Miami Congresswoman Donna Shalala, the former cabinet secretary of Health and Human Services and former UM president, told the Herald, “It is very difficult to open anything when you have community spread. We still have community spread.” She calls reopening large venues like Hard Rock Stadium “risky.”

It sounds like a big mistake, an error, a high risk activity to allow 13,000 into football games. Many will drink too much, talk too much, yell too much and many without masks controlled by the Hard Rock Stadium.

THIS IS SIMPLY AN EXPERIMENT IN COVID-19 COMMUNITY SPREAD. NOT A GOOD MODEL FOR UM STUDENT BEHAVIOR.

Since Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state moratorium on evictions and foreclosures April 2, the number of filings in Tampa Bay area courts have been down compared to last year, a signal that many landlords could be waiting for the freeze to expire. Not Tzadik Management. It has filed more than 70 evictions in Hillsborough County alone since that moratorium took effect. Nearly all cited nonpayment of rent.

There is ever evidence that the arrogant, selfish students at the university are almost impossible to control, especially those who live off campus. The University of Miami is soon to have more than a few students with COVID-19.

Also residents of Coral Gables are in danger in places of intersection at supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants.
