The city of Jacksonville scrambled this week to increase the number of wheelchairs at state-run sites providing Regeneron, the monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19, after an influx of patients came in need of care.

The city disclosed the effort when asked about a photo taken Wednesday at the site at the city's public library, which showed a woman, face down on the ground, as she awaited treatment....

Khoury said there are patients who do show up extremely sick to the sites, however, protocol suggests that if a patient is already at a point where they need hospital attention, medical professionals on site will refer them to ambulatory services.

"If they're in that state that's identified as it's too far progressed to benefit from monoclonal antibody treatment, and they need to go to the hospital, they're going to have to go to the hospital through the ambulatory service on call," Koury explained...

DeSantis and his staff are doing a great job! This story is about a facility spun up at the behest of the governor and his peeps that replaces a smaller facility. DeSantis is a victim of his success at getting the word out, if anything. While the article is attempting to slam DeSantis, it really points out the success of the program and of getting the word out. What other governor has been so proactive? I can’t think of any.

As much as I love Trump, I hope it’s DeSantis is 2024, with Trump’s role as firing up the base. I think DeSantis has a good team in Florida he can bring to Washington, and frankly, that’s something Trump can’t do.

And if MAGA is to survive as a viable movement, the torch needs to be passed on from Trump.

As many here know, last month we read in real time on the death of a dear FReeper who tried to get MAB's. Unfortunately her Covid was too far advanced. She was not infused. She died.

Are the leftists shipping in loads of infected people to Florida to create a “See, I told you so” narrative?
