This Wednesday Morning, April 15th, from 6:30-7:30 AM we will Facebook live stream our 35th District 1 Coffee with a Commissioner event.
We will conduct the coffee meeting over the ZOOM platform and stream it on Facebook in real time so that folks that are up early and interested can watch and ask questions of the panel.
Everyone is invited to join-in live at https://www.facebook.com/CommissionerBergosh/ , or folks can watch the video later at their own convenience.
With the COVID-19 Worldwide Pandemic upending life as we know it, we have transformed our District 1 coffee events from community gatherings where citizens and I interact on a host of county issues (primarily infrastructure, taxes, policy, land-use, quality of life, growth management, etc.) to a platform where I seek out important health experts and community leaders to answer pressing questions about this virus and to disseminate the answers to Escambia County Constituents.
We are all going through this together, and I know we will get through this together! And until we do, I am committed to bringing these meetings together weekly so citizens can learn all they can about what is going on and have interesting questions answered from folks in the medical/operations field who can answer these questions. If anyone would like, you can email your COVID-19 questions to me at district1@myescambia.com and I will ask them, or you can ask them in realtime on the Wednesday live stream....
Some initial questions I'll be asking:
1. How do the hospital professionals know the difference between when an individual is an asymptomatic "carrier" of the disease and not a person who has "recovered" from COVID-19? What, specifically distinguishes one from another?
2. South Korean officials report previously positive COVID-19 cases of individuals who have recovered are now testing "positive" for COVID-19 again. Is that true, and have we seen this here?
3. Can "recovered" COVID-19 patients transmit the disease once they are recovered?
4. How is West Florida doing in terms of PPE?
5. Do you envision a date when "at-home" testing for this virus will be available nationwide?
6. Is West Florida Hospital utilizing the "cocktail" of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin that President Trump has mentioned in his briefings?
7. Why do you believe our experience is so different than other places where Hospitals are over-run and ventilators and beds are in short supply? Is this indicative of us doing a better job of social distancing and other measures?
8. How has this crisis negatively impacted your operations?
9. Have there been any positive outcomes gleaned from this experience at WF Hospital?
10. What do you believe will be the long-term implications, on Hospitals like yours, of what we are experiencing with COVID-19?
