fight between school superintendents and governor desantis over masking but what are your concerns about kids in florida in terms of covid? no one wants a child to get covid and certainly to end up in the hospital. i will say that of our 17,000 previously or 17,000 hospitalizations or the 14,800 today, pediatric hospitalizations are still very low relative to the overall hospitalizations. today we have roughly in the entire state, 200 pediatric hospitalizations. so a trend that we are closely monitoring, as we are monitoring the case trend, the cases in florida are starting to go down. the number of positive cases given that there is still a significant percentage of those that may be children testing positive, we are not likely to see ongoing increases in our
different impact. we saw a dramatic increase in hospitalizations over a 7 week period. we reached a peak of 17,000 hospitalizations. what is very different during this surge is that we have had healthy 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, who have been hospitalized as a result of covid. right now, we are seeing very encouraging trends. our hospitalizations have dropped dramatically. we are now down to 14,800 hospitalizations. this is extremely encouraging, our admissions are dropping as well. so there are signs that we have peaked and are heading in the right direction. that sounds like a ray of light in this bad news. to what do you attribute that? why do you think the hospitalizations are down? much like we ve seen in other parts of the world, the uk

don t expect to see any new ones on the road after next year. today gm, after buying back stock and getting a massive tax cut that s ballooning the deficit, it announced it s closing plants and cutting jobs to improve its bottom line. these are not performing or seen not part of the future. they are all gone. where? five plants. one in canada, two in michigan and one is ohio and maryland. what does that mean? big cuts. 15% of the salaried work force, thousands of hourly workers, 14,800 jobs. why? gm says it s all part of restructuring for the future. taking steps to shift into self-driving and electric vehicles that customers want. do you have to cut labor? that s about bottom line. this move will save the company $6 billion a year by the end of 2020. that is called addition to the
