he goes to tallahassee. and is surrounded by drooling seeds everywhere. he just ran out and went crazy. them is sitting in the swamp roasting up opossum. a hard look harmless little scene. almost a warm and fuzzy atmosphere to it. the character now goes by the name of stink in my novel. that little section in the book he all the sudden starts saying and doing things that i always fantasized about. i keep him around. he becomes a moral engine. and really propels everything else that's going on. he would not had been able to do that. he has appeared in several novels in different ways. i wanted to see him again. our lives are outlined. it's all serendipity and chants and good luck and bad luck. so whenever i'm starting a novel is what i do is i always have the characters in my had first. i start assembling a cast of characters. just to write about in general. what would happen if you put them on the stage and just letting them bump into each other. that is not something that any creative writer teacher is going to recommend. it's what keeps it interesting.

it should regenerate areas from atlanta south wards through tallahassee. 30 million people at risk for severe storms and there is a possibility of a few strong tornados. this is the same area that has been hit time after time late march into april. a huge area from nachase to jackson, and our friends in starkville are under a flash flood warning. to the northeast, an active weather pattern. it will be rainy and damp from d.c. to boston. strong storms in florida. if you get one day to get outside and do something, it will be on saturday in the areas of the northeast. then another shot of rain into the ohio valley. guess where that is heading on sunday? into areas of the northeast again. so an ugly friday, an ugly sunday. not severe weather, but just not the type of weather you're going to want to get outside in and be around your yard if you can safely be anywhere around where you live. let's get into the numbers. i've been promising to give you these just about every single day. let me show you what is happening with the fatality curves. yesterday was the fifth deadly evidence day with

of humanity and that he was going to speak with florida's governor which happened this morning from tallahassee to white house via the phone line. on tuesday, broward county commissioners met to figure out how to deal with these issues but failed to come to a decision. they are still working on those discussions right now. to allow the ships back into port, it's going to take a unanimous decision by the unified command and that includes the coast guard, customs and border protection, state health department and the port. florida's governor ron desantis is speaking with the president, he said or he was speaking live right now from tallahassee. he did indicate that the 50 or so floridians who are on these two cruise ships will somehow be allowed to come home and come to shore. there are broward county residents which is where we are on board these ships as well. he wants, the governor is still hoping to possibly have tenders or boats with medical equipment as well as medical experts go out to the ships and treat any of these remaining sick people out there. then the question is what to do with al

tallahassee, florida. good evening. caller: my question is about transmissibility to and from our domestic animals, cats and dogs. we have new information about that. the information seems to be conflicting. we are told that the pets can get coronavirus from humans. but that humans cannot get it from pets. i thought that mammals could transmit these diseases across species. i just wondered what you could tell us about that. examplehis is a great of what happens whenever there's a new infectious disease. what we don't know always outweighs what we know. here, in terms of the role of animals, the ability for animals to get infection or spread infection, there's a lot of learning that's going on here. of covide been cases infection that have been seen in domestic cats. i understand there was a case of a dog. there's new guidance from cdc and how to interact with your pets. if you have covid infection and the ability to have someone take care of your pet, that is a good thing to do. if your pet is sick and you are a high ri

of look at in terms of population, in terms of, some are geographically similar, some are similar, tallahassee, laredo texas, total number of cases, and this is the cases per thousand, and sioux falls is highlighted in yellow. and this should be concerning to our community. this keeps me up at night right now. this number. we're obviously the highest among the peer cities. and so our time to act on this is right now. so saturday, i did send a formal request to governor noem to issue a shelter in place, for minnehaha and lincoln counties. i feel that based on this, based on a lot of other data that we have, the time to act is now. if we just take the average doubling rate of all of those peer cities i just showed you, we'll be here, but we are by far outperforming in a bad way our peer cities. so if we continue the trend that we have been on, the last four or five, six days, we are going to be up here, very shortly. this is a crippling number to our health care systems, okay? this is very bad. this is a very bad outlook. that is why a shelter in place order is needed now. it's needed today. >>

matter of fact, he issued his order about 90 minutes before a judge in the state capital in tallahassee was having a hearing with lawyers who filed a suit to try to bring about a statewide mandate for stay-at-home. those lawyers saying he believes this was the governor's response to their lawsuit. the details, well, as you noted, there's going to be a stay-at-home order for 30 days. it will go into effect beginning thursday at midnight. the beaches will be impacted. in much of the state there are still areas where the beaches are wide open. new smyrna, daytona, along the panhandle. this stay-at-home order will have an impact on that. you noted we have the cruise ships behind me. we're at port everglades. if you look at airports, you can see planes stacked up. these ships are empty. the two ships headed here, the rotterdam and the zaandam, 2,500 crew and passengers on board, four dead, nine positive tests for covid-19 and about 200 that the cruise line says they're treating as if they have coronavirus with their flu-like symptoms. that brings us now to what the coast guard has issued in
