Jacksonville in general is getting ran through by Covid. I moved out last October and I am working remote while living in PA. Lot of friends and all of my coworker are still in Jax.

They are telling me its getting worse. Hell my job was scheduled to get back in the office after Labor day. That shyt got nixxed. Our CEO was like :merchant: when the numbers started rising. Told everyone that we are not close to coming back to the office.

The bad thing is since March cacs at the job have been clamoring to get back in the office:snoop: Talkingbout we got the vaccine and now we are all good.

‘Bracing for the worst’ in Jacksonville, Florida’s COVID-19 hot zone


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — As quickly as one COVID patient is discharged, another waits for a bed in northeast Florida, the hot zone of the state’s latest surge. But the patients at Baptist Health’s five hospitals across Jacksonville are younger and getting sick from the virus faster than people did last summer.

Baptist has over 500 COVID patients, more than twice the number they had at the peak of Florida’s July 2020 surge, and the onslaught isn’t letting up. Hospital officials are anxiously monitoring 10 forecast models, converting empty spaces, adding over 100 beds and “bracing for the worst,” said Dr. Timothy Groover, the hospitals’ interim chief medical officer.

“Jacksonville is kind of the epicenter of this. They had one of the lowest vaccination rates going into July and that has probably really came back to bite them,” said Justin Senior, CEO of the Florida Safety Net Hospital Alliance, which represents some of the largest hospitals in the state.
