A group of attorneys in Jacksonville, Fla., filed a lawsuit on Wednesday to block the Republican National Convention from taking place in the city next month.
The lawsuit, filed in Duval County, points to several arguments why the city should not host the event as Florida’s case numbers continue to spike, saying the convention would be "a nuisance injurious to the health [and] welfare" of the community.
"To avoid community spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and welfare of Plaintiffs and the community, it is necessary and essential that all super spreader events where large numbers of people congregate in close proximity indoors not occur,” the suit reads.
The attorneys filed the lawsuit days after Florida set a record for the most COVID-19 cases confirmed in a single day in a state during the pandemic, with 11,458 cases on Saturday. Overall, Florida has documented 223,783 total cases and 3,889 fatalities, and Duval County accounts for 10,439 of those cases and 70 of the deaths, according to state data.
The attorneys attribute the rise in cases in Florida to the loosening of restrictions in the state, particularly on public gatherings.
Their suit warns that "the congregation of thousands of people in close proximity for extended periods of time will constitute a nuisance and result in massive spread of COVID-19 among the persons in attendance and throughout the City of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida and interfere in Plaintiffs' use and enjoyment of their property and right to be free of infliction of disease and death."

If people want to wear a diaper on their face, they are certainly able to do so, according to their own free will. If not, then they have free will to not do so. Who are these dufuses who think they should decide anything in a city or state, when they are unelected, useless rats sucking blood money out of everyone who is forced through unconstitutional edicts to come seek help from these same bloodsuckers.
Anyone believing the numbers coming out of CDC is delusional... it is time for the President to fire several of the lead members of the COVID19 Taskforce and Dr.Fauci... Fauci's job was to be prepared for such a pandemic... too, ensure the nation and its state and country health departments were ready for such a pandemic... he failed miserably and continues to fail the president and public in fighting this pandemic. He refuses to acknowledge treatment regimes that are working citing bureaucratic regulations that would deny their benefit ... fire this murdering sob..
There are several treatments being used by physicians that have reportedly cured this virus.... starting with hydroxychloroquine and zinc and the most recent one is a long-held asthma steroidal treatments are reported to rapidly cure COVID19... more and more it is obvious that the CDC and FDA are DELIBERATELY withholding effective treatments for COVID19... time fo fire them all ... every damn one of them.
