The national media will tell you #MiamiBeach issued a state of emergency and shut down because of the crowds and some will lie and say it's because of Covid. That's only half the story. Here are some videos of what is really going on.

This happened TWICE at the same Resturant
And here's the aftermath. Everyone walked out on their tabs totaling over $2,000 before tips . Remember this happened TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW. But there's more....
Walking out on the bill is SO common during spring break that waiters are now having to chase down patrons and tackle them on the street. Oh yeah and don't forget the women twerking and blocking traffic which happens on every street corner. But wait there's more

We are now bearing the consequences from multiple failures by our health leadership, @adriandix, @jjhorgan, @VCHhealthcare, @PHSAofBC . #bcpoli #bc #COVID19BC
The first being the choice of managing #COVID19 for hospital capacity instead of aiming for #COVIDzero.
Then within the management regime several others failures. First: insufficient testing. Frequent testing at #LongTermCare, and #hospitals would have saved many lives. A large scale deployment of neighbourhood testing centres for anyone who wants it woudl have curbed transmission.

🚨We have some answers on the #Florida Vote By Mail ballot that boomeranged for 7 weeks through the US mail, from a North Carolina post office to a #MiamiBeach home, and ultimately cost a resident her votes.

The headline: human error.
This thread has the rest:

Laura Quinlan mailed from NC 3wks before the Aug #Florida primary. It landed at her home Tuesday “returned to sender” & “insufficient address”, tho clearly it’s the preprinted envelope destined for #Miami Dade Elections HQ
@WPLGLocal10
3/
#MIami Dade Elections has a @USPS liaison who says: the envelope should have been put in a separate, dedicated election mail stream. Instead, a carrier misfiled the envelope into the track that processes mail for return (despite the “official” logo at the top)

2/ urges ..(demands) public responsibility:
“Some say shut down? That is not answer... We shut down for 8 weeks & the moment we opened, everyone went out w/o masks (etc) & that’s where we are today. We have a behavioral issue. People are not complying...”

#summerofcycling goes on:
👉Pop-up bike lanes are the new kids on the block. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️
An incomplete summary. Thread ⬇️. Image
cont'd: Pop-up bike lanes (or emergency bike lanes) are temporary cycling infrastructure to help cyclists to maintain spatial distance to minimise the risk of infection and relieve public transport.
@Felix_Weisbrich on #TUMITV about the concept: Image
cont'd: The City of Berlin 🇩🇪 developed so called traffic regulation plans for quick implementation. Companies specializing in road marking are familiar with this type of template and work from construction sites, using markings and cones. Templates: berlin.de/sen/uvk/_asset…

Before police shooting, Ryan Simms walked Ocean Dr (👇🏼outside Mango’s), the butcher knife in his right hand (with which he’d stab a #MiamiBeach officer) & a suitcase
The pattern:Unchecked mental illness devolves into crime & awful consequences

@WPLGLocal10

Those in #Miami Dade & #Broward criminal justice systems acknowledge the disconnect: those charged with petty crime have a right to bond; if the root cause is mental illness, few services are deployed to stop that cycle.
Was Simms devolving like that?

We did this report 2yrs ago with an infuriated #MiamiBeach group who began showing up at court hearings trying to stop the revolving door.
Two of the criminals just released suddenly walked by.

Just arrived to this: shooting in the alley behind 2nd ave & Meridian... looks like someone breaking into a home where the resident has a #gun. ...
Stay tuned
@WPLGLocal10 #MiamiBeach Image
This is #MiamiBeach state rep, former city commissioner, and resident across the street from the break in & shooting ...
A #MiamiBeach neighbor snapped this pic of the man they said was the burglar (on the ground), & the resident who apparently shot him - being detained.

That guy who fired a gun on a #MiamiBeach street corner?
He’s lucky to be in jail today, instead of dead... having ignored @MiamiBeachPD officers’ commands to drop it.
Threading some detail here ....

Here’s some of the police report ...
He had already fired a shot on a busy #MiamiBeach corner, feet from a #school & a #synagogue
He had the loaded gun in his hand when @MiamiBeachPD arrived.
Turns out - it’s a weapon reported stolen 2 years ago.
It had jammed
@WPLGLocal10 2/ Image
The bullet from the shot he had fired hit the wall of a building across busy 41st street

I don’t know if it’s being forced to watch the frequency at which deeper and more widespread saltwater inundation is impacting some neighborhoods in South Florida, or if it’s the inner demons released when teenagers like #Greta admonish adults, but this fall ...

I’ve had an inordinate number of, um, skeptics (I’m trying to be kind) bending themselves into pretzels trying to contradict what we in #miami and Fort Lauderdale are plainly seeing with our own eyes:

the cities are under siege from the surging seas.

They throw around all their expertly-gathered (#sarcasm) alternative facts, like “what do you expect when you build on a swamp?” Let me enlighten you:

#BREAKING: @CBSDenver confirming that law enforcement has located 18yo Sol Pais from #SouthFlorida - the woman who made a credible threat to schools in #Denver, causing school cancellations today.
"We got her" - an FBI agent said to a local sheriff as our @CBSDenver reporter was interviewing him.
The woman law enforcement has been looking for, Sol Pais, was reportedly naked and running through the woods, armed with a gun. We are still waiting to hear bout Pais' condition.

Here we go... watch live -Miami Beach old hospital implosion ⏩ pscp.tv/w/b4XW2jY1OTc4…
Sorry all – had to cut the live feed to do a live shot - join us @WPLGLocal10 & local10.com
Some varying views - you can tell the first blast was the NW corner ... the cascading concrete fell toward that, and in on itself in a heap

It’s a beautiful day for a demolition...
T-minus 1/2 hour until the old shell of South Shore hospital implodes...
Lots of #MiamiBeach history & controversies here...
Stay tuned!
@WPLGLocal10 Image
The implosion was originally planned for last Sunday, but postponed b/c a triathlon and the since-canceled MacArthur Causeway shoot for #BadBoys3 had the same timing in this always-congested area.
Traffic is now stopped between 5-7 Streets on west side of Miami Beach...
Great spot for us east of the implosion by @WilliamRDamas !Construction guys tell me the light wind is blowing west.. toward the bay, but also toward a condo balcony where another @WPLGLocal10 crew is staged on the balcony. Uh-oh @TrentKellyWPLG ! Image

Vivo en Miami, donde en unos días se espera que llegue el huracán #Irma.

En este hilo os contaré como se está viviendo la situación.
Para ponernos en situación, #Irma es un huracán de categoría 5 (el maximo) que se originó en el Atlántico y tiene la siguiente trayectoria:
Como veis #Irma viene directa a Miami.

Pero antes pasa por las islas del Caribe, Puerto Rico, Haití, Cuba y las Bahamas.
