County
offices set
to reopen
County appointment service
starts today, full opening slated
for June 1 barring hitches
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT
The Anderson County
Commission approved a plan last week for
a gradual reopening of the county courthouse to public traffic, directing county
business to start moving back to normal
after shutting down due to Covid-19.
The courthouse was closed in mid-March
as public offices, restaurants and other non-essential business began an
abrupt shutdown following an executive order
from Kansas Governor
Laura Kelly. Kellys May
4 reopening plan has
been revised twice since
Wettstein it was introduced as officials tweaked crowd size
restrictions and types of
businesses allowed to reopen. County clerk
Julie Wettstein said the countys reopening plan would be phased as well.
Were trying to open slowly, Wettstein
said. We have so many offices here and
were trying to keep with the governors
plan on the amounts of people that would
be in the courthouse.
Wettstein said courthouse offices had
installed plexi shielding in the customer
service areas to help ensure separations
between personnel and the public.
As of May 26 offices will be open by
appointment, meaning customers should
call ahead to the office with which they
have business, and then call again when
they arrive at the courthouse to be let in
the west doors. During this time the county

were set to make their traditional visits to the graves of loved ones over the

Powls to seek election in 5th District race
Garnett man says
constitution should be
more toward forefront
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A former music
educator and small business owner in Garnett filed
last week as a candidate in
the Republican primary
election for the 5th District
seat in the Kansas House of
Representatives.
Mark Powls, 59 of Garnett,
said his objective in seeking
the office was to help direct
K a n s a s
toward more
constitutional conduct in
state governance.
A graduate
of Pittsburg
Powls S t a t e
University,
Powls taught
music in Kansas public schools
and served 22 years in the
Kansas Army National Guard.
He presently operates a music
instruction and instrument
repair business, MP Vantage,
in Garnett. He and his wife
Carmen, a teacher in USD 365,
have two daughters.
Powls said the primary
focus of his candidacy is the
restoration of constitutional
principles to government and
to increase citizen involvement.
Voting has been an
embarrassment in Anderson
County and the 5th District
as a whole which means that
people have given up on our
system of self-governance, he
said in a Facebook post on the
announcement of his candidacy. We need to convince
people to register and vote.
Powls is the founder of the
Anderson County chapter of
Founders Keep, a national
study organization which promotes study and discussion
of Americas founding documents. He ran unsuccessfully
for a Garnett City Commission
seat in 2018.
Powls will face incumbent
Republican Mark Samsel in
the August 4 Republican primary. Samsel is finishing his
first two-year term in the legislature. No one has yet filed
on the Democratic side of the

Linn County: Covid scuffle ruffles feathers
Sides solve 4th Amendment
issue with changes; director of
county health service resigns
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
PLEASANTON A federal court case
stemming from Linn County has resulted
in a revised order being issued by the
Linn County Health Department regarding the collection of customer information
from local businesses, and the resignation
of the countys public health officer.
The health department issued an order
in early May requiring local businesses
to keep track of customers with their
names, contact information and date and
time of visits, and to provide that information on demand to the health department.
The department said the information was
sought for tracking purposes to determine
who else might have been infected with
Covid-19 once specific cases were confirmed.
The Linn County News and a LaCygne
restaurant filed suit against the county
May 10, arguing the order violated the 4th
Amendment constitutional right against
warrantless searches and seizure. A settlement was reached last week in the case,
when the department issued new orders
making customer sign-ins voluntary and
giving businesses the option to request a
court-approved warrant from the department to obtain the logged information.
The issue became more heated at
a special meeting of the Linn County
Commission on Thursday, when Linn
County Public Health Officer Dr. Jay
Allen tendered his resignation. Linn
County News Publisher Jackie Taylor
told the Review Allens resignation came
after a reported public protest at the county clinic earlier last week.
Allen issued the initial order under
the latitude offered counties in Governor
Laura Kellys initial executive orders
restricting various business and activities due to the pandemic. Those rules
allowed individual counties to enact rules
that were more strict than those outlined
in Kellys order, but prohibited them from
adopting rules less strict than the executive order.
The Kansas Justice Institute, a legal
affairs division of the conservative
Kansas Policy Institute, represented the
plaintiffs. Litigation Director Samuel
G. MacRoberts said this was about the
Constitution.
This case was about Linn County
understanding that constitutional rights
cannot be ignored, he said. Even during
a pandemic, were happy to stand up with
Kansans to protect their rights and liberties.
Linda Jo Hisel, who operates Nana
Jos Caf in LaCygne and teamed with the
newspaper in the lawsuit, said privacy
was her main concern in opposing the
health department order.
Were a close-knit community and
my customers are like family, she said.
I dont want to put anyones health in
jeopardy but Im not going to put anyones
privacy in jeopardy either.
Governor Kelly
moves Kansas into
modified Phase 2
TOPEKA Kansas Governor
Laura Kelly on Friday signed
Executive Order 20-34, which
immediately moves Kansas
into Phase 2 of Ad Astra:
A Plan to Reopen Kansas.
Phase 2, effective Friday, May
22, 2020, will be modified to
include data-driven restrictions Kellsays are necessary to
prevent community transmission of COVID-19.
Throughout the COVID-19
pandemic, all of my administrations decision-making
regarding our reopening
efforts has been driven by
data not dates, Kelly said.
Because of the great work
Kansans and businesses have
done to keep others safe, data
now indicate we are seeing
a more consistent decline in
hospitalizations, COVID-19related deaths and a consistent
decrease in disease spread.
This puts our state in a position to safely move into a modified version of Phase 2.
I would like to be clear

REMEMBRANCES
Is there a crown waiting for you?
Psalm 14 states, The fool says
in his heart . Their is no God.
They are corrupt, their deeds
are vile, there is no one who
does good. One wonders how
can this be. When Adam and
Eve fell prey to Satans temptation in the Garden of Eden, our
fate was sealed. Our nature,
which we inherited from Adam
is bent toward the things of
the world and away from the
things of God. This is what the
Psalmist is pointing to.
Another way to look at this is
when God created man he said,
Let us make man in our image,
in our likeness and let them
rule over the fish of the sea and
the birds of the air, over all the
livestock, over all the earth and
over all the creatures that move
along the ground. (Genesis
1:20) Essentially man was on
the same plane as God. When
the LORD banished Adam and
Eve from the garden essentially man fell from his highly
esteemed position. Man is left
looking up for God. We live on
the horizontal plane where yes,
no one does good. Now we must
qualify this statement. What
the Psalmist meant is no one
has the perfection that Adam
inherited, and lost in the fall in
the Garden of Eden.

BY DAVID BILDERBACK
God is the sovereign creator
of the universe. It is not within
the nature of God to sin, if it
was he would be here with us.
This is best illustrated in John
Bunyans Pilgrims Progress
which is an allegory that provides a searching portrayal of
human life and character and
provides marvelous revelations
of God, eternal truth and the
way of salvation. In the book
Christian, the lead character,
leaves his home in the City of
Destruction, remember our
text, no one does good and
begins a long journey to the
Celestial City. On one of his
stops he is shown a man who is
raking up dirt and trash with
a muckrake. The man had no
time for anything else. There
was revealed a celestial being
standing over him offering him
an everlasting crown for his

muckrake, but he could not see
it. The only way he could look
was downward, and he kept
exceedingly busy, raking up
trash off the floor. Interpreter
explain the mans actions. The
man with the muckrake is bent
on gathering as much trash,
or worldly possessions, before
he dies. He has no time to
think of eternal things. As you
can see the only way he can
look is downward. This reveals
the power of earthly things to
capture mens minds and close
their hearts to the love of God
and the the realities of the
world to come. This illustration should give us pause for
thought. What are we trading
our crown in the Celestial City
for?
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 26, 2020
OPINION
Shake your legislators hand for
his/her efforts in all-hours session
Anytime you can aggravate the Kansas Trial
Lawyers Association, stop a governor from
operating carte blanche with oppressive executive orders and get to meet the all-night maintenace squads who clean and buff the floors in the
statehouse, its been a pretty good Legislative
wrap-up. So we have to offer kudos to the
Kansas Legislature for the 24 hour session they
finished up Friday morning.
Theres always a lot of criticism for these
wrap-up sessions however; lots of people say its
wrong to wait so long to get down to the hide
cutting of laws that will affect every Kansan for
who knows how long. But then again, Ive been
on the receiving end of committee actions that
have been finished far earlier into the session
and simply not brought up for discussion or
debate again for the entire session. Neither
option seems fair if you dont get what you want
from the legislature.
Last weeks ending session was a particularly
good one for common sense and for reopening
the state for business after Governor Kellys
Covid-19 shutdown.
For starters, legislators put constraints on
how Governor Laura Kelly would have been
able to award more than a billion dollars in
federal funding for the post-Covid recovery in
the state. Theres perhaps no greater opportunity for crony capitalism than such a windfall
of unrestricted funds the kind of connections
exemplified by the loving embrace of green
electric companies like Ener1, Solyndra and
Beacon Power by the Obama Administration
back in the early 2010s. Those companies sucked
up tons of federal grants, and of course left tax
payers (or federal borrowers, as we should more
rightly think of ourselves) on the hook for hunreds of millions of dollars in bankruptcy.
One can only imagine how Kelly would have
divvied up that cash, but rest assured some of
it would have gone to win political favor for
anybody running on the Democratic side of the
ticket in the Kansas race for Pat Roberts U.S.
Senate seat. Covid-19 emergency aside, the fight
for that senate seat is utmost on the minds of
Kansas Democrats this year for its opportunity
to upend the U.S. Senate, guard against losses
most certainly to come for Democrats in the U.S.
House, and shake Kansas Republicans to their
core at the realization of the loss of a historically
Republican seat.
But back to the trial lawyers association the
huge bill passed by the legislature and sent for
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
the Governors signature also included protections for medical providers and businesses
against being sued if someone claimed those
providers made someone sick with Covid-19.
This has been a lucious hope on the horizon for
the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association, who are
so much like pirates its surprising the officers
of the organization dont walk around with parrots on their shoulders.
Lawyers in the state and across the country
have had their mouths watering for months
over the revenue potential of Covid-19. For
every positive test of the disease in Kansas
8,958 as of Friday theres an opportunity
for a liability lawsuit and more importantly a
generous financial settlement of which the law
firm representing the claimant would pick up
fifty percent. Cant you just hear the television
commercials: If you were infected by Covid-19,
you may be due compensation…
Well, if Kelly signs the bill, that wont be
happening in Kansas much to the regret of the
trial lawyers association.
Another favor legislators did Kansans in the
bill was to allow counties the opportunity to
make less restrictive measures than those in
Kellys delayed and delayed again reopening
plan for the state. This may be the real plumb in
the whole legislative pie, because it would allow
counties to open up public events to crowds and
breathe life back into local events the people
are relying on to help resurrect their own local
economies. That local option is one thats been
lost on Kelly since the beginning of the Covid
emergency, considering some counties had few
or no cases whatsoever.
So be cranky with your legislators some
other time. This time, they helped you out. ###

Hey Ive got news for the caller who said strip
clubs could open early. The secret strip club
thats been operating here never did close.
It stinks that Crest is not having an 8th grade
promotion. Theres no reason why they
shouldnt do it, it must just be laziness from
the administration. These kids have already
missed out because of Covid-19, why not let
them have their promotion? Theres no reason
not to.
I choose to wear a mask when I go out and I
choose it because its the safest thing to do not
just for myself but for others. What Id like to
find out is why all employers arent requring
their employees to wear them? I am now refusing to go into any store in town or out of town
or anywhere unless their employers make them
wear a mask. Its not right. You need to protect

Let Biden adapt to become more beatable
In national polling, former Vice President
Joe Biden is the clear 2020 front-runner. Hes
up nearly five points in the RealClearPolitics
polling average; hes up in Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona.
Thats because Biden campaigned as the
anti-Bernie Sanders: a return to normalcy
candidate rather than a transformational one.
His entire pitch relied on his high name recognition, the general perception of his likability
and his unthreatening demeanor.
The coronavirus pandemic merely underscored this pitch. Biden hasnt waned in the
national polling since the pandemic his lead
has been utterly consistent. Thats true even
though Biden has been relegated to his basement, gaffing through completely anodyne
statements about COVID-19, glitching his way
to a few thousand viewers at a time, being
interrupted by the birds honking outside his
window.
How can a major party candidate win if
nobody cares whether hes even alive?
Because Bidens candidacy isnt a referendum on Biden but on Trump: President
Donald Trump is widely perceived as volatile,
unstable, chaotic. Biden is perceived as somnambulant. Better a sleepwalker, many voters
seem to think, than the rolling chaos of a second Trump term.
Yet somehow, the Biden campaign has
decided to abandon Bidens greatest advantage: his promise of a sedated interregnum.
Instead, according to The New York Times,
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BEN SHAPIRO, THE DAILY WIRE
Bidens campaign will embrace radical proposals. With Mr. Biden leading President
Trump in the polls, the former vice president
and other Democratic leaders are racing to
assemble a new governing agenda that meets
the extraordinary times and they agree it
must be far bolder than anything the party
establishment has embraced before, The
Times reported.
Are Americans truly desperate for a reshaping of our medical system, a universal basic
income and trillions more in debt?
Some of the new proposals are directly
from the Sanders campaign: forgiving student loans, a Green New Deal, expansion of
government health care, a government jobs
plan, a ban on stock buybacks and compulsion
toward profit sharing for corporations.
Meanwhile, former President Barack
Obama explained recently that the coronavirus has merely underscored deep-seated
American racism that requires a complete
remaking of our society. Equating disparate
health and incomes between black Americans
and white Americans due to COVID-19 with the
shooting of black Georgian Ahmaud Arbery
and citing both as legacies of Americas historic racism Obama stated, No generation
has been better positioned to be warriors for
justice and remake the world.
But do Americans really want the world
remade? Or are they simply longing for the
world of four months ago, when unemployment stood at 3.5 percent, when incomes were
rising at the lowest end of the income scale,
when Americans could attend events without
fear of infection and death?
Are Americans truly desperate for a reshaping of our medical system, a universal basic
income and trillions more in debt?
Biden seems to be betting on the latter. And
thats idiocy of the highest order. It completely
undermines his entire case for the nomination; it allows Trump to place the new radical
agenda front and center, rather than his own
foibles.
Bidens go-for-broke strategy is a massive
opportunity for Trump if Trump doesnt
blow it.
Media: How about an apology for Ron DeSantis?
A couple of months ago, the media, almost
as one, decided that Governor Ron DeSantis
was a public menace who was going to get
Floridians killed with his lax response to the
coronavirus crisis.
In an interview with National Review,
DeSantis says he was surprised at how kneejerk the hostile coverage was, but he also
knew that none of these people knew anything
about Florida at all, so I didnt care what they
were saying.
The conventional wisdom has begun to
change about Florida, as the disaster so widely
predicted hasnt materialized. Its worth delving into the states response as described
by DeSantis and a couple of members of his
team because it is the opposite of the media
narrative of a Trump-friendly governor disregarding the facts to pursue a reckless agenda.
DeSantis and his team have followed the science closely from the beginning, which is why
they forged a nuanced approach, but one that
focused like a laser on the most vulnerable
population, those in nursing homes.
An irony of the national coverage of the
coronavirus crisis is that at the same time
DeSantis was being made into a villain, New
York governor Andrew Cuomo was being elevated as a hero, even though the DeSantis
approach to nursing homes was obviously
superior to that of Cuomo. Florida went out
of its way to get COVID-19-positive people out
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
of nursing homes, while New York went out
of its way to get them in, a policy now widely
acknowledged to have been a debacle.
The media didnt exactly have their eyes
on the ball. The day that the media had their
first big freakout about Florida was March
15th, DeSantis recalls, which was, there
were people on Clearwater Beach, and it was
this big deal. That same day is when we signed
the executive order to, one, ban visitation in
the nursing homes, and two, ban the reintroduction of a COVID-positive patient back into
a nursing home.
DeSantis is bemused by the obsession
with Floridas beaches. When they opened
in Jacksonville, it was a big national story,
usually relayed with a dire tone. Jacksonville
has almost no COVID activity outside of a
nursing-home context, he says. Their hospitalizations are down, ICU down since the
beaches opened a month ago. And yet, nobody
talks about it. Its just like, Okay, we just
move on to the next target.
Perhaps more understandably, The
Villages, the iconic senior community, was a
focus of media worries. According to DeSantis,
as of last weekend there hadnt been a single
resident of The Villages in the hospital for
COVID-19 for about a week. At one point, the
infection rate in The Villages was so low that
state officials were worried that they were
missing something. So I got the University of
Florida to do a study, he says. They did 1,200
asymptomatic seniors at The Villages, and not
one of them came back positive, which was
really incredible.
So how did DeSantis go about responding
to the epidemic? It began with the data, and
trying to learn the lessons of other countries.
At the outset, DeSantis looked at South
Koreas experience: I just thought it was so
dramatic, the extent to which this was concentrated in the older age groups. I think the
first real fresh set of South Korea numbers I
looked at, I think it had no fatalities under 30,

mother or father or child. If youre not wearing
a mask, are you washing your hands thoroughly? How do we know? Im a God-fearing person
but I believe God has gave us all common sense.
Lets use it.
To the so called smart person calling everybody leftist and liberals and all this other BS
well youre not any better than anyone else.
Its my job to come out and call (deleted) like
you. Telling us its not about saving lives its
all about power? Were not talking about the
orangutan president. If it was a Republican
doing this youd be kissing their (deleted). Shes
the best person weve ever had as governor.
Brownback? Screwed us all up. How you going
to defend that? She doesnt want this to be a hot
spot but you Republicans dont want to admit
that because the orange man has told you different. Republicans cant think for theirself. I feel
sorry for you.
About the asanine comment that the governors
just wanting power because shes a liberal and
a Democrat: Well how about the City of Garnett
and the recreation board and all them that
have cancelled baseball, the swimming pool,
races around the lake, all kinds of events, the
square fair? Are they having a power grab?
Are you going to say the same thing about
the City of Garnett and the rec hall because
theyre worried about people getting sick like
the Governor? Youre saying theyre wrong
because theyre trying to save lives. You cant
have it both ways.
Im calling to thank the person who found my
money at Country Mart and turned it in. It was
much appreciated. Its wonderful to live in a
town with honest people in it. Thank you so
much.

The Grouchy Chipmunk
by Rhoda Yoder
Mrs. Millers Class
6th Grade Central Plains
Once upon a time there
lived an old chipmunk. He
was nobodys friend because
he was so grumpy.
One rainy day, a soggy
indigo bunting took refuge
under the leaves of a branch
where the grouchy chipmunk
lived.
Once the storm had passed
and the sun came out, Indigo
began to sing.
I love to sing as you can
see. Im so happy I found this
tree!
The chipmunk who had
been sleeping, awoke grouchy
and irritated.
Who do you think you
are? shouted the chipmunk
angrily. To wake me up for
no reason at all!
Im sorry sir. I didnt
know anyone lived here,
Indigo replied meekly.
Stepping closer, Indigo
said, Let me introduce
myself. My name is Indigo
Flyfeathers. Whats your
name?
If you must know my
name is Arnold. Not that
its any business of yours!
replied the naughty chipmunk.
Dont come here again
And with that, the chipmunk stalked back inside the
tree and slammed the door.
Wow! You really got on
his bad side! commented a
voice behind Indigo.
Whirling
around,
Indigo saw an opposum
swinging on the branch
of a nearby tree.
Everybody
knows
not to mess with Arnold,
or Scrooge as we call him.
Whos we? Indigo asked,
looking around.
Suddenly there was a rustling of leaves and trampling
of grass.
A deer, 4 skunks, 2 rabbits, a wolf and 3 squirrels all
stood in a line and looked at
the opposum as if begging for
an introduction.
William, Roxy, Foxy,
Boxy, Lexy, Kenny, Penny,
Tricksy,
Arabella
and
Annabella. This is…
Indigo the bird informed
them.
Neighbors this… the
opposum started to say.
Yeow!
something
screamed from inside the
tree.
Thats Arnold! Indigo
exclaimed as he ran inside
the house with everyone,
crowding inside after him.
There in the corner of the
hollow tree was Scrooge,

screaming for all he was
worth and clutching his leg.
Everyone be quiet, the
opposum commanded. Lets
see what happened.
After theyd settled down
some, Indigo asked, What
happened?
Why do you think
is smells like smoke in
here? I was trying to
bake some acorn cakes. It
fell off my stick and landed
on my foot. It singed my hair
right off. Arnold explained.
Well we might as well
take care of him, Indigo
said.
So they did and weeks
later the chipmunk was better.
They will be friends as
long as they live.
Sarha was born December 28,
1919 in Ninesteen, England.
She went to
school
e v e r y
day. Her
family
was very
poor. They
could not
afford very
much food
to eat. Sarha
had
one
brother and
one sister.
Sarha was
the oldest of the
three kids. In
1949 when she was 30, she
worked for this company that
would tell if people were using
a fake name. She worked for a
company called Wood Check.
On May 19, she was supposed
to come to work but she didnt,
which was not normal. So they
decided to go check her house
because they thought she
would be there.
All they found were her
phone and a
half eaten
plate of
shrimp
from what
looked to
be her lunch.
They thought
to ask friends
if they had
seen her. Her
friends said
that they had
not seen her.
They had thought
to check everywhere she might
go. The people she
worked with had finally found her.
They had found her in a
storage place. They had asked
her what happened. She said,
I was in bed when three people took me and left me where
I was found.

phase of returning to normal service. This isnt how
we envisioned reopening, but
while we have been closed, we
have participated in a number
of online meetings with other
libraries and library officials,
not only from Kansas but from
across the United States, to
find the best ways to safely
offer library services. We, like
many other libraries, will be
going through several stages
during reopening, adding more
services when they are deemed
safe. Libraries have unique
challenges to overcome during
reopening. Unlike most retail
business, we not only have
items going out but also items
coming back in. We have been
advised that these items should
be quarantined for at least 72
hours. Also, for many of you,

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 26, 2020
Garnett water department announces water
utility maintenance, "chlorine burn"
The City of Garnett Water
Department is currently conducting a free chlorine burn
for disinfection of the water
distribution system beginning May 15, 2020. This process will last about one month.
Flushing and chlorine burns
are routine distribution system maintenance conducted
by utilities with chloramine
disinfection. Chlorine burns
also reduce the potential
future occurrence of coliform
or other types of bacteria in
the system.
During this free chlorine
burn, the water disinfection
process will be changed from
chloramines to free chlorine
which is a stronger and faster-acting disinfectant. The
fire hydrants will be opened
to allow flushing of the system to help remove sediment
from the pipes and distribute
the change in disinfectant.
Customers may notice open
fire hydrants throughout the
city during this period. At
the end of the free burn, the
standard chemicals used for
disinfections will be reintroduced to the system and be
returned to normal operating
conditions.
Possible Noticeable Effects
It is important to understand that during this temporary change there may be
some discoloration or cloudiness in the water and possibly
a chlorine odor or taste. If this
is experienced, please run the
water through the tap until it
clears. Minor pressure fluctuations and small air pockets
may also occur. Fire hydrant
flushing should remove
most of the color and odor,
but some may reach customer lines during the process.
Discoloration in laundry is
also possible during this time.
It is recommended that customers check for discolored
water before adding clothes
to their washing machine. If
discolored water appears, customers can set their washing
machine to spin cycle to purge
the water, and then refill the
machine with clear water. In
addition, customers may wish
to purchase and use a cleaning additive to help prevent or
remove any discoloration that
may occur.
Is the Water Safe to Drink?
Yes, the water is safe to
drink throughout this process
and boiling water is not necessary. Customers may notice a
change to the taste and smell
from the water and may want
to let their water tap run for
several minutes or until the
water runs clear. Any odor
and color issues will subside
as the flushing is completed.
Customers who use tap water
for kidney dialysis at home
should properly monitor their
process for complete neutralization of disinfectant residual and should contact their
doctor for more information.
Customers utilizing the water
for aquariums should monitor
the chlorine residuals.
Why is this
burn out necessary?
The City routinely collects
samples and monitors the
water quality. The Garnett
Water Department is tasked
with ensuring that water in
all points of the system is
acceptable to our customers. Over time minerals and
metals, which are naturally
present in water sources, can
increase and attach to pipes
and release when there are
changes in pressure, resulting in discoloration, odor or
affected taste. Other processes such as nitrification and
the growth of biofilm can also
occur in water distribution
pipes. The biofilm growth
can cause a reduction in the
effectiveness of residual disinfectants over time. This free
chlorine burn-out will help
cleanse the lines, reduce the
occurrence of nitrification
and biofilm, and ensure that
we provide quality water for
the citizens.
If you have questions please
contact Garnett City Hall,
785-448-5496, and the Garnett
Water Department will return
your call.
Kansas families to receive
additional food support through
Pandemic EBT Program
The
Department
for
Children and Families in collaboration with the Kansas
State Department of Education
(KSDE) announced today
the creation of the Pandemic
Electronic Benefit Program
(P-EBT). The program will
help families who have been
impacted by school closures
due to COVID-19 to purchase
food for their children.
We know the pandemic has
made it difficult for families
to access food, especially if
they relied on school meals,
Governor Laura Kelly said.
Thanks to the partnership
between DCF and KSDE the
state will be able to automatically enroll most families into
the P-EBT program, so they
receive their benefit as quickly
as possible.
Cheryl Johnson KSDE
director of child nutrition
and wellness said. P-EBT
provides temporary funding
to address emergency food
needs and avert financial hardship for families affected by
the pandemic. I am thankful
that through this partnership,
Kansas is able to put healthy
food on the table for Kansas
children.
P-EBT provides a one-time
benefit of up to $291 on a Kansas
Benefits Card to Kansas families whose children between
the age of 5 to 18 would receive
free or reduced-price meals at
participating schools. There
is no application process to
receive the P-EBT benefit.
DCF will issue the benefit in
phases. Those Kansas families
who currently receive free or
reduced-price meals and are
enrolled in the food assistance
or TANF programs should
begin to receive their benefit
later this week.

The second phase also will
include an automatic match
with those families on free or
reduced-price meals and who
also are receiving Medicaid or
child care assistance.
The final phase will include
families that need to provide
additional information to
receive the benefit. Those families will receive access to a
parent portal to register for
the program beginning June 5.
Parents should receive information from their school district on how to access the parent portal.
Most families should
expect to see their benefit in
the next two weeks, DCF
Secretary Laura Howard
said. If families have not yet
received information about
P-EBT, I encourage them to
reach out to their local school
district.

Cont – The Skinning Tree A novel by G. Dane Hicks
Due to social distancing directives in view of the present Covid19
emergency and the fact that many
Review readers are sequestering to varying degrees in their
homes and looking for reading
materials among ways to pass the
time, we are publishing segments
of Review publisher Dane Hicks
2003 novel The Skinning Tree
(Began March 24) over the course
of the next several weeks.
Chapter 5 Cont
*picking up from where left on from
May 19th edition
Now, all eight of them were in
the front office of the Sentinel to
have their pictures taken for the
paper with pieces of their creativity to give the bazaar a little
free publicity. And in the center, bolstered by her companions
and beaming with pride at their
efforts, stood Tillie Spurlock with
her ceramic erection. McKane
appeared in the threshold of the
hallway door, the lurking shadow of Wendell close behind him.
Hello Mr. McKane, Bethany
Samuels waved a shriveled hand
adorned with rings and a bracelet, fingernails brightly polished,
among the crowd of white and
bluish hair permed high and
tight. An echo of greetings followed from her comrades, each
holding a bowl or an angel or a
kitten or piece of shiny, painted fruit. They were a giddy
bunch, giggly and excited, their
mood lifting even more with the
appearance of the nice-looking
young editor in the room.
We were hoping the paper
could run our picture with some
of the things weve got for sale at
the bazaar, a subtle, giddy argument broke out among a couple
of the group as to their modesty
and feigned aversion to having
their picture taken. Itd be a
real help for us, Mr. McKane. Its
all for the ladies chamber, you
know.
Yes, yes, I remember seeing
something in your club notes
about it last week, McKane
said, training his forced smile
on Bethany, trying hard not to
stare at the long, arched piece of
shining phallus in Tillies hands.
His eyes fell onto the pieces in
the hands of the other women.
Wow, those are some neat looking pieces, are they stock, or did
you make them… he stroked. A
voice interrupted from the back,
its harrowing siren call buffeting
McKane like a hurricane wind
hitting a man trying desperately
to climb over big, sharp rocks.
Look at what Tillie made,
the voice said. Tension grew at
the base of McKanes skull as his
defeat grew imminent. The voice
was from hell.
She stood there beaming, both
hands supporting the center of
the fleshtone piece, its center
arched and smooth except for a
few darker colored lines running
its length, looking uncannily like
veins, stretching forward and
fading away to a bulbous end or
head or end. Tillie read the look
on McKanes face as the kind of
perplexity that comes from someone who doesnt garden.
Its a summer squash, she
said, interpreting his gaze as
one that begged an explanation.
It got a little lumped on one
end, and the paint was yellow
but it dried a little dark, but the
girls say I should sell it anyway.
They say its what was it girls
expressionist or expressionistic? Seven gray heads nodded as
the girls chirped approval.
Yes, I see, McKane
said, forcing his eyes
away from the piece and
to a bowl another woman
held. Still in a half daze he
said something about the
other womans project,
but he wasnt sure exactly what. Ill get Wendell,
and well get your picture. WENDELL!
Wendell, standing only
a few feet away from his
boss with his camera
in hand, jumped a little at the summons. He
brushed McKane with
his still fearful glance as
the two men passed at the
hallway door. McKane
looked down, his hand
rubbing his jaw to cover
the grin that began to grip
his face. Wendell looked
toward the elderly crew,
swallowed hard, and strode forward.
McKane eased back into
his chair and rubbed his eyes
with the heels of his hands.
He grinned a little as his eyes
searched around the room in a
sort of tired parade. The office
was drab, walled on two sides by
old paneling, and on the other
two with half-walls topped by
windows that stretched nearly
to the ceiling and looked out into
the backshop hallway. Hed been
here almost a year and a half,
and he still hadnt taken time
to decorate. The bare walls still
showed the pock-marks from
nail holes and pieces of stripped
paint from the wall hangings of
the previous editor. A conference table was pushed up against
one wall and stacked high with
newspapers and notebooks. The
carpet was dull and old; the
Knaule boys always seemed to
find better places to make capital
improvements than in the production area of the old flagship,
though the front office, with its
shrine of Knaule and Kansas
memorabilia, was kept spiffy.
One never knew when another
documentary crew from public
television might drop by.
A single photo of Susan sat
on his desk amid another pile
of newspapers. McKane lingered
on her face; framed by soft blond
hair, pretty and happy and smiling that day as they drank margaritas in the cabana in Cancun
when they were on vacation
before the wedding. His mind
drifted. He wondered what color
hair the girl in the well had.
His mind flipped to his telephone. He needed to follow up
with Bookman, who wasnt
exactly known for returning
calls. On second thought, hed
probably better just happen by
there in person. Deadline was
Thursday morning at nine.
A series of shadows passed
by the window as he gathered
a notebook and checked his
shirt pocket to be sure he had
a pen. The muffled and always
active voice of Polly Jones, the
Sentinels advertising sales manager, ebbed as she made her way
past McKanes windows and
headed down the hall toward
her office, followed by a tall,
slender woman with a bulb of
thick, short red hair. The stranger would have been tall even
without the heels, and wore a
yellow leather jacket with padded shoulders, cut short at the
waist, and a pair of tight brown
slacks that took on an odd sheen
under the incandescent lights of
the backshop. The slacks clung
appealingly to her rounded hips
and thighs. Her features were
sharp, almost pixy-like, and she
caught McKanes glance through
the glass and locked eyes with
him for a lingering second or so
before smiling slightly and turning back down the hallway to
follow Polly. McKane rose from
his chair, hesitated a second,
then moved closer to the window
to follow the stranger down the
hall with his eyes. Her gait was
slow but confident, and though
the distance and the glass now
prevented him from overhearing
any content of their conversation, McKane could see the back
of the womans head move as
her eyes traced around the room.
He felt suddenly self-conscious
about the looks of the place.
Tillie and her gang had
by now left the building, and
Wendell sat at his cubicle by
the backshop door, listening as
Sandy, who was standing beside
him with a piece of paper in her
hand, waved it up and down as
her explanation of it continued.
McKane pulled on his jacket and
zipped it a few inches at the bottom, and nonchalantly picked up
Wendells camera to look it over
as he sauntered up to the desk.
His presence broke Sandys conversation in mid sentence.
You got anything else from
over the weekend?, McKane
asked Wendell.
Non-fatality wreck up on fifty-nine. House burned down by
Suterville.
Thats like three in the last
month. Anybody hurt in the
fire?
No its kinda weird sheriffs department thinks it was
another meth shack like the others. The place caught fire, but
nobody ever came back to the
house or even called or anything
bunch of their stuff was still
there and everything. These
guys just catch their houses on
fire and then split, and nobody
ever sees them again.
Hmm, McKane held the
camera up so the lens was illuminated by the light. Theyre obviously not too excited about standing around answering questions
from the state fire marshal. Why
dont you look into those three
fires and do something on the
similarities between them. Talk
about the fire hazards involved
in making the stuff, and find out
what the law is on production
of meth it must be pretty stiff
if these guys are willing to just
pull up stakes and split without a
word. Wendell nodded, taking a

few notes on a little spiral pad he
pulled from his shirt pocket.
Whos the dish?, McKane
asked, waving his thumb back
over his shoulder but still peering at the lens on the Nikon.
With Polly? Sandy confirmed. McKane nodded. Thats
Ellie Taylor. You know, Taylor
Oil, Taylor Farms, Taylor Angus,
Taylor money-money-money?,
she giggled. McKane shrugged
his ignorance. Wendell looked
intently at the pretty young
woman, his glasses riding a little
lower on his nose now, and his
mouth open slightly.
Her dad was R.W. Taylor
big time rich, she said in a hush.
They used to live here but him
and his wife got divorced a couple years ago and he took off
with some gal that was like nineteen years old or something, and
then they both got killed in that
car wreck down at Fort Worth.
She used to be a model or something Ellie I mean just moved
back here cause her moms not
doing very good shes got some
kind of arthritis thing real bad
or something but Ellies gonna
reopen the old dress shop downtown. Pollys trying to sell her
some advertising.
It must be all the late hours
Sandy kept around town,
McKane thought, plus the fact
that she sat next to the information lightning rod of Sharon
County Ethel Crabb eight
hours a day. Between the two
of them, they knew everything
about everybody in the county
or could find out any factoid
about any of the 11,310 residents
with just a phone call or two, and
be amazingly accurate in their
unconfirmed report.
Shes pretty, Sandy followed
in an even softer, envious hush.
Dja see that outfit. I bet that
outfit cost hundreds of dollars.
Geez.
Looks a little loud for
Henrysville, McKane said
wryly, noticing how small
town his comment sounded
and ashamed of himself for an
instant. He set Wendells camera down and shook his attention back toward his visit with
Bookman. It was almost like
Sandy read his mind.
Mac did that girl in the well
out at Pod Tuckers really have
her mouth stuffed full of rose
petals? Thats scary.
Rose petals? McKane
glanced up to her face, her young
eyes were wide and inquiring.
Yeah. Ethel said she talked
to Mary Parker this morning at
coffee, and Mary said that deputy Purvey was at the Dinner
Bell yesterday morning and told
them all that that girls mouth
had a bunch of rose petals in
it, and that some guy one of
those investigators from Topeka
or someplace said they thought
it was a mass murderer. She finished the narrative nearly in one
breath, her level of animation
growing as she neared its end.
Isnt that scary? She looked at
Wendell, whose eyes were widening as well.
She said Otis Purvey told her
that?, McKane asked.
Yeah, thats what she said.
Hes the deputy.
Yeah, McKane glanced
away. You mean serial murderer, he returned. Sandys face
tightened.
Well, whats the difference?
Uhm, a mass murderer kills
a whole bunch of people all at
once. A serial murderer stretches it out longer.
Oh. Okay, Sandy rolled her
eyes a little. A serial murderer,
then.
Wow. McKanes interest
was piqued.
The morning sun was warm
but a slight wind made it a little
chilly outside. McKane decided
to walk the four blocks to the
jail and sheriffs department anyway, and he made his way along
the sidewalk with his pen in his
hand and feeling the bulge of
the notebook in the inside breast
pocket of his jacket. Traffic
seemed to be buzzing for a
Monday morning. With city hall
and the county courthouse and
three bank locations downtown,
there was still a fair amount of
commercial traffic even though
empty buildings punctuated
the downtown. McKane walked
along, not particularly hurrying
even though deadline was less
than forty-eight hours off, his
mind walking slowly but deliberately along its own journey. How
does a girl from nowhere end
up in a well in Sharon County,
Kansas? The highways were
obvious connections. Bookman
may have identified her by now,
and she may be from some surrounding town. But usually
missing persons reports come
days or even weeks before a
body turns up, McKane thought
to himself. Theyre circulated
nearly instantaneously by e-mail
and radio around the state, and
the sheriffs office surely would
have heard about a missing girl
from anywhere nearby by now.
Forgotten kid? Now, that was
a possibility. A runaway could
have come from anywhere, disappearing from home maybe
on one of the coasts and headed to the other. It could have
been months or even years ago,
and nobody may have known, or
cared.
Sharon County and the City of
Henrysville merged their sheriffs office and police department
some fifteen years ago, the logic
being they could provide better
law enforcement and cut costs by
merging the departments than
continuing to operate them separately. It was a divisive issue,
but in the end one hundred
twelve more voters liked the idea
than those who stood against it,
and the old city police department was vacated and turned
into office space. The Sharon
County Jail now served as the
base of operations for the city
and county law enforcement, and
sat just east of the courthouse on
the towns main drag. McKane
shortcut his route off the sidewalk between the two buildings,
intent on using the back door
to the jail if it wasnt locked.
That was the way the deputies
and any other insiders came
and went, and he had a lot better chance of happening into
the sheriff or the undersheriff or
anybody else who might drop a
hint or two if he entered that way
instead of going through Louise,
the receptionist and notorious

palace guard. In almost a year
and a half hed never been asked
not to use the back door, and at
the rate of turnover in the underpaid deputy staff, a fair number
of the officers probably thought
McKane worked there anyway.
He hopped up the four steps
to the new-looking storm door,
which opened easily. The main
door was standing open on the
inside as well, so McKane invited himself in and turned down
the old wood paneled hallway
toward sheriff Art Swearingens
office, where Bookman had

temporarily taken over after
Swearingen took leave for his
cancer treatments a little over
three months ago. He passed one
of the new deputies Taggert
the kid couldnt have been any
more than twenty-two or twenty-three years old who smiled
and nodded when McKane greeted him confidently.
The office door was open only
a slight crack. From the hallway, McKane could hear several
voices coming from inside not
the bursts of laughter that often
come from temporarily idle cops
as they relate a story from their
shift or otherwise roughhouse
with each other these voices
were intent, steady. Suddenly
the door swung open and a tall
man wearing a jacket, tie, slacks
and cowboy boots stepped quickly out of Bookmans office holding several sheets of paper. He
glanced for a second at McKane,
then headed up to the main
squad area. McKane nodded,
unacknowledged by the other
man, and halted his walk in the
now open doorway of the sheriffs office. Inside, Bookman and
two other men, both clothed like
the one in the hallway seconds
before, clustered around a wooden desk in the center of the room.
One wall of the office was lined
with packed shelves, the others
covered with plaques and photos
and other memorabilia denoting
Art Swearingens thirty-plus
years in office. McKane stood
there a full five seconds before
the trio looked up. There was a
clumsy second in which they all
looked at each other, each with a
question on his face.
Mac what can I do for
you?, Bookman started toward
the editor, as if to cut him off
from entering and to half shield
the desk materials and even the
other two men.
Hey Todd just following up
Public
Notice
on the girl from Saturday. Whats
the scoop? McKane looked at
Bookman, but watched the other
two from his peripheral vision as
they looked at each other, then
back to him.
Uh, nothin. Nothin yet,
Bookman said, breaking eye contact. We havent got an ID yet.
Havent got a sure cause of death.
Medical report isnt done yet.
Is there any McKane
never finished the sentence.
Bookman showed some agitation
as he interrupted.
Mac, Ill get a press statement to you, probably tomorrow, Bookman said, shifting a
little, showing his discomfort as
he finished the dismissal. The
tactic irritated McKane; statements from the sheriffs department were ridiculously bland
and always late. They provided little nuts and bolts info and
were always watered down so as
to reduce the countys liability
for saying too much.

then 80 percent of them were
70 and above or something like
that. It was really, really dramatic.
Then there was Italy: I think
a lot of the policymakers in
the U.S. acted like Italy would
happen in the United States,
but when you look under the
hood of Italy, there were huge
differences, and there were
reasons why that part of Italy
fared as poorly as it did. I think
the median age of fatality was
something like 82 in some of
those areas in Northern Italy.
So we looked at that, but that
really helped inform the strategy to focus most of our efforts
on the at-risk groups.
He was hesitant about sweeping lockdowns, given that there
wasnt much of a precedent for
them. One of the things that
bothered me throughout this
whole time was, I researched
the 1918 pandemic, 57, 68, and
there were some mitigation
efforts done in May 1918, but
never just a national-shutdown
type deal, he says. There
was really no observed experience about what the negative
impacts would be on that.
So I was very concerned
about things on that side as
well, he continues, and
I think thats why I had a
more nuanced and balanced
approach than some of the
other governors. Because you
have some of these health officials saying, Youve got to do
this. This is science, or whatever. But really, these were
unchartered territories.
The DeSantis team also
didnt put much stock in dire
projections. We kind of lost
confidence very early on in
models, a Florida health official says. We look at them
closely, but how can you rely on
something when it says youre
peaking in a week and then the
next day youve already peaked? Instead, we started really
focusing on just what we saw.
Florida was better able to do
that than many states because
of its routine experience dealing with natural disasters.
Many states simply did not
have the data infrastructure
that Florida has, says Mary
Mayhew, secretary of Floridas
Agency
for
Healthcare
Administration. We have an
emergency status system that
gets stood up, as I mentioned,
in the case of a hurricane.
Hospitals and nursing homes
and other long-term-care providers are required to submit
data on a daily basis, twice-daily basis, regarding their bed
availability.
The Florida Department of
Health produces a report that
DeSantis sees every morning:
new cases, number of tests,
positivity rates, etc. He also
gets a rundown of the people
who have gone into hospitals
and of ICU usage. He can follow the key indicators down to
the county level. This allows
granular visibility into whats
happening. He cites the example of rural Hamilton County.
It had 67 cases the other day.
DeSantis was able to call the
surgeon general of the state to
find out what was going on,
and learn it was an outbreak
in a prison rather than a wider
community spread.
His focus has been on clinically significant cases, or serious cases that might require
hospitalizations, and that
pointed to the nursing homes.
Here, Florida is indeed
quite vulnerable. The state has
roughly 350,000 residents and
staff at more than 4,000 longterm-care facilities.
The state took precautions
with its seniors generally. We
advised, before there was even
mitigation, DeSantis points
out, if youre 65 and older,
stay home as much as possible and avoid crowds. And
that was just something that
made sense. The state talked
to senior communities like The
Villages about what they were
doing to mitigate risk, and they
took common-sense measures,
such as stopping big indoor
gatherings.
But the nursing homes
represented a different level
of risk. It was clear to me,
says Mary Mayhew, that there
were much higher standards
related to infection control
being outlined by the federal
CDC that well exceeded what
our nursing homes traditionally have been expected to adhere
to. So we never had false expectations.
Inspectors and assessment
teams visited nursing homes.
The state homed in on facilities where, Mayhew says, we
had historically cited around
infection control. We used that
to prioritize our visits to those
facilities, understanding that
the guidance from CDC was
changing frequently. So our
initial focus was to be an effective resource education to provide guidance to these facilities
to make sure they understood
how to request personal protective equipment from the state.
Florida, DeSantis notes,
required all staff and any
worker that entered to be
screened for COVID illness,
temperature checks. Anybody
thats symptomatic would just
simply not be allowed to go in.
And it required staff to wear
PPE. We put our money where
our mouth is, he continues.
We recognized that a lot of
these facilities were just not
prepared to deal with something like this. So we ended
up sending a total of 10 million
masks just to our long-termcare facilities, a million gloves,
half a million face shields.
Florida fortified the hospitals with PPE, too, but DeSantis
realized that it wouldnt do the
hospitals any good if infection
in the nursing homes ran out
of control : If I can send PPE
to the nursing homes, and they
can prevent an outbreak there,
thats going to do more to lower
the burden on hospitals than
me just sending them another
500,000 N95 masks.

insight, and how much it drove
Floridas approach, counter to
the policies of New York and
other states. (I dont want to
cast aspersions on others, but
it is incredible to me, its shocking, says the Florida health
official, that Governor Cuomo
[and others] are able to kind
of just avoid real questions
about their policies early on to
actually send individuals into
the nursing home, which is
completely counter to the real
data.)
Mary Mayhew had daily
calls with the hospitals, with
people involved in discharge
planning on the line. Every
day on these calls, she says,
I would hear the same comments and questions around,
we need to get these individuals returned back to the nursing home. We drew a hard line
early on. I said repeatedly to
the hospital, to the CEOs, to
the discharge planners, to the
chief medical officers, I understand that for 20 years its been
ingrained, especially through
Medicare reimbursement policy, to get individuals in and
out. That is not our focus today.
Im not going to send anyone
back to a nursing home who
has the slightest risk of being
positive.
What we said constantly is
lets not have two cases become
20 or five become 50, she continues. If you dont manage
this individual as you return
them back, you will have far
more being transferred back to
the hospital. Early on, when
tests had a slow turnaround,
there was a lot of pressure to
give way, but Mayhew was
unmovable on the question.
At the other end of the equation at the nursing homes, the
state made it clear, according to Mayhew, if you are
unable to adhere to these infection-control standards, if you
are unable to safely isolate and
dedicate staff to an isolation
wing or unit, you need to transfer that individual to a hospital.
As the health officials put it,
succinctly, We wanted people
out, not in.
When the state was seeing
infections at nursing homes
presumably caused by staff,
DeSantis deployed what he
calls an expeditionary testing force, 50 National Guard
teams of four guardsmen
together with Department of
Health personnel that tested
staff and residents.
Most facilities havent had
confirmed cases. But the ones
that have, he says, the majority of them have had between
one and five infections. So the
infections are identified, but
then, youre isolating either the
individual or the small cluster
before you have an outbreak.
The state has just deployed a
mobile testing lab in an RV that
has a rapid test with results
in an hour or two. It goes to a
community and the staff goes
to different long-term-care
facilities. If youre talking
about an asymptomatic car-
rier, if you can identify that
person instead of waiting 48
hours for lab results to come
back, I mean, that could be the
difference between saving a
lot of infections, according to
DeSantis.
The state has also started a
sentinel surveillance program
for long-term-care facilities,
routinely taking representative samples to monitor for
flare-ups.
Finally, it has established
several COVID-19-only nursing
homes, with a couple more in
the pipeline. The idea, again,
is to get COVID-19-positive residents out of the regular nursing homes to the maximum
extent possible.
At the same time Florida
was devoting enormous attention to nursing homes and
establishing highly restrictive
policies to protect them, it was
giving its counties latitude in
how they reacted to the crisis.
I said from the beginning,
DeSantis explains, were a big,
diverse state. The epidemic is
not going to affect this state
uniformly, and whats appropriate in Miami and Broward
may not be appropriate for
Jacksonville or the Panhandle.
And thats pretty much the way
we did it.
We worked with the locals
in Southeast Florida, he continues. They had more restrictive measures than the rest of
the state.
And understandably so:
Even at this point, 60 percent
of our cases have come from
just those three counties. I
mean, they represent 29 percent of the population, but 60
percent of the cases, and certainly a majority of the fatalities and hospitalizations.
DeSantis eventually did
issue his own statewide order,
but he argues that it was more
flexible and less prescriptive
than those of other states. We
had a broad essential-business
definition, he says. So we
basically had businesses operating. We had the daycares
open, we had recreation open,
and my order never actually closed any businesses. We
allowed them to operate within
the context of just limiting contact between people outside the
household.
He was relaxed from the
beginning about outdoor activities, even as critics sounded
the alarm about the beaches:
I always believed that respiratory viruses were less likely to
be transmitted in a hot outdoor
environment, and then you
started to see the studies come
in, in March, saying that thats
what it was.
He thinks that the relatively short, relatively capacious
shutdown order has allowed
Florida to be ahead of the
curve of reopening of the more
restrictive states. DeSantis
maintains that what we did in
March and April is the equivalent of what New York will be
or California, when they go to
phase three.
Looking ahead, he says,
being measured and being
thoughtful and just following
data is important. Hes not
following the advice of some
people to, as he puts it, just
rip off the Band-Aid and just
go whole hog. In looking at
the cases every day, there are
cases in prisons and nursing
homes, but outside of southeast Florida, were not seeing
a huge amount of community
transmission, which is a good
sign. Of course, testing will
continue to be a priority, as it
has been all along.
Our 13 drive-through sites
in the state of Florida, we can
do about 10,000 tests a day, just
on those sites, he says. And
we obviously have so much
more testing going on in hospitals, doctors offices. But we
can do 10,000 tests a day, and
we average about 5,000 people
that actually come to test. So
we have a surplus of availability.
Perhaps things will still go
wrong in Florida, perhaps its
relative good fortune can be
chalked up to weather, perhaps
county-level lockdowns made
a big difference, but no one
can say that the state hasnt
taken a thoughtful approach
to the crisis. Or, no one can
reasonably say that which,
of course, hasnt stopped many
journalists.
I view it more as a badge of
honor that I was doing a good
job, DeSantis says, and that
they viewed me as a target,
because if I wasnt, they probably would just ignore me.
