Last week we reported that Gov. Ron DeSantis had expressed disappointment that the Georgia elections swung the U.S. Senate to Democratic control. But he acknowledged the change could mean more federal aid for Florida, saying, “If they’re going to send me money, we’re happy to take it and we’ll put it to good use. Probably beef up our budget reserves.” @Cari Wells Beef up budget reserves? It’s supposed to be for relief of Floridians! @Joe Llorens So, apparently there needs to be very clear language as to what that federal aid is to be used for so knuckle-dragging, mouthbreathing governors like DeSantis don’t just tuck it away. Lovely. @Cindy Reed He has been holding back all federal funding from us! The unemployment website is still not working — I have 16 weeks of claims on hold while my status is Active/ Regular. He is purposely holding funds that belong to unemployed Floridians! @Stephanie Stevie Morgan You’re gone soon too, Ronnie. You have zero credibility and now that your BFF has left the WH you’ll need to actually pull your own weight.

Hours before the presidential inauguration, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz sent social media aflutter by trolling toward the 2022 election cycle.

Gaetz tweeted that he has no interest in challenging Sen. Marco Rubio and that the only

He has free speech rights, so he can’t be arrested, but at least we should ignore him. @Jeff Dellinger Matt Gaetz is fucking garbage.

He needs to go away. I’ll support any opponent of his. A broken toaster. A rabid raccoon. An actual bag of garbage. Any opponent.

On Jan. 21, we wrote about the end of an interactive era (“Disney pulled the plug on Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, and nobody seemed to notice”). @Bobbi Bell Oh, we noticed! We’re sad and angry at losing an activity that created a beautiful community of people that loved Disney and didn’t need to detach retinas or lose lunch to have fun in the parks! … We are disappointed that Disney removed a physically distanced, positive activity that engaged a unique and numerous demographic! Bad move. @Eddie Jones More like who cares. Central Florida seems to be moving forward without Disney being fully open, which is great news.

Perhaps local politicians will take notice and cease to bow down to them.

HAWLEY WAS DISMAYED TO LEARN THAT ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES | PHOTO BY VASILIS ASVESTAS

FABLES OF THE INSURRECTION

The Republican Party simply cannot seem to decouple itself from extremism

BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

Last Wednesday, the Department of

Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning of a heightened threat from “ideologically motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives.”

That day, Senate Republicans announced that they would seek to delay the confirmation of Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden’s nominee for DHS secretary.

Their demand for additional hearings focused on Biden’s immigration policies. But the bulletin was soon added to the outrage machine.

On Wednesday night, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley took to Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program to wax menacingly about the DHS targeting “Trump supporters,” which he deemed “very, very troubling.” (The bulletin mentions neither Donald Trump nor his supporters.)

Since the Jan. 6 insurrection, Hawley has turned “cancel culture” into his raison d’être. Calculating to his core, he was the first senator to announce he’d object to the election results. Soon he discovered that actions have consequences — mentors abandoned him, funders jumped ship, Simon & Schuster dropped his book deal, his state’s two largest newspapers called for his resignation, and the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel on Universal Orlando property canceled his fundraiser. So Hawley climbed on every soapbox he could find to complain about censorship, most notably claiming the cover of the New York Post to whine about being “muzzled” by “corporate monopolies and the left.”

Hawley’s appearance on The Ingraham Angle fell in this vein. After railing against the “woke leftist mob,” Hawley said of the DHS warning: “If this is just some attempt to amass power and go after the civil liberties of law-abiding Americans, we’re gonna have a big, big problem.”

There are legitimate concerns about turning an infrastructure conceived in post-9/11 anxiety inward or passing legislation to criminalize domestic terrorism. As 135 civil liberties groups pointed out in a letter to Biden, new powers will ineluctably “be used as vehicles to target Black and brown communities.” After our recent brush with authoritarianism, caution is warranted.

But that’s not what Hawley’s getting at. (He denounced Black Lives Matter as a “woke mob” attack on Trump supporters.) He’s cynically conflating a warning about “violent extremists” with a crackdown on conservatism. Not unintentionally, he’s feeding the same paranoia and grievance that gave rise to the DHS warning in the first place — and propelled Trump to the White House four years ago, and that Hawley hopes will take him there four years from now.

This illustrates a fundamental problem central to our political morass: The Republican Party cannot decouple itself from extremism.

The day before, Hawley and 44 of his Senate colleagues voted to dismiss the impeachment charge against Trump without a trial. Many coated their votes in a veneer of high-minded constitutionalism or calls for national unity, wringing their hands about how divisive it would be to make the former president account for his sins.

Never mind that Trump peddled ludicrous conspiracy theories to convince gullible supporters that the election was stolen. Never mind that Trump tried to coerce Georgia officials into “finding” 12,000 votes, or that he nearly fired the acting attorney general so he could appoint a lackey who would make up evidence of fraud. Never mind that 147 Republicans tried to subvert democracy while the bodies of those who died at the Capitol were still warm.

Never mind that Trump’s administration looked the other way as white supremacists became the country’s most dangerous terrorist threat, instead dispatching paramilitary goons to snatch BLM protesters off the street and throw them into unmarked vans. And never mind that for four years, Republicans not only tolerated but celebrated Trump’s mendacity and demagoguery, the party’s leaders abandoning any pretense of principle to grovel at his feet.

Last week’s vote couldn’t possibly have been rooted in their desire to sweep their indulgence of extremism under the rug, could it? Perish the thought.

Here’s the thing: Extremism is a cancer. Left untreated, it spreads. The more it spreads, the harder it is to eradicate, and the more dangerous it becomes. By voting against a trial, Republicans decided that the short-term benefit of letting the tumor run wild was worth the long-term damage it will inflict on our republic.

The inevitable result of such a mindset is politicians like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The Georgia representative made headlines last week for being even nuttier than we already knew, and we knew plenty: She believed Sandy Hook Elementary, Parkland High and 9/11 were false flags, Hillary Clinton was a satanic child killer and — a QAnon classic — top Democrats were part of a global pedophile cabal. She chased Muslim lawmakers through the Capitol in 2019, insisting they swear their oath on the Bible instead of the Quran. She compared BLM protesters to neo-Nazis. And so on.

The latest revelations had Greene cheering calls for the executions of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, harassing Parkland survivor David Hogg and calling him a coward, and claiming the Las Vegas massacre was the work of gun-control activists. Oh, and a personal favorite: She speculated that the 2018 California wildfires were caused by nefarious Jewish space lasers. There were “too many coincidences to ignore,” she wrote on Facebook.

Indeed.

(Taking a cue from Josh Hawley, Greene blamed the media for trying to “cancel me and silence my voice” because “I’m a threat to their goal of Socialism.”)

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responded to this news by promising to give her a talking-to, then hopping on a plane to Mar-a-Lago to pay penance for saying Trump “bears responsibility” for the insurrection.

Democrats have called for Greene’s resignation, removal or — at minimum — censure. But that seems unlikely. Given another opportunity to confront the extremism they’ve inculcated, Republicans have so far shrugged, unwilling to give in to what Hawley would call the “woke mob” or risk incurring the base’s wrath. Instead, McCarthy awarded Greene a seat on — I shit you not — the House’s education committee.

The cancer continues to spread.

No MAGA hats allowed on Super Bowl seat-filler cutouts at Raymond James Stadium Raymond James Stadium will only allow 24,700 people inside at Super Bowl 55, but fans can pay to have a cutout of themselves “attending” the big game. There are just a few rules.

For $100, fans can upload a picture to either the AFC or NFC websites. The photo will be printed on a corrugated plastic cutout. And while you can’t pick where your plastic surrogate sits, nor do you even get to keep it afterwards, you do get a photo of the stadium where you can find yourself(ie) for social media tagging.

But not all photos will be allowed.

Cutouts cannot feature commercial plugs, phone numbers, social media hashtags, commercial logos (aside from the teams), lewd comments about the league or other teams, and certainly no political statements. So if your entire identity is found in a MAGA hat or a pro-essential oil/anti-vax T-shirt, your cutout is going to have to find a new wardrobe.

And before you start yelling about the “Big Cutout” industry censoring conservative voices, the rule also applies to Bernie bros, Jacobin readers, folks ridin’ with Biden, etc.

Of course, the NFL reserves the right to reject any photo that it deems inappropriate. So if you’re worried about that, the league has a few stellar tips for getting your cutout approved, like “don’t raise your arms because they’ll be cropped out,” “wear your team’s jersey,” “find good lighting and face it” and “solid backgrounds yield the best results.” — Colin Wolf

Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani fights to repeal mandatory minimum drug sentences State Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, D-Orlando, has filed a bill to remove mandatory minimum sentence for nonviolent drug offenders (HB 6029) in the Florida House.

Eskamani aims for the bill to be a step toward deterring drug-related crimes with rehabilitation programs and drug courts instead of draconian sentencing.

This is Eskamani’s second attempt to pass these reforms, as the last repeal died in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee in March of 2020.

Mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines have not always been the letter of the law in Florida. Prior to the 10

1983 Florida Sentencing Guidelines, Florida judges had more freedom in sentencing. The guidelines provided judges with a point system that would tally up a person’s past and present offenses. This left judges to choose sentencing based on a suggested range, depending on the number of points an offender had.

The Criminal Punishment Code that passed in 1998 was the final evolution of Florida’s sentencing guidelines, with the intention of creating uniform and unbiased sentencing. However, researchers at the Crime and Justice Institute published a report in 2019 that found that the opposite had happened: Florida prison sentencing is inconsistent across counties, and sentences often surpass the minimum sentencing requirements.

Under current sentencing guidelines, possession of relatively small quantities of drugs — e.g. two tablespoons of cocaine, four grams of heroin — would get you a mandatory minimum imprisonment of three years along with a $50,000 fine for either, while possession of 25 pounds of cannabis would call for a mandatory minimum imprisonment of three years and a $25,000 fine.

Eskamani is hopeful this legislation will address these major cracks within Florida’s criminal justice system.

“Today mandatory minimums are used in situations far different than those anticipated by the law’s authors.

They have sent thousands of low-level drug offenders to prison,” Eskamani said in a press statement announcing the bill. “We should let judges be judges and repeal mandatory minimums, especially those for nonviolent drug offenders.” — Melissa Perez-Carrillo

Walt Disney World will require vaccinated guests to continue wearing masks at the parks Walt Disney World Resort has updated its COVID-19 mask policy — and yes, even park guests who have been vaccinated must still mask up.

The wording on the “Face Coverings” sub-section of the theme park’s “Returning to a World of Magic” website has been changed to read: “Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members, including those who have received a COVID19 vaccine. Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming. You may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking, but you must be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing.”

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 3-9, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

Mask-wearing has been mandatory at all of the Walt Disney Resort parks since their July reopening. And while most guests have complied, there have been arguments and altercations between Disney security and park guests who have refused to don masks.

Over the past year, Disney has updated their COVID19 policies as needed. In late July, the theme park closed a loophole allowing people to walk around without masks, so long as they were eating and drinking (the infamous “clomp and chomp” loophole).

Disney’s face covering guidelines follow those recommended by the CDC. Face coverings must cover the nose and mouth, securing under the chin and behind the ears, should be made of at least two layers of “breathable” fabric and lie “snugly” against the cheeks. — Sierra Williams

“We’ve let the worst happen.”

Reflecting on 400,000 Lives Lost A check-in with health care reporter Caroline Chen as we examine the toll COVID-19 has taken on the country and what to expect from a new president

BY LOGAN JAFFE, PROPUBLICA

I

n May of last year, ProPublica health care reporter Caroline Chen reflected on the first 100,000 lives lost to COVID-19 and posed an important question: “How do we stop the next 100,000?” Eight months later, with 300,000 additional American lives lost and the chaotic distribution of the vaccine underway, Chen shares her thoughts on where we are and what happens next.

Jaffe: In your “100,000 lives lost” piece, you wrote about questions we needed to ask at that moment: “How do we prevent the next 100,000 deaths from happening? How do we better protect our most vulnerable in the coming months? Even while we mourn, how can we take action, so we do not repeat this horror all over again?” It’s been almost eight months since then. What are the biggest questions we need to be asking now?

Chen: I’m afraid that we did end up repeating this horror all over again — and again — and again. There’s no way of dancing around this: We’ve failed to protect

our most vulnerable. We’ve let the virus spread out of control across America. We’ve let the worst happen.

So here’s the question on my mind now: How are we going to end the pandemic? We have a vaccine in hand, and I’m so grateful for it. It is, truly, a game changer.

But there are different ways that this story can go from this moment in January. We can end the pandemic as quickly as possible, with rapid distribution and uptake of the vaccine, with everyone doing their best to maintain best practices (social distancing, etc.) while they wait their turn, prioritizing those who need the vaccine most, doing whatever we can to alleviate the pressure on exhausted health care workers and public health officials.

Or we can drag it out, with a chaotic and sputtering vaccine rollout, exacerbating inequities in society by letting those who have connections, or money, or power get the vaccine first, and continue to ignore what science tells us, so we have so many more COVID-19 cases that we give the virus evermore chances to mutate away from our currently effective vaccine. We are the authors of the final chapters of this story. How are we going to determine its ending?

You also wrote about choices our nation’s leaders have had to make. What choices are the most pressing right now for the Biden administration?

Biden’s administration does not have the luxury of doing one thing at a time. I’ve watched America lurch from one pandemic theme du jour to another. For a while contact tracing was really hot. Then we all got into antibody testing. Now the hype is about vaccines. This virus is incredibly wily, it’s spreading out of control and front-line workers are exhausted. The administration really needs to be able to work on multiple fronts, bringing in funding, staffing and supplies to sustain public health officials who are trying to do testing while conducting contact tracing interviews while also setting up vaccine clinics.

We can’t rush to vaccinate then drop the testing ball. We still do not have a clear strategy for testing asymptomatic people. I’d love to see a nationwide sharing of sequencing data so we can track and evaluate variants more robustly. Every single health care staff — and hey, what about meatpacking workers and other front-line laborers — should have access to N95s. It’s insane to me that I am still told by some nurses that they have to reuse their masks for two weeks. Last but not least: Clear, consistent and transparent communication from the White House, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and all branches of government would be desperately welcome.

Will coronavirus variants pose challenges for COVID-19 vaccines?

Lab work hints at trouble, but how that will translate to the real world is unclear

Researchers are also monitoring the spread of a variant in South Africa dubbed 501Y.V2 that has some of the same mutations as B.1.1.7, as well as other changes. Another potentially concerning variant called P.1 has emerged in Manaus, Brazil — a region that was already hit hard by the pandemic in 2020.

Protection from any then tested the samples in lab dishes to see if the new virus virus comes, in part, in the form of immune proteins called variants could still infect the cells.

of 501Y.V2, vaccinated people might still have some level of protection from the new variant. It’s possible that people who have recovered from a previous bout of COVID-19 and whose antibody levels might have waned may be more susceptible to reinfection with 501Y.V2 than other variants.

“These reports are worrisome,” says Nina Luning Prak, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania. Still, she says, “you’ve got multiple shots on goal.” People make myriad antibodies that attack many different parts of a viral target, making it difficult for a virus to escape all of them at once.

Researchers have mainly focused on neutralizing antibodies, which stop viruses from infecting host cells and could prevent a viral infection in the first place. While antibodies from 21 recovered patients could no longer stop the variant from getting into cells in the Jan. 19 biorxiv.org study of 501Y. V2, other antibodies still attached to the virus but did not neutralize it.

In the body, those non-neutralizing antibodies could activate other immune cells to eliminate the coronavirus, Slifka says.

Plus, people who have recovered from infections have longlasting immune cells that stick around in the blood and make antibodies if a person is re-exposed to the coronavirus. Such cells may produce antibodies that can even bind to mutated viruses.

Experts still don’t know what metrics, such as antibody levels in the blood, signal if a person is protected from the coronavirus. That makes it hard to tell from experiments done with lab-grown cells whether low levels of neutralizing antibodies are enough to stop an infection in a person or protect them from developing severe COVID-19, says Stuart Ray, a virologist and infectious disease physician at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Vaccine makers’ response While the preliminary results hint at some trouble for vaccines, there’s not yet enough evidence to push scientists to begin giving people updated shots. For that, “I think we’d need to see evidence of reinfections in people who had well demonstrated immune responses” to the coronavirus, Ray says.

If it did come to that point, some types of vaccines could be easier to update than others. A new version of mRNA vaccines like Pfizer’s and Moderna’s could be made in the lab in a few days, says John Mascola, director of the Dale and Betty Bumpers Vaccine Research Center at NIAID. Moderna announced Jan. 25 that the company plans to run clinical trials to test whether vaccinated people could get a third dose of its vaccine. Moderna is also planning to test a booster shot that uses a protein from the coronavirus variant in South Africa.

Pfizer has said that the company is laying the groundwork to tweak its vaccine.

Other vaccines, like AstraZeneca’s or Johnson & Johnson’s, need to be produced in lab-grown cells, which could take a few weeks. Companies would then need to ramp up manufacturing for millions of doses, which takes time.

But one complication is how regulatory agencies like the FDA might want to test updated vaccines tweaked to target new coronavirus variants. So far, that is unclear. If experts learn what immune system signals correlate with immunity in ongoing clinical trials, new vaccines might be tested in tens or hundreds of people — as agencies already do for updated influenza vaccines — rather than tens of thousands. But for now, Mascola says, “it is uncharted territory.”

(continued from page 13) We’re hearing a lot about mutations and new variants of the virus that spread more quickly.

Should we be changing our behavior?

Viruses are constantly mutating; it’s just what viruses do. A lot of these mutations aren’t actually meaningful,

picture that you as a reporter have. You’ve reported on some of these smaller swaths, individual stories and experiences, but also the larger systemic failures. What do we lose sight of with the big picture, and what do we lose sight of with the small picture?

Sometimes when I’m looking at the charts, I have to remind myself what the numbers mean. It’s become so easy after months and months of this to become numb. For example, even though the case count is finally starting to go down in Los Angeles County, and that is good news, it’s not just a trend line. Those are people. And even if I can be happy on one level that the tide seems to be turning in LA County, I should also keep in mind that that’s still 7,900 individuals who were diagnosed with COVID19 yesterday, and close to 200 people who died. Each person — as my May essay said — was somebody’s everything. I have to remember that, so I don’t ever treat the numbers like just numbers in my reporting.

On the flip side, when I’m listening to people’s stories, I always keep in mind that one person’s experience may not speak for the whole. There are a lot of vaccine snafus happening across the country right now. Some of them are dysfunctions unique to that particular vaccine site, and as a national reporter, they’re not my story to tell.

So I talk to a lot of people and gather as many stories as I can. And when I start to hear the same themes repeat over and over, that’s when I start to think, Hmmm, there’s something going on here. It’s not a good sign when clinics across the country are all canceling appointments on the same day. That’s when I swing into action to try and find out the Why. That’s a ProPublica story.

“There’s no way of dancing around this:

We’ve failed to protect

our most vulnerable.” and it’s only when they have some sort of functional difference that we consider them a new variant, like the B.1.1.7 variant (also known as the U.K. variant). When a new variant is detected, the question is always, what’s the significance? In the case of the B.1.1.7 variant, it’s pretty clear now that it’s more transmissible, but there isn’t enough data so far to say whether it causes more severe disease.

Still, a more transmissible variant will result in the virus spreading faster, meaning more cases, more overloaded hospitals, diminished therapeutic resources and thus probably a worse outcome if you do get sick — not because you got more severely ill in the first place, but because you didn’t get as good care as you would have otherwise if hospitals weren’t stretched so thin. So far, some B.1.1.7 cases have been found in the U.S., but it doesn’t appear to be dominant. And we need to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Epidemiology Professor Andrew Lover at the University of Massachusetts Amherst told me he thinks we’re in a critical period right now — with hospitals still recovering from post-holiday surges, vaccine protection yet to kick in and pandemic fatigue at an all time high. “The vaccine is on the horizon, but it’s really challenging to message that it won’t have a major impact for months,” he said.

Epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has argued that contact tracers should prioritize any case that involves a B.1.1.7 variant, because those cases will spread faster. To be able to do that, testing resources — specifically the type of tests that can identify B.1.1.7 — need to be ramped up and widely distributed. As for individuals, however, there’s nothing you need to change about your behavior if you’re worried about variants. You already know what to do, you just have to fight the fatigue and do it.

Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Social distance. Seek the outdoors. Get your vaccine when it’s your turn. Do whatever you can to not be a case.

Of all of the great reporting you and other science reporters have done on the pandemic, most people experience only a swath of what the big picture of the pandemic is — the bigger

You wrote eight months ago: “I refuse to succumb to fatalism, to just accepting the ever higher death toll as inevitable. I want us to make it harder for this virus to take each precious life from us. And I believe we can.”

What were you feeling then that fueled you to write about refusing to succumb to fatalism, and what are you feeling now?

and not be able to be by their side. There’s one image in there of a funeral home in New Jersey with the spacedout chairs that seemed so bleak to me. Even after your loved one’s death, you couldn’t lean close to a friend or relative for comfort.

I didn’t want people to just roll over and accept that more people would die. It angered me that some people were ignoring the guidance of public health officials and what science told us could help reduce cases. I wanted people to realize that there’s accountability at all levels: from federal policies all the way down to your own actions, every day.

And now? I’m tired. I miss my family so much (they’re mostly overseas). But I still haven’t given up. I remind myself that I can’t solve the world’s problems, but I can do my little bit as a health reporter and hope it helps, somehow.

And now there’s a new administration. I don’t think it’ll be perfect by any means, but I am hopeful to see that President Biden takes the pandemic seriously and I look forward to seeing what actions his administration takes in the coming weeks.

We know the vaccine distribution isn’t going well. But what reasons do we have to be hopeful?

Well for starters, we have a vaccine that works! Two, in fact, and potentially another on the way (Johnson & Johnson’s). As a former biotech reporter, I know that drug development is a slog, so the fact that we have two very efficacious vaccines that made it to market in under a year is truly amazing.

But of course, shots in the vial are pointless if they don’t get to people’s arms. So where am I seeing hope?

So far, production appears to be going OK. There obviously isn’t as much available vaccine as the demand, but there haven’t been any major manufacturing snafus, so I expect Pfizer and Moderna

“It’s not just a trend line.

Those are people.

And each person was somebody’s

What was I feeling? Oh, boy. I was leaking tears and writing at the same time because our brilliant visuals editor Andrea Wise was sending me her selections for that essay and I was looking at the images just thinking how awful it was for people to have to be going through this: not just to be sick and die, but in so many cases to have to die alone — or to have a loved one in the hospital

everything.”

to continue to ramp up as planned.

I am also hoping that as more vaccines become available, this should (fingers crossed) coincide with federal, state and local entities sorting out the logistical issues that have plagued the rollout so far. Ideally, things will go more smoothly when the bulk of the supply becomes available.

I’ll stay optimistic, while looking out for everything that may be going wrong, of course.

That’s my job.

BY SETH KUBERSKY

This week, CFCArts opens Songs for a New World, the first show in their black-box theater since the pandemic began As the pandemic approaches

the one-year mark, I’ve been covering how Orlando’s theme parks and professional theaters have invested in upgrades allowing them to revive their live performances. But can less well-heeled community theaters, which play an important role in the local arts ecosystem, also survive the restrictions of social distancing? For a possible answer, look to Central Florida Community Arts (cfcarts.com), which opens Jason Robert Brown’s Songs for a New World this Thursday, Feb. 4.

CFCArts has remained active throughout the crisis, performing virtual cabarets and outdoor concerts in the Central Christian Church’s courtyard, but this is their first production back inside their black box theater. I stopped by before a recent rehearsal to learn from director Dane Becker how CFCArts is mounting a COVID-conscious comeback on a community theater budget.

A Long Island native and graduate of the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Becker had been performing at multiple Orlando attractions for the past three years before the pandemic hit. As CFCArts’ new theater coordinator, Becker came aboard for the courtyard concerts and is now helming their stage’s grand reopening. Ironically, he might never have connected up with CFCArts if the theme parks hadn’t closed; CareerSource Central Florida placed him (and a number of other unemployed artists) with local companies as paid interns using grant funding.

“I think we’ve had so much taken away from us in this past nine months that to be able to come back and just do theater again was largely really, really exciting,” Becker says, joking that he was drawn to Brown’s contemporary song cycle for the stage’s grand reopening “because we kept saying the phrase ‘in this new world that we’re living in.’” According to Becker, Songs for a New World is about the “desire to be a part

of something, whether it be connection, whether it be having a place in society, whether it be equality,” and those tender topics now “all have very different meanings throughout this pandemic.”

Obviously, the pandemic has also had more practical impacts on the physical production. Attendees will enter the auditorium from outdoors instead of waiting in the lobby, and will be seated in small clusters with six feet of separation between parties. Additional heath and safety measures have been installed throughout the building, thanks to the financial support of local government.

“We’re grateful for the assistance of CARES administered through Orange County towards the health and safety protocols for the theater, like HEPA filters, a sanitizing fogger and hand sanitizer stations,” says Joshua Vickery, founder and executive director of CFCArts.

Audiences at Songs for a New World will be masked, as will the singers, who have special plastic inserts that provide extra airflow. “We spent a lot of time experimenting with what masks were going to work best for the production,” explains Becker. “We settled on this because we liked the cloth mask [with] the ability to cover the full face and still contain the nose and the mouth. But we also wanted to honor the ability to have space for the singers to sing and articulate.”

One might imagine that wearing masks might make it difficult for the actors to emote, but Becker welcomed the challenge.

“I actually think it’s forced us to become stronger storytellers,” says Becker, “[because] you can’t just stand there and

sing it … you have to be fully invested into what you’re saying, and using the other parts of your body to tell that story.”

He says creating socially distanced stage blocking and trying to find ways to connect actors without having them touch has been “a really unique thing.”

Aladdin Demps, a Volusia County middle school theater teacher appearing in Songs for a New World, echoes Becker’s observation: “The actors have come to a place where we’re putting so much into our eyes and our voices and our bodies that it’s unnecessary almost to touch; it almost becomes too much.”

A fan of Brown’s musical since age 15, Demps was initially hesitant to perform, but says they were reassured by the Zoombased auditions that CFCArts “care[s] about their performers, and I know that they take things like this seriously.”

As opening night approaches, Demps has “all the feelings,” including “a little bit of trepidation, of fear, because we’re worried, will audiences feel comfortable coming out to see it? We feel so good about the show, and it’s such an important message that we want it to be seen. So we’re all very like excited, and we’re kind of chomping at the bit to get an audience in here.”

Becker adds that he’s especially excited for audiences to experience the ending, in which [spoiler alert] the cast sings, “We’ll be fine” with the American flag in the background. “I just think that there’s so much power in looking at four actors who are masked, to an audience that’s fully masked with all the PPE protection that we’ve done, saying, ‘We’re going to be OK. We’re gonna get through this.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

RAMEN TAKAGI

This Oviedo ramen-ya is pouring some of the best ramen in the city, courtesy of owner Yoko Takagi and chef Gabriel Leal. The tonkotsu comprises a 20-hour pork bone and trotter broth, while shio and shoyu ramens are fashioned with five-hour clear chicken broth. The spicy miso is, arguably, the most popular with a pork-chicken broth blend, chashu, minced pork, sprouts, corn, scallions and bok choy. Brothless mazesoba is offered as well, but don’t overlook the karaage and takeout-friendly onigiri. (reviewed Jan. 20) 3635 Aloma Ave., Oviedo, 321972-8602, ramentakagi.com, $$

THAI HALAL GRILL

Simple, fuss-free Thai dishes are whipped up inside Apna Bazaar, an Indian grocery store in Longwood catering primarily to South Asian Muslims. The eatery run

Jin Seon-kyu, Yoo Hai-jin and Song Joong-ki in Space Sweepers, premiering Friday on Netflix PHOTO COURTESY NETFLIX

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss

by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY: All My Friends Are Dead — From Poland comes a shocker about two detectives who have plenty of dots to connect when a New Year’s Day investigation takes them into a house full of newly deceased partygoers. Wow, that’s a mindblower, all right. I mean … remember having people over? (Netflix) Firefly Lane — Of course Katherine Heigl had to co-executive produce her new series; you think anyone else is going to give her a job at this point? Heigl costars alongside Sarah “Darrin Stephens of the ’90s” Chalke in the story of friends whose relationship evolves over the course of 30 years. In real life, Heigl would have burned that bridge within three. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY: Haute Dog — Here’s a litter (get it?) of new episodes of the reality competition in which pet pooches get extreme makeovers.

Meanwhile, you’ve been cutting your own hair for 10 months, but Sir Coco Fabulous gots places to be! (HBO Max) A Nightmare Wakes — Mary Shelley pulled off a feat for the ages when she changed the course of horror literature with her very first novel. So naturally, this dramatization of those storied events focuses on the possibility that she was on drugs and/or having an affair at the time. Mothers, sit your daughters down in front of this one and let them know they can be anything! (Shudder)

PREMIERES FRIDAY: Earwig and the Witch — A brand-new Studio Ghibli flick? Their first in seven years? And it’s based on a book by the same author who provided the source material for Howl’s Moving Castle? Wow, there’ll

never be a reason to go to a movie theater ever again! Until you read the fine print and notice Earwig wasn’t directed by Hayao Miyazaki, but his son, Haro, and that it ends a proud company tradition by being entirely computer-animated. OK, so maybe I’m going to buy that AMC stock after all. (HBO Max) The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears — If you ask me, it’s a complete outrage that Britney has been stripped of her autonomy by a bunch of vultures who have exploited her mentalhealth struggles for their own gain. So after we’re done watching this documentary, I say we all write angry emails demanding she be returned to the level of self-determination she had 20 years ago, when she was telling America to shut up and do whatever George W. Bush wanted. Wait … shit. (Hulu) Malcolm & Marie — Euphoria creator Sam Levinson wrote and directed Zendaya and John David Washington in the story of a filmmaker who faces a personal crisis after the premiere of his latest picture.

Let me guess: He just found out it’s going to HBO Max. (Netflix) Space Sweepers — Remember Quark, the 1970s comedy series about an interstellar garbage scow? Well, apparently the Japanese do too, because they’ve gifted us with a flick that’s likewise about a team of deep-space salvage experts. In the story, our heroes discover a sought-after girl robot out there among the wreckage. And thank God she’s only 7 years old, because you know what the Japanese would ordinarily do with a concept like that. (Netflix) Strip Down Rise Up — Striptease students take center stage in a documentary that’s out to prove the art form can empower women of all backgrounds and body types. Come on, Steve’s Boner: This is your moment to make us look good and woke! Because that feigned disgust for Katherine Heigl isn’t fooling anybody. (Netflix) orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES A standout rap release this

month is Point of View by Orlando’s Cydney Poitier, the newest addition to local label Gas Face Records. In today’s uneven, trapthick landscape, this album stands out with its classic, true-school hip-hop vein. It’s a record that runs deep with tone and grit, weaving mood and narrative beyond basic street braggadocio. It’s available on Cydney Poitier’s Bandcamp or through Gas Face Records.

Ever since New Year’s Eve, emerging local shoegaze rockers Sad Halen have been firing a steady barrage of fireworks over on Bandcamp. Across five releases, they’ve dropped a total of 11 tracks. A few of the singles are older recordings just now seeing the light of day, but the superior work is their new material on both the two-track All the Things You Will See and six-song EP Frens. Both records rip like a woolier Dinosaur Jr. and stand as some of the most outstanding Orlando releases in a while. As of this writing, all of Sad Halen’s releases are still available as donation-based downloads on Bandcamp.

On Jan. 10, Orlando band the BellTowers unveiled Magnetic: Reel One. The five-song collection is the first of a pair of companion releases recorded in analog on a Sony MCI JH-24 24-track 2-inch vintage tape machine. The result is a session that’s got great sound and feel, and is some of their best material yet. That approach is just about as hand-in-textured-glove as it gets for an act as faithfully vintage as these 1960s rock revivalists. The follow-up, Magnetic: Reel Two, releases this week on Feb. 5.

Gerald Law II and the Clutch: This local jazz group led by drummer-composer Gerald Law II kicks off a strong weekend of expression that’s not just incidentally Black but proudly and intentionally so, a fitting way to launch Black History Month. More than just musical selections from Law’s latest two companion albums (From G to You: Vol I & Vol II), this program will notably feature selections from “Who We Are,” a CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK multimedia project by Gerald and brothThis week is notably strong for Black ers Joel and Jamiel that frames African voices and EDM fans.

“QUICKIES”

I’m a 30-year-old straight woman in a three-year relationship with my live-in partner, who is also 30. I love him and he loves me, and he wants to make a life with me.

However, in this pandemic, the stress is so great that I have lost all desire to have sex.

I don’t want anyone touching me right now, not even myself.

I feel like I’m in survival mode. I lost the career I love and I’m working four different jobs to make up for it. I have also been coming to terms in therapy with a sexual trauma I suffered, which is making me want to be touched even less.

He’s been extremely patient and says that we can work through it, but I’m really worried that this is the death knell for our relationship. I’m really trying to figure out ways to get myself back in good working order, Dan, but honestly, I’m just trying to survive every day right now. Help?

Witty Acronym Here First, you’re not alone. So many people have seen their libidos tank in response to the overlapping stresses of lockdowns and job losses that sex researchers are talking about (and documenting) a “pandemic sex recession.”

So, what can you do?

You have a long, hard slog in front of you, personally and professionally, and you need to carve out enough time and space for yourself so you get through this. And to do that you’re not just going to need to reset your partner’s expectations for the duration of the pandemic and/or until you’re back on your feet again professionally and emotionally, you’re going to need to take his yes for an answer. If he tells you he’s willing to tough/rub it out until you’re less stressed out, less overworked and less overwhelmed, and he’s not being passive-aggressive about your lack of desire, then you should take him at his word. If he’s not trying to make you feel bad about the sex you aren’t having right now, WAH, don’t make yourself feel bad about it.

There’s no guarantee your relationship will survive this (the pandemic), that (your crushing workload) or the other thing (the trauma you’re working through in therapy).

Any one of those things or some other thing could wind up being the death knell for your relationship.

But the only way to find out if your desire for your partner will kick back into gear post-pandemic, post-career-crisis and postcoming-to-terms-with-past-sexual-trauma is to hang in there, WAH, and reassess once you’re past those posts. Will you two still be together once you’re out of survival mode?

Survive and find out. Good luck.

I’m a 34-year-old straight woman dating a 32-year-old straight man. When we first met, we had both recently relocated to our hometown and were living with our parents. When we first started dating, things were great — however, the sex wasn’t mind-blowing.

Foreplay was limited and he always jumped out of bed afterward.

I thought this was probably due to the fact that while we had privacy, we were having sex at my parent’s house, which isn’t particularly sexy. We finally moved in together nine months ago and now it feels like we’ve been married for decades.

He almost always turns my sexual advances down. And when we do have sex, it lasts about five minutes and I do all of the work and get ZERO satisfaction out of it. He will hold my hand on the couch, but if I ask him to cuddle, he acts like I am asking for a huge favor. I’ve explained to him I need to feel wanted and to have some kind of intimacy in this relationship. And yet, despite the multiple conversations about how sexually, physically and emotionally unsatisfied I am, he has put in little effort.

Otherwise, our relationship is great. We have fun together, I love him, I want to be with him, and we’ve talked about marriage and kids, but I also can’t live this way for the rest of my life. What can I expect from a man who is emotionally and physically unavailable?

Intimate Needs That Involve Making A Team Effort A lifetime of frustration.

You wanna make the sex and physical intimacy work because so much else is working — it sounds like pretty much everything else is working — but you can’t make the sex and intimacy work if he’s not willing to work on it. And even if he were willing to work on it, INTIMATE — even if he were willing to make an effort sexually — there’s no guarantee that working on it will actually work. Some couples work on this shit for decades and get nowhere.

Opening the relationship up might make it possible for you to have him and sexual satisfaction too — by getting sexual satisfaction elsewhere — but opening up a relationship also requires effort, INTIMATE, and effort clearly isn’t his thing. DTMFA. My fiancé and I (both male) have been together for six years. I am fully out but he is only out to his close friends and his mom. The rest of his family doesn’t know. His co-workers don’t know. I’ve met his family and co-workers who don’t know and played the “friend” and “roommate” and it kills me, but he still won’t budge. It’s also not like

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 3-9, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

homosexuality is taboo in his family. He has a gay uncle, and his uncle and his partner are invited to family holidays and welcomed with open arms. Is it even worth continuing this relationship?

Feeling Insecure About Needlessly Closeted Engagement Your fiancé has to choose: He can have you or he can have his closet, but he can’t have both. It’s not about telling him what to do, FIANCE, it’s about setting boundaries around what you’re willing to do. And for the last six years you let him drag you back into the closet — you were willing to pretend to be his friend or his roommate — but you’re not willing to do that anymore. If he wants to have a life with you, he can choose to come out. If he’s not willing to come out, he’ll have to learn to live without you.

I wanted to say something about WEASS, the man with the HIV-positive boyfriend who was reluctant to disclose his status to a new sex partner.

As someone who’s been HIV-positive and undetectable for almost 18 years, Dan, I’ve gone through a few different iterations of dealing with (or not) and disclosing my status (or not). But starting about 10 years ago it just seemed easier on my conscience to disclose my +/U status to my partners — that is, HIV-positive but undetectable and therefore not capable of infecting anyone.

Even after nearly a decade of PrEP and decades of HIV education, my status still generates negative reactions ranging from guys declaring me “not clean” to guys accusing me of trying to spread the virus (which I literally can’t do) to guys rebuffing me in kinder ways. Even people on PrEP have gone from DTF to “no thanks” when I’ve disclosed.

So based on my experiences, Dan, I don’t think that every potential hookup out there would react in an informed and rational way, not even guys on PrEP. Undetectable Poz Fellow Relieved Over Not Telling Any Lies The man WEASS and his HIV-positive boyfriend were thinking about having a threesome with might react negatively to the disclosure — that’s why I advised WEASS to sound this guy out before looping his BF into the conversation. If the guy reacts badly, WEASS can spare his boyfriend the grief.

But if the guy reacts like an informed and rational gay grown-up, UPFRONTAL, then WEASS should loop his boyfriend in. mail@savagelove.net
