Hello and welcome to Friday.
The daily rundown Between Wednesday and Thursday, the number of Florida coronavirus cases increased by 6,640 (nearly 0.4 percent), to 1,892,301; active hospitalizations went down by 115 (2.8 percent), to 3,962; deaths rose by 138 (nearly 0.5 percent), to 30,478; 2,838,326 Floridians have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
FORT LAUDERDALE Almost immediately after bullets stopped ringing out at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018, and 17 students and faculty were dead, a crop of surviving students raised their voices to demand action.
They planned and led marches all around the country. They took to town halls and pressured their local public officials. Their faces were splashed on television screens and magazine covers. Their advocacy was rewarded by small, but significant changes in Florida legislation.
Three years later, many of these students are attempting to juggle the normal things young college students these days juggle: Zoom classes, relationships and thoughts about their futures. The only difference is many of them now have hundreds of thousands of followers, national platforms and all the attention that comes with that.
