismissal will have on commanders throughout the Department of Defense,” “Dismissing a commanding officer for speaking out on issues critical to the safety of those under their command, discourages others from raising similar concerns.” One does not rise to the rank of the captain of a carrier without playing by the rules. Crozier is an accomplished pilot and a naval officer. Crozier put those under his command first, and his commanders second. That is a choice that civilians would embrace. The first duty of a commander is to put the needs of troops first. He or she must, at times, put them into harm’s way; that is the nature of the military.  At the same time, putting them in harm’s way when not at war seems unwise.  Modly’s sacking of Crozier echoes the firing of his predecessor.

Updated 5/9/20. USS Theodore Roosevelt Outbreak Is Linked to Flight Crews, Not Vietnam Visit . Bottom Line. As the Navy investigates the outbreak of the coronavirus, officials say they may never learn its true origins. “We just don’t know,” one official said.

Too Good To Miss

Two Fox News About the same thing
Tampa megachurch crowded with worshipers despite social distancing orders
and
Tampa megachurch pastor arrested after leading packed services despite ‘safer-at-home’ orders say

Tampa megachurch pastor Thinks He (his church) is More important than the Government (us).

From the second article. — Howard-Browne’s attorney took issue with the Hillsborough County “safer at home” order and the charges brought against his client, adding the county allows companies like Amazon to operate while shutting down churches. The attorney obviously does not use Amazon if he thinks they use Hugh crowds to make deliveries. I think that the 500 in attendance should be arrested and quarantine, at least, during the pandemic. It will be hard to keep 500 people 6 feet apart! maybe sedated!
“His reckless disregard for human life put hundreds of people in his congregation at risk and thousands of residents who may interact with them this week in danger,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said at a press conference Monday afternoon. “They have access to technology allowing them to live stream their services over the internet and broadcast to their 400 members from the safety of their own homes, but instead they chose to gather at church.”
I Am Sorry, but I have a bug–Not Covid-19– The church also wrote the following statement on their website: “We feel that it would be wrong for us to close our doors on them, at this time, or any time. In a time of crisis, people are fearful and in need of comfort and community.” They were not told close. No church was told to close! Were YOU told to close? Just don’t have a gathering for Church Service And On Sunday, Howard-Browne defended his decision to keep the church open in a video posted to his YouTube channel, claiming the building had the technology to eradicate any virus. “We brought in 13 machines that basically kill every virus in the place,” Howard-Browne said. “If they sneeze it shoots it down like at 100 miles per hour and it will neutralize it in a split second.” Then KEEP them there. Was that offered? Don’t turn them lose on US. It sounds like they have as GOOD as the hospitals but they don’t let you leave to spread things around. You cannot just visit. or can you? But some were offered a free bus ride. Were the machines on the buss? If they were infected before the service did the machine cure them? NOW That’s faith in a Machine!
“Not only did the church comply with the administrative order regarding six-foot distancing, it went above and beyond any other business to ensure the health and safety of the people,” insisted Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver. I know that their Place is big but 500 people standing 6 ft apart? I DON’T BELEIVE IT. He means — Their S..t don’t stink. This is another case of Rights vs Responsibilites. Please Notice how many words, concepts, ideas, are mentioned below when the only ISSUE is in blue “Contrary to Sheriff Chronister’s allegation that Pastor Howard-Browne was ‘reckless,’” the actions of Hillsborough Country and the Hernando County Sheriff are discriminatory against religion and church gatherings.”
