Florida high schools, state universities and colleges are implementing alternate methods that will keep the staff, students and student-athletes safe during the pandemic if games and practices are scheduled during the school year.

Florida's burgeoning coronavirus crisis is forcing its high schools to delay the start of their football and other fall sports seasons, a reversal aimed at quelling a revolt that could have pitted urban counties against their rural counterparts.

A day after rejecting an offer of contrition from Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., who represents the Gainesville area, for his language during this week's Capitol steps confrontation, Ocasio-Cortez and more than a dozen colleagues cast the incident as all-too-common behavior by men, including Trump and other Republicans.

Delegates to the convention will still meet in North Carolina as planned, but Trump's keynote Jacksonville speech will no longer take place.

In all, about 40 percent of the approximately 2,280 inmates at the facility near Lake City are known to have been infected with COVID-19.

There was little sign that Yoho’s GOP colleagues were rising to defend him, and the House minority leader said he would speak to Yoho.
