The governor of Florida doesn’t want citizens to know which homes for elderly have been exposed to coronavirus.
And he’s pressuring the @MiamiHerald to stop its search for the answers. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241942211.html">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coro...

This is the same governor who, two weeks ago, sent one his flunkies out to bar the @MiamiHerald from a press conference https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article241591161.html">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/poli...
It& #39;s the same fellow who ranked 47th out of 50 governors on the handling of the epidemic. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/coronavirus/governors-average-27-percentage-points-higher-in-approval-for-covid-19-response-than-president-trump/ar-BB125j1Z?li=BBnb7Kz">https://www.msn.com/en-us/new...
And ... It’s the same governor whose state is fudging its COVID-19 fatality numbers https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/04/11/floridas-count-of-coronavirus-deaths-is-missing-some-cases/">https://www.tampabay.com/news/heal...
Via @MindyMarques, the Herald& #39;s publisher and exec editor... The suit is going forward, with a different law firm.
Give props to the Herald and its parent company, @mcclatchy, which is pushing this despite having filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy 2 months ago https://twitter.com/MindyMarques/status/1249338909617721346?s=20">https://twitter.com/MindyMarq...

Another blockbuster @MiamiHerald story on Florida& #39;s nursing-home crisis, and the Gov. DeSantis& #39; refusal to turn over basic info about which homes are infected.
A man is told his grandmother is fine; then he& #39;s informed she just died, w/ no cause of death https://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article241996231.html">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/heal...

The Herald asked the state to reveal infected homes on March 23 -- over three weeks ago.
The state, which recently intimidated the prominent Holland & Knight law firm into dropping its representation of the Herald, says "the records request is still under review.”

Sorry, missed the other Herald blockbuster.

Of course, the nursing homes could reveal on their own if they have infected residents or staff.
And one company is doing so -- @PruittHealth, which is disclosing the number of positive and negative tests.
