Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis announced in the opening of his Saturday coronavirus briefing that hospital systems in Dade, Broward and Hillsborough counties, plus some hospitals in Orlando will receive the drug.

Idiots got played

there are some lupus patients who wouldn't mind getting it for the cost of postage.
