Sarasota County Commissioner Nancy Detert tests positive for COVID-19
SARASOTA COUNTY – Sarasota County Commissioner Nancy Detert said Tuesday that she tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month.
Detert, who had missed two public meetings in January, described her symptoms as mild and said she felt compelled to come forward about her diagnosis because she wanted to share her experience.
She also wanted to encourage others who may experience similar symptoms to get tested.
“It was a rather startling experience for me,” Detert told fellow commissioners.
She said she suffered from extreme exhaustion.
Detert initially thought she had a cold. She canceled her son’s birthday party and was later encouraged by family to get tested.
Venice City Council member Helen Moore tests positive for COVID-19
VENICE – Venice City Council member Helen Moore has tested positive for COVID-19. The news became public Wednesday, as Moore explained in an email available on the city server that she could not attend a meeting of the Sarasota County Tourist Development Council in person on Thursday afternoon.
“I hadn’t felt very well on Monday, I was a little crummy on Sunday and I was supposed to be in chambers for a council meeting on Tuesday for a body quorum, but I woke up Tuesday morning running a high fever over 101,” Moore said Thursday morning. She alerted City Manager Ed Lavallee and arrangements were made to have four council members attend in chambers, with council member Mitzie Fiedler – who had planned to attend via Zoom – coming into the chambers.

President, GOP to blame for insurrection
OMG! We are now officially a Third World country! Led by a would-be dictator, emperor and king, and enabled by the majority of his party, officials and supporters.
Donald Trump’s “go home” message to the mob included talk about the “stolen” election and called essentially anyone who voted against him “evil.”
He told the mob to go in peace, and “We love you.”
Why have we allowed this to happen?
Trump and his official enablers should be arrested for incitement to riot! If you’re an American, regardless of political party, you’ve got to be upset at the insurrection in D.C.
