Someone get Miami Commissioner Manolo Reyes a map to the city, please. And pronto! Reyes went on Channel 7 News over the weekend from a COVID19 relief food distribution event at Miami City Casino — which he recently voted to settle a lawsuit with — and pretty much dissed the entire Brickell neighborhood, an area he […]
Was it just a bad dream? Furloughs proposed for healthcare workers at Jackson Memorial Hospital in the middle of the national coronavirus pandemic, with thousands of Miami-Dade residents testing positive only on the rise, have been called off. Thankfully. At least for now. “It won’t happen,” said Jackson Public Health Trust Chairman Joe Arriola on […]
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 […]

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.

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.
