oh no (part 2)

It's been 24 hours of sadness, worry and frustration.

A 70-something family member passed away yesterday after a week of fever. Just collapsed in the bathroom, pronounced dead at the hospital.

Now the Volusia County medical establishment says they won't perform a covid-19 test, since the person's already gone. (But 2 people who were in the house subsequently have been told to quarantine.)

Is the lack of testing related to Florida's unforgivable fudging of pandemic numbers?

My relative was a passionate liberal and contrarian and I myself am no stranger to a good fight.

A cousin who's a medical provider is on it, too.

So, game on.

And fuck you, DeSantis.

We're going to make sure our fallen loved one is counted.
