....a South Florida police chief tried minimizing their worries by claiming a Broward County deputy’s COVID-19 death was caused by his “homosexual” lifestyle...

...Tommy Reyes, the president of Miami’s Fraternal Order of Police — and a personal friend of Bennett — called Engle’s alleged comments about Bennett “disrespectful.”

“Shannon was my friend...

....Bennett was 39 and a member of the LGBTQ community and had announced he was to marry in December. He contracted the virus while “in the line of duty,” BSO Sheriff Gregory Tony said....

Miami media has made THIS EVENT the most important story of the day.

For the second or third time or maybe even fourth, the media REFUSES to acknowledge sexual behavior that is risky will weaken an immune system.

The man who tragically died may very well have done so because he was part of an at risk population. Media won't even acknowledge the fact.

Uh, oh. This violates the narrative that “we’re all in this together.”

From the management perspective, it should have been sufficient to let his co-workers know he had underlying conditions that prevented or hampered his recovery. Then reinforce the proper precautions for them to be taking.

Media just needs to be told to F.O. (diplomatically, of course).

AIDS pandemic is still going on. Are gay bathhouses considered essential businesses?

The key word in your comment is “may.” There are multiple ways the deputy could have contracted this disease, and we do not know the state of his immune system. Without direct access to his medical records it is just speculation.

No Police Chief with an ounce of professionalism should be speculating about how a deputy in another organization contracted a disease. He has a department to run, his job is to keep his own department operational while mitigating risk to his officers.

I can’t understand why he would bring up his personal speculation into an official briefing. Unless he had first had knowledge or had received an official report on how the Broward County Deputy contracted the Wuhan virus, why would he bring it up?

It was a stupid comment, that will cost him his job.

I have been wondering what percentage of the deaths, from the virus, of those under 50 had HIV.

Ya I BET the chief knew he was a flame and a male whore before he found the fudge packer of his dreams to wed!....The chief probably does something stupid and believes what the bible states about homosexuality...fk LGBQTXCFDE lifestyles. Are some perversions more equal than others?...

Only by the ones who believe it to be true. Survival is not important to a few people. A sad consideration to contemplate.

It's Propaganda 101:

Phase #2: Heartbreaking stories with rivers of crocodile tears.

"I have been wondering what percentage of the deaths, from the virus, of those under 50 had HIV."

I have been looking high and low for that information and can't find it.

We do know that about 20% of gay men living in urban areas are HIV positive.

What we don't know is the coincidence of serious COVID-19 infections and HIV, and whether or not the antiviral medications that are routinely taken for HIV are protective for COVID-19.

That seems like it might be important information.

It appears from multiple discussions and reports that the COVID attack rate among persons diagnosed with HIV and taking antivirals regularly is lower than the attack rate in the general population.

Impossible. FauXi developed a vaccine for that.

Wait a minute. Wasn’t there some big gay event in Miami that was allowed to go on despite the concern about WuFlu?

Did the deputy attend?
