PENSACOLA COMPANY CREATES COVID-19 RAPID TEST

by Gina Castro

Pensacola’s Medical Specialties Group of Louisiana (MSGLA) created a COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit that is able to show results within 5 to 10 minutes. This COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test functions as a chromatographic immunoassay, which is when an antibody is attached to a support and used to help measure a specific aspect, to detect IgG and IgM antibodies in blood, serum and plasma.

John F. Carter of MSGLA explained that the process of the test is just a prick of a finger. The blood sample is then added to the test applicator.

If the test results are negative, a solid red line will appear by the “C,” which stands for control. Negative results mean that the IgG and IgM antibodies were not detected.

“If you come up positive on this test, then you can self quarantine for the 14 days that the federal government wants. If you come up negative, you go about your day,” Carter said. “If you do come up positive and your symptoms worsen over several days, then you now have to

go to the hospital and tell the health care provider that you tested positive seven days ago.”

MSGLA’s website shows that the accuracy for the test ranges between 97.8 percent to 99.6 percent. This rapid test, which is FDA approved, is faster than the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which is what health care providers have been using to test for COVID-19. PCR results, though very accurate, can take three to five days to give results. Because COVID-19 can take up to two weeks to show symptoms in an individual, this virus is spreading rapidly across the world and the

U.S. As of April 12, there are 19,895 cases of COVID-19 in Florida with 204 cases in Escambia County.

“I think the important part is for more people to have knowledge whether they are positive or negative. We need more results to understand where this thing is going. The only way that it benefits all of us is that more tests get done,” Carter explained. “We’re already hearing that hospitals and urgent cares are over crowded. Somehow more testing

needs to get to the marketplace, and we think we have the ability to play a role in that.”

The overall cost for this rapid test is $49.95, and at this time, health insurance does not cover its cost.

However, Carter said that MSGLA has already submitted the necessary paperwork so that health insurance can reimburse those who purchase this test and are waiting upon approval. MSGLA is also working with local healthcare providers to

get this rapid test into hospitals and urgent cares. MSGLA is unable to test patients within its facility.

Carter said that MSGLA hopes to share this test nationwide. They sent a test kit proposal to Vice President Mike Pence, who is a member within the COVID-19 Task Force, and are waiting for his response. To learn more about this test, visit msgofla.us/products/.

ETHICS PANEL REJECTS COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENTS PLAN JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Commission on Ethics rejected a request Friday to alter the state’s 15-year-old lobbying “gift ban,” as a cable-television and internet company wanted to run public-service announcements from Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commissioners voted 6-3 to maintain a ban against providing free publicity or exposure, after Charter Communications wanted to run messages from DeSantis on its Spectrum networks, which reach about 2.5 million people across Central Florida and the western Panhandle.

“By basically providing elected officials an opportunity to appear in professionally produced public-service announcements, it’s basically an opportunity to provide them with additional advertising opportunities,” said Commissioner Daniel Brady, one of DeSantis’ five appointees to the ethics panel.

“There are more news announcements by elected officials on the course and status of the COVID-19 than any of us have ever seen in our lifetimes.”

Commission Chairwoman Kimberly Rezanka, also a DeSantis appointee, warned the carve-out could set a dangerous precedent.

“When one person is shown in a PSA, there may be another agency head that may ask to be put in one,” Rezanka said. “And there are companies that analyze how much your name in the paper is worth, or your name on the internet is worth or your name on television.”

State law prevents lobbyists and organizations that hire lobbyists from providing gifts to state officials — what is known in Tallahassee as the gift ban. Charter hires lobbyists to work on issues in the Legislature and the executive branch.

Charter attorney Ron Meyer argued that the request was strictly to put out narrowly crafted, but timely, messages from leaders — such as the governor and the state surgeon general — about safety during the ongoing health crisis.

“A public-service announcement dealing with COVID-19 coming from Ron DeSantis will carry substantially more public weight than one coming from Ron Meyer, who nobody knows,” Meyer said.

COURT BACKS BORROWERS IN LOAN FORGIVENESS FIGHT JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — A federal appeals court Friday cleared the way for a lawsuit in which two Florida women allege they were given false information about whether their student loans would be forgiven when they worked in public-service jobs.

A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Amanda Lawson-Ross and Tristian Byrne in the lawsuit against Great Lakes Higher Education Corp., which serviced the women’s student loans.

The ruling overturned a lower-court decision that had dismissed the case, which includes allegations that the company violated a state law known as the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act. The case was filed as a potential class action.

A district judge agreed with Great Lakes that a federal higher-education law bars such state-based claims. But the appeals court said the federal law, the Higher Education Act of 1965, does not preempt “state law claims alleging that student loan servicers made affirmative misrepresentations to borrowers regarding their eligibility for a federal program that forgives student loan balances.”

The ruling said the Higher Education Act governs disclosure of information such as outstanding principal amounts, interest rates and amounts paid on loans. But it said that is different than the issue about whether Great Lakes gave false information to borrowers.

“Although at first blush the subject of the communications at issue might appear to resemble a description of payment plans or options to prevent default, the borrowers were not behind on payments or facing default,” said the 31page ruling, written by Judge Jill Pryor and joined by judges William Pryor and Eduardo Robreno. “Instead, they requested information about a loan forgiveness program for borrowers employed in pub-

lic service jobs, specifically, whether they were in a position to meet that program’s requirements. Great Lakes’ voluntary, personalized, affirmative misrepresentations in the form of advice about whether an individual borrower was on track to qualify for the (loan forgiveness) program was different in kind from any disclosure required” by the federal higher-education law.

The ruling said Lawson-Ross earned master’s and doctoral degrees in counseling psychology and went on to jobs at the University of Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University. It said she expected that after 10 years, her loans would be forgiven under the federal public-service program, a belief that was confirmed by representatives of the loan-servicing company.

Byrne graduated with an associate degree in criminal justice and learned about the loan-forgiveness program while working for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Friday’s ruling said.

Byrne also alleges that she was given assurances by the loan-servicing company that she would qualify for the program after making payments on her federally backed loans.

Both women made payments before finding out that they didn’t qualify for the forgiveness program because of the types of loans they had. The forgiveness program was tied to what are known as federal direct loans.

Lawson-Ross, for example, began making loan payments in 2007 and didn’t find out until nearly 10 years later that she was ineligible for the forgiveness program, the ruling said.

“Had Lawson-Ross known that her loans were ineligible for the … program, she either could have made sure she was eligible for forgiveness under the ... program (presumably by consolidating her loans) or undertaken a different career path,” said the ruling, which sent the case back to the lower court.

Meyer, who noted Florida is one of the few states to prohibit the direct use of elected officials in public-service spots, rejected an assertion that PSAs featuring lower-ranking agency officials, celebrities or athletes could carry the same impact as PSAs by leaders directly involved in pandemic-related issues.

“I’m not sure that (former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback) Jameis Winston could communicate as effectively as perhaps the commissioner of education could, information relating to whether schoolchildren could be returning to the classroom for the last two weeks of the school year,” Meyer said. “And I think parents would probably find the information coming from the commissioner of education or the superintendent of schools more reliable, more credible, timely certainly than a famous athlete.”

The vote followed a separate 6-3 decision against a proposal that would have allowed PSAs but only during simultaneously declared national and state emergencies and with state agencies selecting who would appear rather than firms connected to lobbyists.

“We have not seen anything like what we’re dealing with before,” said Com-

FLORIDA COULD SET NEW HIGH FOR JOBLESS CLAIMS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF First-time unemployment claims this week appear headed toward a record.

During a mid-day appearance Friday in Jacksonville, Gov. Ron DeSantis said 225,755 initial claims had been filed this week. “I think it took us a year or certainly many months to reach this level of claims during the great recession,” DeSantis said. “So, this is a shock like we’ve never seen before.

So, we’re shifting as many resources to this as we can to meet this real crushing demand.” The U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday estimated that 169,885 jobless claims had been filed in Florida during the week ending April 4, after a record 228,484 claims during the prior week. The numbers for the current week, which runs through Saturday, came as the state took steps to shore up the overwhelmed CONNECT online unemployment system.

MOODY WARNS OF SCAMS WITH STIMULUS MONEY NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Attorney General Ashley Moody warned Floridians to be alert for scams as the federal government begins sending out money as part of a $2.3 trillion coronavirus economic-stimulus package. “Anytime money is being doled out by the government, scammers will devise schemes to steal as much of it as possible,” Moody said in a video. The first checks to Americans who qualify — up to $1,200 for eligible individuals or $2,400 for people married and filing taxes jointly — are being directly deposited into bank accounts of tax filers who have submitted bank information to the Internal Revenue Service.

VACATION RENTALS REMAIN OFF LIMITS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Gov. Ron DeSantis has extended until April 30 an executive order that suspended rentals of vacation properties because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

DeSantis late Friday issued an extension of a March 27 executive order that was slated to last two weeks. The March 27 order said “many cases of COVID-19 in Florida have resulted

missioner Joanne Leznoff, who moved for the carve-out during the current crisis. “This is an unprecedented circumstance that, I’m not being over dramatic, this is life and death stuff.”

Leznoff, who formerly served as the top staff member on the House Appropriations Committee, is one of two commissioners appointed by the House speaker. The Senate president also names two commissioners.

Commissioner John Grant, a DeSantis appointee and former longtime lawmaker, suggested the commission revisit Leznoff’s proposal so that such public-service announcements could be made during any state of emergency, such as hurricanes.

“We could well have hurricanes starting this month, and we could have a big one coming in here and the governor may not have much time,” Grant said.

“So I think any time there is a state of emergency, public-service announcements related to that state of emergency should be allowed for the duration of that emergency."

Those steps include increasing the server capacity, offering paper applications and shifting state employees and hiring hundreds of others to field calls and process the massive backload of claims coming in due to the coronavirus pandemic. “I think the things we’ve done have been positive, but if there are more things to do, you know I want to do it,” DeSantis said. He said federal stimulus dollars, which will increase unemployment benefits, should start to arrive soon. “You’re not going to live high on the hog on that, but for people who have lost their jobs, to be able to get that, that I think can make a big difference when you’re talking about kids, when you’re talking about food, and you’re talking about all the necessities of life,” DeSantis said. The Department of Labor report indicates the Florida numbers have been driven by layoffs in a variety of sectors, as businesses shut down or scaled back amid social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the deadly disease caused by the coronavirus.

“#IRS deposited the first Economic Impact Payments into taxpayers’ bank accounts today. We know many people are anxious to get their payments; we’ll continue issuing them as fast as we can," the IRS tweeted Saturday. Moody advised people to learn when they could receive payments and to be suspicious of anyone requesting personal information in exchange for expedited payments. “The IRS will not initiate contact with tax filers by email, text messages or social media to request personal or financial information,” Moody said in the video. The one-time checks could be weeks or months away for people who didn’t set up direct-deposit accounts with the IRS.

from individuals coming into the state of Florida from international travel and other states, posing great risk to Florida residents” and added that “vacation rentals and third-party platforms advertising vacation rentals in Florida present attractive lodging destinations for individuals coming into Florida.” The order required suspension of vacation rentals of homes and condominiums. It did not apply to such lodging establishments as hotels, inns and resorts. It also did not apply to long-term rentals.

SENATE SAYS NEW LAW SCUTTLES MEDICAID INITIATIVE JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Just days after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a controversial law making it harder to pass ballot initiatives, the Florida Senate is using the law to try to block a proposed constitutional amendment that would expand Medicaid coverage.

Senate attorneys filed a six-page document Saturday at the Florida Supreme Court, arguing that part of the new law dealing with required petition signatures should scuttle the proposed Medicaid amendment, which could go on the 2022 ballot.

The Senate and House have contended since November that the Supreme Court should reject the Medicaid proposal, which is backed by the political committee Florida Decides Healthcare. But the Senate argued in Saturday’s filing that the new law, signed Wednesday by DeSantis, bolsters its case.

The Supreme Court serves as something of a gatekeeper in decid-

ing whether ballot initiatives go before voters. It reviews the wording of proposed initiatives and determines whether they meet legal standards, such as not being misleading and not lumping together multiple subjects The Senate’s new filing focuses on required numbers of petition signatures needed before the Supreme Court will review initiatives.

Based on a formula tied to turnout in the 2016 presidential election, backers of ballot initiatives proposed for the 2020 ballot had to submit 76,632 statewide signatures to trigger the Supreme Court review and also meet varying signature requirements in a quarter of the state’s congressional districts.

The new law increased the required number of statewide signatures and mandated that requirements be met in half of the congressional districts, up from a quarter. The new statewide threshold for 2020 initiatives went from 76,632 signatures to 191,550 under the new law, according to the Sen-

CORONAVIRUS CONTINUES TO SPREAD AT NORTHWEST FLORIDA PRISON ANA CEBALLOS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Four more inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 at a Northwest Florida private prison where a total of 40 people have contracted the highly contagious virus, the Florida Department of Corrections said Saturday.

Blackwater River Correctional Facility, a Santa Rosa County prison operated by The Geo Group Inc., now has a total of 34 inmates who have tested positive for COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus. Six prison employees also have tested positive for COVID-19, corrections officials said.

The Milton facility, which has a maximum capacity of 2,000 inmates, is so far the state's hardesthit prison amid the coronavirus pandemic.

All but one of the state’s 35 inmates who have tested positive for COVID-19 are located at the Panhandle facility. The other prisoner is housed at Sumter Correctional Institution in Bushnell, corrections officials said.

As of Saturday, 44 corrections employees at 20 prisons and three probation offices across the state also have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Department of Corrections' website.

Inmates housed at Blackwater — and their loved ones — have been sounding the alarm about prison officials’ response to the virus, which has caused 458 deaths in Florida as of Saturday evening. No inmates or prison staff have died from COVID-19, according to the corrections agency.

Natausha Hunt told The News Service of Florida on Tuesday that her son, Gary Ford, had been in quarantine with dozens of inmates at Blackwater for more than two weeks.

“He called me panicking and scared, and said, ‘Momma, they are leaving us here to die,’ ” a sobbing Hunt said in a telephone interview.

Hunt said Friday that her son had not been tested for the virus, although he has been coughing. Ford

fears he may be infected with the virus because he is housed with inmates who have been tested for COVID-19, Hunt said.

Florida Department of Corrections officials declined to comment on Ford’s account, citing federal regulations protecting patients’ confidential health information.

State officials, however, maintain they are taking many precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.

In prisons operated by the state, new inmates are placed in quarantine, the temperature of inmates who are in medical quarantine is taken twice daily, and inmates in the general population can ask questions and request a temperature check, the Department of Corrections said in an email Wednesday morning.

A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Management Services, which oversees contracts with private prison operators, said Tuesday The Geo Group was taking extra measures to stem the outbreak at Blackwater.

The Santa Rosa County health department, which helps test inmates housed at Blackwater Correctional Facility and Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, is conducting random testing of staff and employees, Debbie Stilphen, a spokeswoman with the county agency, told the News Service on Tuesday.

“We are randomly sampling staff and inmates from different pods based on the number of specimen containers available,” Stilphen said in an email.

Stilphen said the county has enough tests to meet the demand of symptomatic inmates at the two prisons.

“The reason we are doing the sampling is to find out who might need to be tested in the process of our investigation,” Stilphen said.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has not revealed how many inmates have been tested for COVID-19 in Florida’s prison system, which houses roughly 94,000 inmates in 145 facilities statewide.

State officials also won’t say how many prisoners are in medical isolation due to the virus.

ate filing.

Florida Decides Healthcare initially proposed its amendment for the 2020 ballot and collected enough signatures, 90,420, to spur Supreme Court review. Though it decided to move back the proposal to the 2022 ballot, it continued to seek Supreme Court review based on meeting the 2020 signature threshold.

The Senate, however, contends that the new law’s increased signature requirements apply to the Medicaid proposal and, as a result, the Supreme Court should not review the initiative. “(The) initiative has not received the threshold number of signatures to reach the purview of the (Supreme) Court and the court should dismiss this matter for lack of jurisdiction,” the filing said.

In a footnote, the Senate said the same arguments could apply to two other proposed initiatives before the court — a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana and a proposal designed to ban “assault” weapons.

ONLINE GROCERY PURCHASES APPROVED FOR ‘SNAP’ PROGRAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Low-income people in the state’s major food-assistance program will be able to make online grocery purchases to help protect them from the spread of COVID-19. State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried announced Saturday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had approved the online-purchase plan for Florida’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP. Participants in the program, which is administered by the

Like with the Medicaid proposal, backers of those initiatives gathered enough petition signatures to trigger Supreme Court review but decided to try to get on the 2022 ballot instead of the 2020 ballot.

Florida Decides Healthcare proposed its initiative after lawmakers refused repeatedly in recent years to expand Medicaid to low-income adults who currently don’t qualify for coverage. Such an expansion is allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, with Washington picking up most of the cost for newly covered people.

The new law (SB 1794) drew heavy debate during the legislative session that ended last month.

Many Republican lawmakers and groups such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce have long sought to make it harder to pass ballot initiatives. Among other things, they say it should be difficult to amend the Florida Constitution.

Florida Department of Children and Families, use electronic benefits cards similar to ATM cards to buy food. “Through this innovative pilot program, SNAP households can purchase food online and pay using their EBT card at pickup, among other options,” Fried said in a prepared statement. “This reduces shopping risk from COVID-19, helps fulfill consumer demand and keeps Florida-grown products moving to families.” An announcement from Fried’s office said the Department of Children and Families would determine the structure of the online program.
