i have been reading through all the stories people are sharing here and it really hammers home why we need to get this monitoring system in place. im currently working on getting these points in front of the right people at the department of health so we can finally start seeing some actual movement on this.

we hit a huge milestone today and im honestly just blown away by how many people are stepping up to end this epidemic. this momentum shows that fl cant stay the doctor shop state anymore because people are finally starting to listen.
