While litigants get to choose their court, they do not get to choose the judge. It is ordinarily some sort of random assignment. There are 12 federal district judges (including regular judges and those with senior status) located in Tampa. The Middle District of Florida also has judges sitting in Orlando, Fort Myers and Jacksonville, for a total of 28 judges - it is a busy district.
I vote for Cerberus....
In that case I vote for Medusa. Problem solved.
I'm not so sure how good an idea this is. The numbers are higher there than here in Pittsburgh. There is no indoor mask mandate here, but the numbers, while still low, are going up. We went from 400+ two weeks ago to 900+ last week, to 1200+ this week.Philadelphia's indoor mask mandate is coming to an end.
"Due to decreasing hospitalizations and a leveling of case counts, the City will move to strongly recommending masks in indoor public spaces as opposed to a mask mandate," a spokesperson with the Philadelphia Health Department told NBC10 Thursday night. "Given the latest data, the BOH voted to rescind the mandate."
The mandate will be lifted on Friday.
Yes, it is. And they are not looking at infection rates as much as testing waste water to see where we are heading, not where we've been. I'm okay with that. I get a call and an email every Thursday that gives all that information, and I keep track of it.northland10 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 11:52 pm I think more governments are looking toward hospitalization rates now and less at infection rates. While that also looks to be going up slightly in Allegheny county, it is still really low.
Mea culpa for 5 paras.Does a Face Mask Work if You’re the Only Person Wearing One?
Universal masking is best, but one-way masking still protects wearer from COVID-19
The answer: It’s “absolutely safer to wear a mask, regardless if those around you are not wearing one,” says Brandon Brown, M.D., an associate professor in the Department of Social Medicine, Population and Public Health at University of California Riverside School of Medicine. That said, the level of safety and protection depends on the type of mask you wear and how you wear it, experts say.
Focus on fit of face mask
Fit is key, however. Even a high-quality mask doesn’t do much good if unfiltered air seeps in because it’s too loose. You want to make sure the mask completely covers your nose and mouth and that there are no gaps along the edges.
To test your fit, breathe in. If the mask collapses slightly, “that tells you that there's a tight-enough seal around your face, and that essentially all the air that you're breathing in is going through the filter part of the mask and not coming in through the edges,” Fabian says.
When you exhale, you shouldn’t see any condensation on your glasses. (You can use a cold spoon that’s been in the fridge for a few minutes to do this test if you don’t wear glasses.) “Because similarly, the air should just be coming out through the filter and not through gaps around your nose,” Fabian says.
Don’t have an N95 mask? Check to see if your local pharmacy is distributing them for free under a federal program. (The CDC has a free-mask locator online; you can also call 800-232-0233.) A word of warning: Beware of counterfeit masks being sold online, UC Riverside’s Brown says. The CDC maintains a list of N95 masks approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, as well as examples of counterfeit versions.

The Covid vax demand and subsequent firing has turned out to be a very costly authoritarian oopsie for NY Democrats.
The Supreme Court of the State of New York includes 62 courts—one supreme court for each county. These courts are the highest trial courts in New York State, and are of general jurisdiction.
The New York Supreme Courts are not New York's courts of last resort. The Court of Appeals is the highest court in New York.
