Ron DeSantis said the state still has thousands of empty beds.“We’ve got the census today, I think between 10 and 12 or 13 thousand – somewhere like that – beds are available,” said Gov.

DeSantis.On the job for nearly 20 years, White hopes the surge never comes.“We’re just going into work headstrong and trying to do the best that we can do to get through this dilemma together,” said White. “Please wear your mask.”If you are a frontline healthcare worker and you would like to share your story, please send an email to Mahsa Saeidi atThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Nowno iframe support!✕× Close Ad
