Marion County, with a population of about 370,000, has had nearly 6,800
confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, with 104
deaths. Marion reported a single-day record of 13 deaths on Tuesday,
county officials said.

According to the Star-Banner, 43 sheriff's office employees €” including
several patrol officers €” and more than 200 inmates at the Marion County
Jail have tested positive for coronavirus.

Woods' office did not return calls from NPR seeking comment.

The sheriff's order came one day after Kent Guinn, the mayor in the
county seat of Ocala, vetoed a city council ordinance requiring all
indoor establishments, including houses of worship and government
buildings, to display signs asking people to wear masks or risk a $25
fine. The council overrode Guinn's veto on Wednesday.


He didn't even want a *request* that they wear a mask. Is there some
special school that teaches them to be stupid.

He's a classic Florida Man.

hyper-weirdness of the Sunshine State, but more often simply document
the travails of the drug-addicted, mentally ill, and homeless"

So is the sheriff drug-addicted, mentally ill, or homeless?

Mentally ill. Or at least suffering from a severe cognitive deficit.
