    The numbers in this state aren't going to dip much unless they just eliminate testing (don't put it past Errand Boy Ron to fudge the numbers a bit leading into the RNC). The post July 4 numbers will not be pretty and with the RNC in Duval in August there will be a spike after that.

    Elite marathoning is done for the year.

    I'd say elite running for a long time.

    The NYC Marathon has been canceled for just the second time since it was launched in 1970. The Marine Corps Marathon is still on, but other races by the same organizers that weekend have been canceled.

    Duval does not want this convention- check out recent polling. Not close at all.

    In a Republican stronghold that hasn't gone to a Democrat since Jimmy Carter.

    I can't believe the Tour de France is still going to happen. Lots of riding in tight quarters in that event.

    I'm sure the riders have been microdosing hydroxychloroquine along with their HGH so they'll be fine.

    OK, I laughed out loud at that one.

    Yeah, there might be a dozen bikes left in the peloton on the Champs Elysées.

    5,000 new cases in Florida today. Great time to roll out a season.

    Nope, but Governor Trump wants it there and Errand Boy Ron is at his service.
