Tampa Mayor Jane Castor was acting on behalf of her city to combat the coronavirus about a week before her state's governor did the same for all of Florida
When there's a hurricane, the rest of the country comes to their rescue. Not now. Covid-19 is like a hurricane hitting everyone, everywhere."You can't send out the call for help," Castor told CNN in a virtual interview from Tampa's Old City Hall."In this situation, the rest of the country is in the same position as we are, and so it's something that each and every one of us throughout the nation are going to have to address -- really on our own," she added.
"No one in the United States has been able to test at an adequate level. I mean, we in essence have lost that battle," she added with chilling yet realistic bluntness. She forced a stay-at-home order in Tampa while statewide, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held off. As the US last month was wrapping its head around the need for social distancing to fight the virus, some of the starkest images of defiance were apparent at Florida's beaches.
