As Covid numbers climb, some Pinellas County hospitals report zero ICU beds

At one point Thursday afternoon, St. Petersburg General Hospital had zero adult ICU beds available, according to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. The same was true for Largo Medical Center on Friday.

However, that’s not to say that someone showing up at the hospital won’t be able to get that level of care if they need it.

Transforming words into action against gun violence in St. Pete’s Black community

I’ve decided to revisit the issue of gun violence again this week, since it remains at the forefront of discussion among many of the city’s Black residents who are urgently seeking a solution.  

Two recent community conversations give me reason to hope that the torrent of words will be followed by effective action. For that, I’m counting on African-American City Council members Lisa Wheeler-Bowman and Deborah Figgs-Sanders, who have spearheaded the effort to end the violence using a rallying cry of “Enough is Enough.”
