Roy Exum: A Matter Of Time Sunday, July 25, 2021 - by Roy Exum Roy Exum I sensed “something evil this way comes” when, in the middle of my “Morning Readings” on Sunday I went to the Orlando Sentinel’s website to peer in on the recent surge of COVID-19 virus. There is a new Delta variant that has just hit Florida and I wondered how bad it was. Apparently those who are vaccinated have a good resistance but for those who are not, it is pretty scary. I had no idea how scary. Mind you, Florida has a population of 19.1 million people with a 60 percent vaccination rate. Tennessee has a population of 7 million with a 44 percent vaccination rate. Get this: Florida is off the charts, with 10 times more cases in less than a month. Four weeks ago, Florida was averaging about 1,500 new cases a day; now it is 13,256. That’s more than the entire nation has been averaging on a slow day in June.
