¶ The man who wasn’t there Our absent governor and all-purpose invisible man Ron DeSantis briefly emerged from his post-election exile with the release of a five-minute video touting his optimism for a coronavirus vaccine to arrive sooner rather than later (“DeSantis ‘hopes’ yet-to-beapproved vaccines will be available in Florida in 3 to 6 weeks,” Nov. 20). Since DeSantis refuses to meaningfully govern to stop the out-ofcontrol coronavirus in the state he leads, this is what passes for health policy in this state. @Mike Guthrie Do you really think Floridians will even take the vaccine when they can’t even wear a mask? @Leo Cabrera The FDA will be glad to hear this news.
doing a damn thing to help other than open businesses so that more of us can keep getting this thing. Hope in one hand and shit in the other, dude …
¶ Patient zeroes A number of newly elected Florida state representatives did not attend the recent one-day legislative session in Tallahassee because they had tested positive for COVID-19 or been exposed to the coronavirus recently (“9 COVID-infected legislators had to sit out the legislative organization session,” Nov. 20). Even with that sobering statistic, nearly 20 legislators went maskless during the in-person meeting. And if you guessed that Rep. Anthony Sabatini, R-Howey-in-the-Hills, was driving that clown car, you are correct!
@Lisa Mello Who would want to chance getting it? Fastest vaccine ever produced, no thank you.
@Alex Conde So you should never take care of yourself after being tested for any disease, especially if you are healthy at the moment. Idiots!
@David Ingram Who will he kiss butt on now that Trump is a one-termer?
@Tara Henderson Well Sabatini is a moron of the highest order, so consider the source.
@Hillary Fenner You know what would really help is a f-ing mask mandate.
@Stephen Russo Blind FL legislature continues. Stupidity begins local.
@Sean Patrick I’m a Republican and I liked him but fuck him.
@Abby Skib Maybe they need a new job?????
@Ivan Williams And will also continue not
@Bill DeZego How many generations of incest did it take to make Sabatini so damn stupid …

TINY HANDS, TINY DESK. | OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTO BY SHEALAH CRAIGHEAD
THE DISINFORMATION AGE How does a country function when half its people have lost their minds? BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N
“As far as the civil war goes,” Jason
Strickland, the mayor of the 1,400-person town of Sundown, Texas, told Reuters recently, “I don’t think it’s off the table.” Strickland, an oilfield production engineer, joined a militia-type outfit called the South Plains Patriots. As another member explained, “If President Trump comes out and says: ‘Guys, I have irrefutable proof of fraud, the courts won’t listen, and I’m now calling on Americans to take up arms,’ we would go.” They, like two-thirds of Republicans, say they’re certain that Donald Trump won re-election but had his victory stolen through a vast conspiracy of ballot-stuffing election officials and vote-switching vote-counting machines hacked by foreign powers. (It’s not clear how many of them actually mean it.) Trump is still fanning the flames. He spent Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox News show, gassing about how he had “tremendous proof” of fraud and claiming that his loss was “statistically impossible.” He spent Sunday night — after 60 Minutes aired an interview with the election security chief Trump fired for saying the election was “the most secure in American history” — venting on Twitter: “We have some big things happening in our various litigations on the Election Hoax. Everybody knows it was Rigged.” Actually, nothing is happening in their “various litigations.” On Friday, a federal appeals court rejected Trump’s request to block Pennsylvania from certifying its results. On Saturday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court tossed a Republican congressman’s lawsuit alleging that a law passed by the Republican legislature to make mail-in vot-
ing easier violated the state constitution, so all mail-in ballots should now be thrown out and Trump should be declared the winner. (That was a real argument, I swear to God.) Similarly, the much-hyped “Kraken” lawsuits filed by not-quite-official Trump lawyer Sidney Powell against Georgia and Michigan became instant internet gold not just because of Powell’s hilarious unfamiliarity with spellcheck, but also for their fusillade of factual errors, unproven assertions, absurd arguments, citations of random tweets and even ethical breaches. By now, it should be obvious to anyone with firing neurons and access to Google that this smorgasbord of paranoia and ignorance is based on nothing more than the delusional rantings of an addled 74-year-old. While I could spend thousands of words rebutting these claims — no, Detroit didn’t have more votes than registered voters; no, there’s nothing unusual about urban counties reporting late; no, Dominion Voting Systems was never affiliated with Hugo Chavez — ultimately, there’s little point. Conspiracy theories are self-reinforcing. They’re impervious to fact checks. As Lin Wood tweeted (and Trump retweeted) before he and Powell filed the Georgia lawsuit: “Enemies of America will deny its allegations. Do NOT believe them. Believe Sidney & me. We love America & freedom. Our enemies do not.” It pains me to be an enemy of America, but there’s an issue we need to reckon with: Tens of millions of Trump voters have become unmoored from reality. And this belief in a low-rent conspiracy theory — which some Republicans argued justified staging legislative coups — will soon become an article of faith.
Our democracy withstood Trump’s attacks, barely. But that’s hardly cause for celebration. This year was less an aberration than the culmination of the cynical, total-war politics Republicans have employed since the Gingrich era, one that brooks no compromise and prospers by tearing down political systems. Fortified by a feedback loop of propaganda — first talk radio and Fox News, then the clickbait sites Facebook delivered to Boomers’ feeds, now the Pravda-esque OANN and Newsmax — the GOP became a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. To be sure, belief in conspiracy theories isn’t a conservative pathology. It’s a human trait, primed by millions of years of evolution, arguably driven by the same forces that create religions: a need to see patterns in noise and causal agents to explain phenomena. People across the political spectrum who lack trust in institutions tend to embrace conspiracies out of “motivated reasoning” — an effort to validate a pre-existing worldview inconsistent with the available facts. But here’s the difference: The more knowledgeable liberals become, the less likely they are to buy conspiracies. For conservatives, the opposite is true. As reliant as Trump was on the “poorly educated” white working class, and as eager as the left has been to paint his followers as illiterate dolts, his most fervent and politically engaged supporters — those who embraced his anti-liberal, anti-expert, antielitist messaging — had college degrees. These are exactly the people research says comprise the high-knowledge, low-trust sweet spot in which conspiracy theories take root, flourish and thrive. Nothing or no one short of Trump himself can convince them that Biden won. And the party’s elites — the ones who know better — have been cowed into silence, terrified of landing on the wrong side of an angry tweet, hoping this insanity will disappear when Trump does. It won’t. And Trump’s not going anywhere. Come Jan. 20, he’ll no longer be president, but he’ll remain head of the Republican Party in everything but title. The problem isn’t just that the inmates took over the asylum. It’s that radicalization has inertia. It devours the impure. Already, Trump turned on Georgia’s far-right governor and Republican secretary of state for not helping him steal the election. He threatened to have Ohio’s governor primaried for acknowledging Biden’s win. He spurned Fox News for the more obsequious OANN, and his supporters followed. So long as Trump and his acolytes and wannabes control the GOP, the party will be wedded to the fiction that he lost because of a conspiracy no one quite understands and that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. No deviation from the orthodoxy will be tolerated. Republican states will erect barriers to mail-in voting to “restore trust.” Republican senators will hold hearings on election fraud so Lindsey Graham can grill Dominion executives about their seances with Hugo Chavez’s ghost. Maybe Q will moderate a 2024 GOP presidential forum. America now has two political parties, but they’re not Democrat and Republican in the traditional sense. One is a broad, loose-knit, often ineffective coalition stitched together by its fear of the other guys; the other is, well, the other guys, who have lost their fucking minds. We shouldn’t pretend this isn’t the case or kid ourselves that it’s going to get better before it gets worse.

State of Florida wrangles with drug companies over opioid profits Cardinal Health, one of the country’s major drug distributors, is fighting Florida’s attempt to glean how much profit the company has made distributing pain medications, as the state tries to recoup money spent combating opioid addiction and overdoses. The wrangling over Cardinal’s profits comes in a lawsuit filed more than two years ago by the Florida attorney general’s office seeking unspecified damages against drug manufacturers, retailers and distributors. The case is one of myriad similar legal challenges throughout the country about the devastation wrought by opioids such as oxycodone. The Florida litigation includes a tangle over records sought by Attorney General Ashley Moody in the state’s effort to collect information about pain pill distribution and prescriptions going back more than two decades. Pasco County Circuit Judge Kimberly Sharpe last week gave Walgreen Co., known as Walgreens, 90 days to turn over dozens of categories of dispensing data from 1996 through the present from prescriptions for 39 different drugs. The information comes from prescriptions for 14 opioids, such as codeine, hydrocodone and oxycodone; 14 types of benzodiazepines, including diazepam; several muscle relaxers; six types of sleeping pills; and naloxone, an opioid treatment. The sought-after Walgreens prescription data also includes the names of prescribing physicians or health care providers; names of pharmacists dispensing the drugs; “unique” identifying numbers associated with patients; and the types of identification used by people picking up prescriptions. Moody’s office is also seeking information about the drugs’ retail prices, the costs of the drugs to the pharmacy and the amounts charged to third-party payers for each of the prescriptions, requests that caused Walgreens to balk. “The state appears to have included these topics for the purposes of attempting to devise some calculation of Walgreens’ profits from opioid sales. None of them are relevant to the question to whether an individual prescription was properly filled,” the pharmacy chain’s lawyers wrote in a status report filed this month. Sharpe’s Nov. 23 order, however, requires Walgreens to provide the pricing information. Cardinal is also pushing back against the state’s requests for information about its finances. The state is seeking “documents showing Cardinal Health’s revenues and profits from sales or distribution of opioids in Florida — information that is indisputably relevant to damages, among other issues in this case,” lawyers representing Moody’s office wrote in a status report filed on Nov. 17.
Some records already produced by Cardinal show that the company “appears to track and can identify sales or distribution of and profits from opioids in Florida,” the state’s lawyers argued. Cardinal, however, said it doesn’t have the documentation the state is seeking. “This is litigation for litigation’s sake,” lawyers for the distributor wrote in a response last week. “Cardinal Health has plainly and repeatedly answered the state’s question: Cardinal Health does not ‘calculate or report profitability for pharmaceutical products’ in the regular course of business.” But the state is pushing the issue. “Fundamentally, Cardinal still has not provided profits for opioid sales and distribution in Florida and still has not directly stated whether it is unable to do so — or is instead unwilling to do so,” the state’s lawyers wrote. But, quoting from a 1999 Florida appeals-court ruling in a separate case, Cardinal’s lawyers argued that the state “is not entitled to have (Cardinal Health) respond to a request to produce by creating a non-existent document.” Several weeks ago, the Department of Justice announced it had reached a settlement with Purdue Pharma LP and individual shareholders of the Sackler family for more than $8 billion, after the company was charged with conspiracy and fraud related to sales of its opioid products, including OxyContin, a brand name for pills that contain oxycodone. Purdue Pharma is among more than a dozen defendants in the Florida litigation. The dispute over the distributors’ and pharmacy chain’s profits in the Florida lawsuit comes amid reports that opioid overdoses and deaths have climbed during the coronavirus pandemic. Cardinal Health, Walgreens and CVS — another defendant in the Florida case — have already paid high prices for their pain-medication sales or distribution in Florida. In a 2012 settlement, Cardinal Health was banned from shipping and selling narcotics from its Lakeland facility for two years. Four years later, Cardinal agreed to pay $44 million to finalize the civil settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Walgreens agreed to an $80 million penalty in 2013 related to dispensing of highly addictive narcotics. And, earlier this year, CVS agreed to pay $22 million in fines after Drug Enforcement Administration investigators revealed that employees at two of the chain’s Sanford stores were doling out controlled substances without legitimate prescriptions. Three years ago, federal authorities stopped the stores from dispensing a number of highly addictive controlled substances, including oxycodone. — Dara Kam
‘Campus carry’ concealed weapon permitting issue re-emerges for 2021 sessions A long-debated proposal that would allow people with concealed-weapons licenses to carry guns on Florida college and university campuses was filed Monday for consideration during the 2021 legislative session. Rep. Anthony Sabatini, R-Howey-in-the-Hills, refiled the “campus carry” proposal (HB 6001), which did not receive a hearing during the 2019 and 2020 sessions. Similar measures were filed unsuccessfully by other gunrights supporters in prior sessions. The proposals have drawn opposition from higher-education leaders. As of Oct. 31, Florida had issued more than 2.19 million concealed-weapons licenses. The 2020 legislative session starts in March. — News Service of Florida
Credit card skimmers found at gas stations An inspection last week of 1,148 pumps at 38 gas stations in Orange County turned up seven electronic “skimmers” used to steal credit-card or debit-card information, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said. The finds follow similar inspections this month that turned up three skimmers at 121 stations between Pensacola and Live Oak, six at 28 facilities in Sunrise, 15 at 34 stations in West Palm Beach, two at 56 stations in Hernando County, and eight at 31 stations in St. Lucie County. Inspections across the state in October turned up 42 skimmers at 632 stations. The department said motorists should not use pumps that are open or unlocked, where tamper-evident security tape has been cut or removed or that otherwise appear unusual. “If anything seems cracked, loose, or tampered with, use a different pump,” the department said in a news release. “Some newer pumps may also have encrypted credit card readers — look for an illuminated green lock symbol near the credit card reader.” Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said it is crucial for motorists to know what to look for at pumps as “each skimmer can cause up to a million dollars in fraud.” The use of skimmers, ranging from simple devices that clamp onto internal wiring to compile data that is later retrieved to more sophisticated devices that send credit card data via Bluetooth and automated text messaging, has been increasing during the past five years, according to the department. — NSF

Rapid antigen COVID testing is a mess.
The federal government pushed it out without a plan, and then spent weeks denying problems with false positives. Now no one knows who to trust. BY L ISA SONG, P RO P U BL I C A
T
he promise of antigen tests emerged like a miracle this summer. With repeated use, the theory went, these rapid and cheap coronavirus tests would identify highly infectious people while giving healthy Americans a green light to return to offices, schools and restaurants. The idea of on-the-spot tests with near-instant results was an appealing alternative to the slow, lab-based testing that couldn’t meet public demand. By September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had purchased more than 150 million tests for nursing homes and schools, spending more than $760 million. But it soon became clear that antigen testing — named for the viral proteins, or antigens, that the test detects — posed a new set of problems. Unlike lab-based, molecular PCR tests, which detect snippets of the virus’ genetic material, antigen tests are less sensitive 16
because they can only detect samples with a higher viral load. The tests were prone to more false negatives and false positives. As problems emerged, officials were slow to acknowledge the evidence. With the benefit of hindsight, experts said the Trump administration should have released antigen tests primarily to communities with outbreaks instead of expecting them to work just as well in large groups of asymptomatic people. Understanding they can produce false results, the government could have ensured that clinics had enough for repeat testing to reduce false negatives and access to more precise PCR tests to weed out false positives. Government agencies, which were aware of the tests’ limitations, could have built up trust by being more transparent about them and how to interpret results, scientists said. When health care workers in Nevada and Vermont reported false positives, HHS defended the tests and threatened Nevada with unspecified sanctions until state officials agreed to continue using them in nursing homes. It took several more weeks for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to issue an alert on Nov. 3 that confirmed what Nevada had experienced: Antigen tests were prone to giving false positives, the FDA warned. “Part of the problem is this administration has continuously played catch-up,” said Dr. Abraar Karan, a physician at Harvard Medical School. It was criticized for not ensuring enough PCR tests at the beginning, and when antigen tests became available, it shoved them at the states without a coordinated plan, he said. If you tested the same group of people once a week without fail, with adequate double-checking, then a positive test could be the canary in the coal mine, said Dr. Mark Levine, commissioner of Vermont’s Health Department. “Unfortunately, the government didn’t really advertise it that way or prescribe it” with much clarity, so some people lost faith. HHS and the FDA did not respond to requests for comment. The scientific community remains divided on the potential of antigen tests. Epidemic control is the main argument for antigen testing. A string of studies show that antigen tests reliably detect high viral loads. Because people are most infectious when they have high viral loads, the tests will flag those most likely to infect others. Modeling also shows how frequent, repeated antigen testing may be better at preventing outbreaks than highly sensitive PCR tests, if those tests are used infrequently and require long wait times for results. So far, there are no large scale, peerreviewed studies showing how the antigen approach has curbed outbreaks on the ground. People need to realize that without rapid testing, we’re living in a world where many people are unknowingly becoming superspreaders, Karan said. About 40% of infections are spread by asymptomatic people with high viral loads, so antigen tests, however imperfect, shouldn’t be dismissed, he said. Even those who are more skeptical said they can be helpful with a targeted approach directed at lower-risk situations like schools, or outbreaks in rural communities where PCR is impractical, rather than nursing homes where a single mistake could set off a chain of deaths. It is “completely irresponsible” to take a less-accurate test and say it applies to all situations, said Melissa Miller, director of the clinical microbiology lab at the University of North Carolina.
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● DEC. 2-8, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com
There’s no precedent for the government to bet this much on a product before it’s been thoroughly vetted, said Matthew Pettengill, scientific director of clinical microbiology at Thomas Jefferson University. “They put the cart before the horse, and we still can’t see the horse.”
THE GOVERNMENT QUICKLY EMBRACED AN UNPROVEN TEST. During a public health crisis, the FDA can issue emergency use authorizations to make tests available that might otherwise have been subjected to many months of scrutiny before being approved. The three most popular antigen tests in the U.S., from Abbott Laboratories, Quidel and Becton, Dickinson, commonly known as BD, had to submit far less proof of success than is usually required. FDA gave the first authorization to Quidel on May 8 based on data from 209 positive and negative samples. BD got its permit July 2 with a total of 226 samples and Abbott in late August with 102. Outside of a pandemic, the agency might otherwise have required hundreds more samples; in 2018, BD’s antigen test for the flu provided data on 736 samples. There’s no excuse for the small pool of data, particularly for Abbott, Pettengill said. At the start of the pandemic, the FDA authorized PCR tests based on as few as 60 samples because it was difficult to find confirmed cases. By the time Abbott got its authorization in August, it was “a completely different ballgame.” Abbott’s validation document states the company collected swabs from patients at seven sites. Given the case counts over the summer, it should have only taken a few days to collect many hundreds of samples, Pettengill said. Abbott didn’t respond to requests for comment. Quidel pointed ProPublica to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that explained how regular antigen testing can contain the pandemic by identifying those who are most infectious. “We have full confidence in the performance” of our test, Kristen Cardillo, BD’s vice president of global communication, said in an email. BD “completed one of the most geographically broad” clinical trials for any antigen test on the market, she added, by “collecting and analyzing 226 samples from 21 different clinical trial sites across 11 states.” The day after the Abbott test was authorized, HHS placed a huge bet on it, buying 150 million tests. Then, it gave institutions like nursing homes advice on how to use them off-label, in a way in which they were untested and unproven. The three tests are authorized for the most straightforward cases: people with COVID-19 symptoms in the first week of symptoms. That’s how they were validated. They produced virtually no false positives that way and were 84% to 97% as sensitive as lab tests, meaning they caught that range of the samples deemed positive by PCR. Yet HHS allowed their use for large-scale asymptomatic screening without fully exploring the consequences, Pettengill said. A recent study, not yet peer reviewed, found the Quidel test detected over 80% of cases when used on symptomatic people and those with known exposures to the virus, but only 32% among people without symptoms, the New York Times reported.

access to PCR tests to use antigen tests, even on asymptomatic people. The agency suggested repeat testing to reduce false negatives but didn’t mention false positives. An October survey found that nearly a third of nursing homes had left the federally provided antigen tests untouched, the Wall Street Journal reported. Staff cited time-consuming paperwork for federal reporting requirements and skepticism about their accuracy. “I think a lot of the trust was lost, unfortunately,” Karan said.
“BE PREPARED FOR SOME ‘PRESSURE.’” As antigen tests began to give false positive results in nursing homes, state public health officials in Vermont and Nevada pushed back. But HHS officials overruled their concerns and pressured them to keep using the tests.
In July, an urgent care clinic in Manchester, Vermont, discovered that, of 64 patients (mostly asymptomatic) who the Quidel test said were positive, only four, all symptomatic, got a positive PCR result. As reported by the Vermont alt-weekly Seve Days, Quidel said the fault lay with the PCR tests. The FDA also pointed a finger at the PCR “without any foundation of evidence,” Levine, the state health commissioner, told ProPublica. There was a potential problem related to the PCR machine’s software, but Vermont’s state lab retested the samples after upgrading the system and found no change in results, Levine said. State officials also conducted pop-up testing in the Manchester region and found just a handful of positives out of 1,600 tests, he said, proving that there was no outbreak in the community. Levine said his health agency ended up labeling the 60 samples as “discordant” instead of “false positives” and left them out of the official case count. “We didn’t want hard feelings,” he said. “I do think this administra-
tion wanted to show it was doing something ... and this [antigen test] is one way to demonstrate that.” The federal government defended Quidel again in early October. The Times reported that Nevada’s Health Department ordered nursing homes to stop using all antigen tests after reviewing results from 3,725 tests. Nursing homes had double-checked 39 samples the BD and Quidel tests flagged as positive, but 23 of them tested negative via PCR. Nevada’s letter noted that it only learned about the problem because the state chose to go above and beyond federal guidelines: The FDA had said there was no need to double-check positive results. State officials told nursing homes to continue using PCR to fulfill testing requirements. Cardillo, the BD spokesperson, said a “very small number” of the 11,250 nursing homes using BD tests

reported higher than expected false positives, and “we are conducting thorough investigations into those cases.” When an official from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services asked why the state adopted a ban, a Nevada health facilities inspector said false positives could put nursing home residents at risk, according to emails obtained by ProPublica via a public records request. If someone tests positive on an antigen test, the nursing home may sequester the patient with other residents who are truly infected, the Nevada official, Bradley Waples, wrote. If that person later has a negative PCR test, then the faulty diagnosis will have placed them “in danger of contracting the virus by introducing them to a room full of actual positive residents.” His email didn’t explain whether anyone had been infected that way. A spokesperson from the Nevada Health Department declined to comment. In one nursing home, the antigen tests found seven positives out of 35 samples, yet all seven tested negative by PCR, Waples wrote. Two other states had reported similar false positive problems, he added. “Thanks Brad,” the CMS official replied. “It’ll be interesting to see what HHS does with this information. Be prepared for some ‘pressure.’” That pressure arrived two days later in a letter from HHS, where Assistant Secretary Brett Giroir ordered Nevada to rescind the ban. You “must cease immediately or appropriate action will be taken against those involved,” he wrote. Nevada complied. Giroir’s letter cited some of the key arguments for antigen tests, including their ability to detect those who are most infectious. Yet the agency’s reasoning glosses over many unknowns. Some people can become acutely ill without ever showing high viral loads, or only doing so briefly, said Miller, the North Carolina scientist. Those with lower viral loads may still be able to infect others, and the data is murkier for asymptomatic people, she added. “I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but we’re not fully understanding how these tests perform in certain populations, and yet they’re being used,” Miller said. “It’s a test, yes, but there are people on the other side of that test,” she added. If you have a family member in a nursing home that’s getting false positives, it takes time to confirm results by PCR, Miller said. “These are days in which the residents and their families have an incredibly high level of anxiety and worry about their loved ones.”
AMERICA NEEDS A NATIONAL ANTIGEN TESTING PLAN. The initial vision of giving every American at-home tests every day has been slow to materialize. Many of the available antigen tests require machines to read the results or someone who’s trained to administer the test. Some states aren’t even reporting their antigen results, so it’s unclear when they’re used or how they complement PCR. “We need a federal plan for who gets tested, with what tests ... when, how often, and what data should be reported back, and what those data pieces mean,” said
Orange County Health Services last month expanded the operating days of the drivethrough coronavirus testing site at Barnett Park. Free public testing will now be offered on Saturday and Sunday. Testing is available to Orange County residents at no charge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. They will be closed on Christmas and New Year’s Day. You have a choice between two tests at this particular site: antigen (rapid) and molecular (PCR). If you’ve read the story on these pages, you already know PCR is the safer bet. “Rapid tests usually give results within about 20 minutes,” said Orange County public safety director Danny Banks in a recent press statement. “However, we still want to stress that molecular/PCR tests are the most accurate and considered the ‘gold standard’ in testing.” The Barnett Park testing site has the capacity to test up to 5,000 individuals per week. No appointments are necessary, and all ages are welcome. Again, the service is free with no insurance or co-pay required, and a complimentary package of free masks and sanitizer is included. COVID-19 testing will be available at Barnett Park through the end of 2020.
Dr. Rebecca Lee Smith, an epidemiology professor at the University of Illinois. So much remains unknown about the best way to use antigen tests, Smith added. If you have a million tests, is it better to test a million people once, or test half a million people who are at high risk twice, or test essential workers five or 10 times? “It’s how you use the tests, not just how many tests you have.” The U.S. has never had a national testing strategy, said Dr. Ranu Dhillon, an expert on rapid testing and global health equity at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The administration’s haphazard approach to antigen tests is an extension of that larger failure, he said. While there have not been well-publicized examples of false negatives that have led to outbreaks, one risk that’s been overlooked until recently is the probability of false positives in low-prevalence communities — places where few people have the virus, Miller said. Even if a test is very “specific” (providing few false positives), it can flag more false positives than true positives. This happens for both PCR and antigen tests, but if antigen testing scales up to tens or hundreds of millions of tests a month, communities and institutions could get overwhelmed, Miller said. One paper from August found that if a quarter of American school kids were tested three times a week with an antigen test that’s 98% specific, it would produce 800,000 false positives a week that need to be double checked by PCR tests. (For reference, the U.S. is processing an average of 1.4 million tests per day, nearly all of them PCR). Miller said she’s received confused phone calls from doctors asking for advice. She helped a state task force
create a flowchart that explains how to interpret antigen results and when to do repeat testing. “But why are 50 states doing this,” instead of a single clear message from the administration? Miller asked. Karan, the Harvard physician, said federal officials need to set expectations. An employer who can’t afford PCR might welcome antigen testing, because catching 80% of infected workers would be better than catching none at all. Meanwhile, anyone who gets a single negative result shouldn’t use it as an excuse to go to a bar, he said, and they should understand they might test positive a couple days later. This is particularly crucial for the many who plan to rely on antigen tests results to clear them after Thanksgiving gatherings. Smith said any testing plan must be paired with a strong program of contact tracing, isolation and quarantine. The reality in this country is that “just telling someone they’re positive has not been enough. There has to be a cultural shift.” As Reuters reported, Slovakia drove down its infection rate through a mass antigen testing program that imposed strict quarantine rules. The country tested 65% of its population in one weekend, then repeated the tests in hot spots a week later. Anyone who refused testing had to stay home, while those who tested negative got certificates that let them participate in public life. That approach wouldn’t be feasible in the U.S., Smith said. “We need to instead think about empowering and supporting people to abide by isolation and quarantine.” This story was originally published by ProPublica.

Which seasonal theme park offerings are worth attending this year? THE FESTIVAL VILLAGE AT JOLLY CREEK AT BOGGY CREEK AIRBOAT | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
From Disneyland Paris to the
Santa Cruz Boardwalk, amusement parks across the globe that had reopened are closing once again in the face of a new surge of COVID-19 cases. But here in laissez-faire Florida, our attractions are not only open for business, they’ve decked their halls with new holiday offerings. As a result, Orlando area theme parks were more packed over the Thanksgiving holiday week than they have been at any point since the pandemic began, and all indications point to even bigger Christmas crowds. That’s an encouraging sign for struggling tourism workers, especially after Disney and Universal confirmed in November that they’re laying off thousands more employees. But it’s equally worrying for those concerned that increasing attendance will inevitably equal easing precautions. Thanks to some media invites and my annual passes, I’ve checked out this year’s seasonal offerings at the big theme parks — plus one attraction-adjacent event that’s a bit off the beaten path — to let you know which ones are worth braving masses of masked merrymakers. Christmas at the Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World’s original theme park is ordinarily host to Orlando’s most popular holiday event, but with the cancellation of this year’s Very Merry Christmas parties, the Kingdom feels much less magical this season. Main Street U.S.A. has been decorated to the hilt with its traditional towering tree and lamppost wreaths, and socially distanced cavalcades offer drive-by sightings of Santa Claus. However, there’s little sign of the season once you pass beyond the central hub, and static projections on Cinderella Castle with sporadic pyro makes an underwhelming substitute for full-blown fireworks shows. Much like Halloween, this year’s Magic Kingdom Christmas celebration seems mostly to be about selling inexplicable specialty snacks, such as Cosmic Ray’s spicy
chicken sandwich with Santa Mickey’s face burned into the bun like a savory Shroud of Turin. I’d suggest skipping it entirely, if it weren’t for the return of the Dapper Dans. These a cappella icons are among the few Equity cast members currently employed at the resort, and Disney fans should show support for their resumed appearances, lest they leave again. Holidays at Universal Orlando
Universal appeared even busier than Disney over the holiday week, with even the awful Fast & Furious ride wait times over two hours. I’ll miss Islands of Adventure’s Grinchmas musical, but my private photo session with the masked Grinch was even more entertaining, especially since my free reservation from uoholidayphoto.splashthat. com meant minimal waiting in line. Much like Universal Studios Florida’s modified Halloween celebration, the park’s traditional Christmas parade has been cleverly transformed into a walk-through past floats and Macy’s balloons, ending with a socially distanced Santa meet-andgreet. USF’s elaborate new Holiday Tribute Store is also worth exploring even if you aren’t buying anything. And stick around on select nights for the revived Cinematic Celebration fountain show; unfortunately, you’ll have to purchase a VIP holiday tour to see the Hogwarts light show this Christmas. SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration
Unlike its competitors, SeaWorld Orlando’s Christmas Celebration is crammed with live entertainment, including a new replacement for its traditional Nativity play. This self-consciously socially distanced satire (scripted by Jason Surrell of HHN’s 1990s Bill & Ted shows) spices up Jesus’ birth with snarky GenX pop-culture references and uncomfortably earthy choreography set to funky gospel tunes. There’s a ton of talent on the stage, but the theology and taste level are tenuous to say
the least; I for one am eager for the camels to come back in 2021. The Christmas edition of the sea lion show, on the other hand, instantly had me smiling with holiday spirit. I’d also love to tell you how great the seasonal ice skating and Sesame Street shows were, but the former garnered undistanced crowds long before showtime, and the latter is staged in a cramped cul-de-sac with even less audience spacing, so I noped out of both. SeaWorld sports the same safety warnings as the other resorts and has plenty of acreage for elbow room, but I observed guests disobeying guidelines without consequence far more frequently than at Disney or Universal. Ultimately, I exited the park before redeeming all the credits on my holiday food sampler lanyard in search of safer pastures. Jolly Creek at Boggy Creek Airboat
I didn’t expect to be driving over the river and through the woods to south Kissimmee again so soon after Halloween, but the same folks behind Stream ’n’ Scream have done an even better job with Jolly Creek, their first Christmas event. Sadly, there’s no drive-thru light display, but there are plenty of twinkling LEDs in the charming festival village, which features an interactive Santa photo-op, along with a phalanx of hyperactive elves and a dancing Christmas tree (seriously!). The headliner entertainment on the outdoor stage consists of former members from Disney’s Grand Floridian Society Orchestra, long-serving swing musicians who were recalled to work in the parks earlier in the pandemic, only to be rewarded with forced retirement. Their jazzy holiday covers, performed four times each event night, should warm the heart. End your evening with a brisk moonlight airboat ride — keeping an eye out for alligators and flying reindeer — for the ultimate “only in Central Florida” winter celebration. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

TOP: BEET-BURRATA NAPOLEON. BELOW: PINEAPPLE FOSTER | PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT
BEARING FRUIT
Russell’s on Lake Ivanhoe plates stellar food while paying homage to Ivanhood history — and the pineapple
the moment it was set before us. A snap or two later we were forking into the stratified starter, swirling the red and golden beets in the basil and pine nut vinaigrette for a proper acid wash. The season called for an order of stone crab claws ($10 each), one of the daily specials offered, but the dish that blew us away was the “royale with cheese” ($18), a burger I’d have to put right up there with the very best served in this burger-crazed town. The menu teases it as their “soon to be famous burger” and, yes, the boast is valid. It’s served with a stack of very worthy house frites. Clement, BTW, is no flash-in-the-pan chef. The man brings some serious cred to Russell’s, having cooked at Le Meridien hotels from Cairo to Abu Dhabi to New York City before working as a corporate chef for Disneyland Paris and Planet Hollywood. He owned a couple of brasseries in Paris, then opened the well-received La Bodeguita del Centro in Mallorca, Spain, which he ran for 10 years. So, it’s no surprise his pan-seared duck confit ($36) is superbly crisped on the outside and pliant as can be on the inside. Even he’d admit that anything less would be a travesty. We got it with a side of broccolini and cheesy aligot potatoes, which were far too grainy to enjoy. Same goes for the undercooked basmati rice that we paired with local barrelfish ($28), another daily special and another pan-seared wonder. A seasoning of ginger, cumin and a hint of curry powder was bold enough without being the least bit heavy-handed and the seasonal baby veg helped offset the rice fail. We ended, naturally, with the signature pineapple Foster ($9) — caramelized banana bread and a charred pineapple ring topped with vanilla ice cream and pooled in whiskey caramel sauce. Good? Well, let’s just say we quite enjoyed the fruit of their labor. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

SHOP LOCAL As the holiday shopping season hits high gear, we implore you to buy from local businesses in this, the toughest year small business has faced since the Depression. As Dan Price, business owner and income inequality activist, tweeted recently, “The founders of Amazon and Walmart have gotten $133 billion richer ... Meanwhile, 20% of all small businesses have closed forever. For holiday shopping, may I suggest A) shop local B) buy sooner rather than later.” As well as helping out the community economic ecosystem, another thing you can do to ease the strain of consumerism on the environment is to buy used or vintage. Follow social media for the below local businesses and makers to learn about in-person appearances at pop-ups and markets for online merchants and online ordering from brick-and-mortar shops. And finally, we’d be remiss not to mention our own Orlando Weekly Press Club (orlandoweekly.com/support), where you can donate in your own or another’s name to help support our 30-year legacy of providing free, uncensored news coverage to all in Orlando.

AJI CEVICHE BAR
Aji’s Casselberry locale is a bright, spirited space much like the restaurant’s specialty ceviches, of which there are many. Aji spotlights the global influence of Peruvian cuisine as well with such fried rice dishes as chaufa and aeropuerto, Japaneseinfluenced tiradito and sushi rolls, and filling risottos with lomo saltado. Fresh juices served in half-liter carafes are an absolute must, as are endings of lucuma mousse and luscious suspiro a la limeña. Open daily. (reviewed Nov. 25) 1436 N.

BAO’S CASTLE
With a menu developed by Danny Nguyen of Kabooki Sushi Sand Lake, Bao’s Castle serves baos of the utmost distinction. Of note is the very photo-worthy “Sidestepper,” combining the crunch of fried soft-shell crab with the hellfire of honey sriracha and spicy apple kimchi. “Baoser’s Buddy” holds an incredibly flavorful chunk of Korean short rib, plus kimchi and scallion strings. A late-night happy hour runs from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (reviewed Nov. 4) 45 W. Crystal Lake St., 407-704-3041, baoscastle.com, $

The Korean street staples like bulgogi, galbi, katsu and KFC offered at this fast-casual Dr. Phillips joint are capably done. Of note are sweet, sticky galbi and japchae glass noodles tossed in garlicsoy and sesame oil. Kimchi tofu soup is a must when the weather calls for it, while chicken bulgogi holds the flavor of the marinade better than its beef counterpart.

However, there’s now a way to directly support this community institution from the safety of your own COVID bubble. In an attempt to stay open and keep making history instead of becoming history itself, Will’s Pub has just opened a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign. Besides being an arts incubator for many years, Will’s has opened its doors for countless community events, benefits and memorials, becoming one of Orlando’s most beloved third places. I’ve seen extraordinary rallies of money and heart for many worthy local causes at Will’s, so I know what largesse our community is capable of when someone is in need. Now it’s time to give back to the place itself. Join me and help out if you can.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
The 502s: The Plaza Live’s Front Porch Concert Series has been one of the more thoughtful forays into COVID-age showgoing with its distanced outdoor setting, required masks and pod seating. The next edition features the folk-pop effervescence of local group the 502s, who recently blew up on TikTok with a viral video of their song “Magdalene” that racked up over a million views within two days of posting. (6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, Plaza Live, $15-$135)
Will’s Pub is one of Orlando’s most beloved third places, and now it needs your help to stay open via a fundraising campaign
Zach Deputy: With this show, the venerable Social is now officially back in the live music game, only with new and needed safety protocols like mask requirements and temperature checks at the door. Dusting off the stage will be this Savannah polymath, whose loop-layering arsenal (guitar, beatboxing, vocal stylings, etc.) is as motley as his funky fusion. (6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, The Social, $15-$17) Sean Holcomb: Because of its primary restaurant function, the New Standard was one of the town’s music stages best positioned to continue operations during the shutdown and, consequently, has become probably the area’s most consistently active live music venue during the pandemic. This Saturday, Orlando’s Sean Holcomb wraps the room in his gentlemanly brand of country soul. (7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, The New Standard, $10-$250) Bithlo Rising does Motörhead: So many cover bands, yet so few worth mentioning. Bithlo Rising, however, are probably the area’s heaviest tribute act, carrying a setlist loaded with legit hard
rock classics. And for the birthday of pub owner Will Walker, they’re dropping aces and going full Lemmy. It’s free to get in, so tip the players and bar staff extra. Instead of buying Walker a fleeting shot, make a donation to keep his establishments open at the GoFundMe fundraiser mentioned above. (10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, Will’s Pub, free)
HOLIDAY CONCERTS
No complaints from me about Christmas music this season. After the year we’ve had, every last one of us deserves a big cup of 90-proof holiday cheer. So jingle the shit outta them bells! Songs of the Season: This annual classic holiday music program featuring Rollins College musicians and vocalists is perfect for families — I’ve taken my own to it. This year, the community event is part of the Dr. Phil’s Frontyard Festival outdoor concert series, so the logistics will be a little different. You’ll get to enjoy it in your own socially distanced private box for up to five people, but you’ll have to buy the entire box. (7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, Dr. Phillips Center, $40-$50 per pod) Holiday Pops: Just like Songs of the Season and, well, everything else, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday Pops performance is gonna be a little different this year. It’ll still be in posh Central Park and it’ll still be free, but to enhance safety, each party will be given its own 10-foot-by-10-foot pod outlined on the lawn (good for up to six people) that you must reserve through the City of Winter Park’s Eventbrite page. (5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, Central Park, free) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Lemon Press (Anna Cruz and Adam Lavigne) combine painting, cartooning and installation to address time and memory – something we are all wrestling with in this bizarre locked-down pandemic year – through a fictional language inspired by hieroglyphs and other ancient systems of communication. $5.

“LOSING OUT” I’m a lesbian and my girlfriend is bi. I’ve read your column and listened to your podcast for a long time, Dan, and I always thought I’d be fine with having a partner ask me about being monogamish. Then my girlfriend of about a year and a half told me she wants to see what other women are like. She says the thought of me sleeping with other people turns her on but the prospect of her sleeping with other people only makes me nervous. She came out later and I’m the only woman she’s been with. I understand that, as a woman, I’ll never be able to give her what she might get from a man sexually and that sometimes she’ll want that, so there’s also that. We’ve talked about it and it would have to be a Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell agreement, I would also get to step outside the relationship, the other people would have to know we’re in a relationship, and there couldn’t be any “dates.” On top of all that, we’re long distance for now. She says she loves me and I believe her and she says she doesn’t want to lose me. But she also says she’s been dealing with these urges for a while and needs to address them. I don’t want to lose her. Do you have any advice? Fretting Endlessly About Relationship Situation I understand your fears. People in committed non-monogamous relationships have been known to catch feelings for their outside sexual partners. And while that doesn’t always doom the primary relationship, FEARS, catching feelings for someone else inevitably complicates things. And while a non-monogamous couple can make rules that forbid the catching of feelings, feelings aren’t easily ruled. But people in closed relationships have been known to catch feelings for people they aren’t sleeping with, i.e. coworkers, friends, friends-of-friends, partners of friends, siblings of partners, partners of siblings, etc. So the risk that a partner might catch feelings for someone else isn’t eliminated when two people make a monogamous commitment — and yet sane, stable, functional people in monogamous relationships manage to get through the day without being nervous wrecks. Because they trust their partners are committed to them. And even if their partners should develop a crush on someone else … which they almost inevitably will … they trust that their partners aren’t going to leave them … which they still might. By which I mean to say, there’s risk in every relationship and it’s trust that helps us manage our fears about those risks. So if you trust your girlfriend to honor the terms you’ve agreed to — DADT, fucks are OK, 38
dates are not, the other women know she’s taken — and you trust she’s telling the truth when she says she loves you and doesn’t want to lose you, FEARS, then you should choose to believe her. Just like a person in a monogamous relationship chooses to believe their partner when they say they won’t fuck anyone else (even though they might) and won’t leave them for anyone else (even though they could), you can choose to believe your girlfriend will honor the rules you’ve laid out. I’m at a bit of a loss. I met a guy that I really like at a nudist resort, of all places. I didn’t realize at the time just how much I was falling for him. He was trying to be more in the beginning but I missed some very obvious signs. Hindsight is 20/20. I’m incredibly guarded after growing up in an emotionally abusive household and am still dealing with some trauma after being raped a few years ago. By the time I realized how I felt about him, he surprised me by telling me he had a girlfriend. I was trying to arrange a time to see him after I disappeared for a bit to face some demons from the past. I wanted to tell him how I felt in person. Before I got that chance, he already had a girlfriend. He and I run in the same kinky circles and I ran into them at an event. I actually got a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach which I didn’t expect. I never told him how I felt about him. I’m happy that he is happy with her but it hurts, nonetheless. He matters enough to me that I would be content keeping him in my life even if it’s just as a friend. My question is should I tell him how I feel and risk losing him altogether or do I let him be happy with his girlfriend and not tell him that I fell hard for him? I know he might not reciprocate my feelings. That’s OK if he doesn’t, but I think the not knowing hurts more than the truth would. Hopeless Romantic Nailing The Hopeless Part If the not knowing hurts more than losing his friendship would — if not knowing whether you had a shot with him and blew it — then you should tell him how you feel (or felt) and express regret for missing the obvious signs and disappearing on him. And as painful as it might be to hear that he wouldn’t want to be with you even if he were single — and that’s the worst-case scenario — you will get over it and get over him. Best-case scenario, HRNTHP, he had no idea you were into him, he’s not serious about the new girlfriend, and he’d rather date you. Less-than-best-case scenario, he might be willing to date you if 1) things don’t work out with his new girlfriend and
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● DEC. 2-8, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com
2) you’re still single at that point. In the meantime, don’t pass on any other opportunities that come your way and be courteous, polite and non-toxic when you run into them together at kinky events. I’m writing to beg you — to implore you — to make some sort of desperate, last-ditch attempt to hold back the tide of linguistic confusion over the word “come.” Yes, that is the word, readers of Savage Love. It’s “come,” it’s not “cum.” The past tense is “came,” not “cummed.” (Yes, Dan, people are now saying and typing “cummed.”) In the past I’ve been content to merely grumble cantankerously. The final straw came over the last several months when, while watching a lot of international TV and movies, I noticed — to my horror — that the people responsible for the subtitles are using “cum.” Yes, the semi-literate usage of online free-porn-posters has now polluted the entire planet’s comprehension of this simple English word. I turn to you, DS, to do something about this. To come out loudly and proudly for coming, loudly and proudly. This isn’t just about spelling. It’s about losing the meaning of the word: It signifies an arrival. Canadian Opposes Mangled English P.S. You owe me one, Dan. I was raised in Winnipeg, whose inhabitants, Winnipeggers,
refer to their home affectionately as “The ’Peg.” You’ve turned any reference to my hometown into a source for snickers among the same sort of childish people who use “cum.” The least you can do, in recompense, is to restore the simple dignity of “coming.” I’m on your side, COME. I’ve been fighting a lonely battle against “cum,” “cumming” and (shudder) “*cummed” for as long as I’ve been writing this column. I confess to having sinned a few weeks ago when I used the term “cumblebrag.” But in my defense, that was obviously a pun and — for the record — my one-time use of “cum” in the service of a joke should not be construed as an endorsement of “cum.” (The eye stumbles over “comeblebrag,” so it wouldn’t have worked to use “come.”) As I’ve written before, we don’t have alternate spellings for other words that have both sexual and non-sexual meanings. Seeing as we don’t “suk dik” or “eet pussee,” there’s no earthly reason why we should “cum” on someone else or be “cummed” upon ourselves. P.S. Sorry about that, Winnipeggers.
