FRIDAYS ORDERS

DADE SAO  AND COURTS IN TURMOIL: Courts in Dade are open. We think. No trials but full calendars requiring all sorts of personnel to stream into a building that is an incubator of germs. No social distancing for Dade Courts, and the fact that employees will go home and infect their families doesn't seem to matter one damn bit to the people in charge. 
Dade Prosecutors and staff have to report to work. Schools are closed but they cannot bring their children. If they are not sick and take off from work they will be using vacation time. Thank you KFR for that cruel blow. 
On a larger scale WHAT DON'T THESE PEOPLE GET? 
We can defeat this virus, especially in the heat of South Florida, if we let it burn out by practising social distancing. The less people get together, the less chance of transmission. Could we reduce criminal county court to three judges and staff? NO...Not in Dade. Open all courts and fully staff them. Could we reduce ciricuit court to four judges handling arraignments and bonds and emergency matters? NOPE not here. Every Judge has at least one JA, a Bailiff, two in court clerks, and two corrections officers. Take ten judges out of the picture and you reduce traffic into the courthouse by 70 people. But that makes too much sense for our court leaders who are bound and determined to get everyone's family exposed. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING. YOU ARE NOT LEADING. YOU ARE REACTING. YOU COULD HAVE SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN A MONTH AGO. BUT YOU WAITED and now Publix is out of toliet paper because of the panic. We hope you are happy. 

UPDATE: COURT PRESS CONFERNCE: Find the errors in the picture!

ERRORS: 1) Lack of social distancing. People are closer than six feet; 2: No Purell on the podium; and under you cannot make this stuff up 3) THE MAN IN BLUE IN THE FAR LEFT IS INFECTING HIMSELF BY TOUCHING HIS NOSE. This is a Covid-19 violation of the first order. He should be immediately quarantined. It's as if he shared a big mac or slice of pizza with the Dade County Mayor. Shame! Shame! Shame!

UPDATED SEE BELOW Chock full of new and important information you need. They sneeze. We report. You decide. 

Broward courts to operate on a restricted basis. Jury Trials for March 16 and March 23 are suspended.

People who have been to China, Iran, Italy and Hialeah within the last 14 days may not enter Broward County or the Court System. 

Feds stay open because the Covid-19 did not follow the local rules so the magistrate struck it's infection rate.

Miami Dade Schools Close Monday for one week and then spring break for one week. This will allow for a 14 day social separating to allow the virus to burn out.  Breakfast and Lunch hot meals will still be available for children and families who need it. (Well done Miami Dade).

But make no mistake about it. Virus. Health crisis. Financial meltdown. None of it matters. Dade Courts and judges will make sure those disorderly conduct cases get the jury trials they deserve.
