Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, has been partially closed after staff members tested positive for the coronavirus. That?s according to several people, including one familiar with club operations, who said Mar-a-Lago had ?partially closed? a section of the club and quarantined
some of its
workers ?out of an abundance of caution.? The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation by name. An email sent to members said that service had been temporarily suspended in the club?s dining room and at its beach club because

some staff members had recently tested positive. It said the club had undertaken ?all appropriate response measures,? including sanitizing affected areas,? and that banquet and event services remain open. ?The health and safety of our members and staff is our highest priority,? it
read. The Florida Department of Health did not immediately respond to a phone call and email. Trump moved to Mar-a-Lago after leaving Washington in January, and has spent the weeks since then laying low, golfing, dining with friends, meeting with Republican party leaders and
plotting
his political future as he considers running again in 2024. Trump was hospitalized with COVID-19 last fall and has since been vaccinated against the virus. Mar-a-Lago was the site of his first known exposure more than a year ago. A senior Brazilian official tested positive

last year after spending time at Mar-a-Lago, where he posed for a photo next to Trump and attended a family birthday party. The Trump White House was hit with several subsequent outbreaks after it flouted virus precautions by resisting mask-wearing and continuing to hold large
events. The club in Palm Beach has been a flurry of activity in recent weeks, hosting events and fundraisers, including one to benefit rescue dogs. Trump unexpectedly dropped by the event last week. In January, Palm Beach County issued a warning to Mar-a-Lago?s management
after a
New Year?s Eve party that violated an ordinance requiring employees and guests to wear masks. Video of the party posted online by Trump?s son, Donald Trump Jr., showed that few of the 500 guests wore masks as they crowded the dance floor while rapper Vanilla Ice, Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love and

singer Taylor Dayne performed. The club was told future violations would result in fines of $15,000. The former president was not present at the party. ___ Spencer reported from Fort Lauderdale. Associated Press writer Zeke Miller contributed to this report. (Well,
I hope impacted employees recover.) What do you want to bet this was kitchen staff who never had any contract with party guests ... but that wouldn't fit your narrative would it. BTW the writer must not know much about the law. There are no fines for mask violations in Florida. They can
assess them, they just can't collect them. Your appreciation for those who put others at risk of contracting COVID is, I see, unabated. Like all the people from up north who descend on Florida during springbreak?So far the biggest problem we have is in miami and it

isn't collegekids on spring break, it is thugs from the Acela corridor coming downto cause trouble. We are seeing violent street rampages, assaults, guns and generalmayhem. It is not the normal underage drinking, balcony climbing, publicurination and on the beach sex we see with spring breakers.
The mayor says"I don't see this is a sort of spring break thing, because I don'tthink these are college kids," Gelber said. "I think it changes thenature of what we're in front of here. I think there are very fewplaces that are open as we have been and as our state has been open.And there are even

precious
fewer places as beautiful as ours that isopen."Miami isn't normally a spring break location anyway. They were alsopretty much kicked out of Ft Lauderdale years ago. Now spring Break is Daytona, Cocoa Beach and up that way on the eastcoast for the I-95 crowd and the midwest kids go to the Gulf beaches.We

are packed here with no particular issues other than the drinking,****ing and acting stupid stuff. I am not even hearing much about thatbut you can't get me near the beach in the spring. I have to do waterin two weeks and I dread driving down that way. I wonder how much an Uber driver would charge to drop off my
samples. ===There's always FedEx overnight.Not fast enough. There is a 6-8 hour window between collection andarrival at the lab. ===If you're going to FMB, boat might be the best option, otherwise fromthe south of course.Too much No Wake. Stuck in traffic is better.

Gotta protect Buffet's manatees, you know.


If they really want to protect manatees, stop discharging warm water
from the power plant. Put it in a cooling canal before it goes to the
river. In fact they actually heat the water artificially if it is too
cold now.
Maybe if we stopped altering their natural behavior as the ESA
directs, they would migrate south like they are supposed to and we
wouldn't have an overpopulation here devastating the sea grass in the
river all winter.
Far more die from cold stress and locks than boats (that only account
for 25%) and that number may be exaggerated. Any manatee who is found
dead with a sign of impact or fresh prop scar is chalked up to a boat
death, even if it died of something else.
Most they find in winter are starving.
I think it is funny that they are quick to blame sea grass decline on
Lake O discharges, in that one spot and ignore 200 manatee eating it.
