For Our Kids We Need To Get This Summer Right
Plus Summer Camp Registration

Freebee the free ride-hailing, on-demand, electric transportation service to residents and visitors started last Wednesday, May 26, 2021. You’re invited! The City welcomes Freebee, the free ridehailing, on-demand, electric transportation service to residents and visitors, it started last Wednesday, May 26th, 2021 with a ribbon cutting celebration at the Aventura Government Center.
Even under normal circumstances – pre-pandemic, that is – research showed that students in afterschool and summer learning programs get better grades During the Diamond Princess cruise ship’s outbreak in early February 2020, we had a real world demonstration of the behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite this real world clinical experience, the CDC and Dr. Fauci advised state governments to quarantine every living human being in the country.
What is Freebee? More than just a mode of transportation, Freebee is a unique platform transforming the way people commute within the community. Freebee service has already successfully partnered with numerous municipalities in Miami-Dade County by providing inter-municipality transportation, while reducing carbon emissions and alleviating traffic congestion. Bringing the service to Aventura, is a great expansion, it provides other transit options for residents and visitors in the City Of Aventura, by taking them to major points of interest within the City limits including: Aventura’s Government Center, Aventura’s Community Recreation Center, The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, Founders Park, Peace Park, Veterans Park, Waterways Dog Park, Waterways Park, The Aventura Mall and The Aventura Hospital. Additionally, Freebee’s ecofriendly, electric and emission-
Proves That Einstein Was Right being in the country. The lessons of the Diamond Princess faded from the news while a neverending campaign of fear, persisted. Only the well-informed, realized the news was presented through agenda-colored glasses. It’s not smart to keep people indoors, when by May 2020, we knew 66 percent of New York’s new cases were in folks who stayed home. The scientific consensus was leaning toward emerging evidence, that the SARS-CoV-2 Virus was spread by tiny aerosols, which could be reduced by good ventilation. After more than a year, the CDC finally acknowledged real world evidence “the science” and announced that “less than 10 percent” of transmission had occurred outdoors. Data shows the actual outdoor transmission is somewhere between 0.1 and 1
For students and educators alike, this school year has been a seemingly endless grind, presenting one trauma-inducing challenge, after another. School schedules have been in flux, safety protocols have been an adjustment, screen time has been on overload and throughout, this specter, of a horrible disease has loomed over us. Many students have felt isolated, some haven’t done as well with on-line learning – either for reasons of access or simply, because, it just didn’t click for them. Others have been entirely left behind and in short, we have a lot of ground to make up. So, as summer approaches, our schools and families face painful challenges, as they work to bring students back together. Our children need the chance to make up any lost ground and reconnect with classmates. But, we need that to happen in a way that doesn’t burn out students and teachers, all of whom, have been through the ringer, this past year. With a boost from the American Rescue Plan, the latest COVID relief bill from Washington, many children and families will find that summer learning programs are the solution, if we

The COVID-19 Craziness By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD
One of Albert Einstein’s many aphorisms, “three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed,” is particularly apt in the COVID-19 Era. Our government’s duty is to warn the public of a possible Pandemic and recommend precautions. However, the initial COVID-19 tactic, was to strike fear into our hearts and minds. The constant display of COVID19 “cases” on the nightly news, suggested certain death awaited those who ventured out of their homes. During the Diamond Princess Cruiseship’s outbreak in early February of 2020, we had a real world demonstration of the behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus. Trapped in a floating Petri dish, the crew performed their duties and passengers were quarantined in their rooms with a ventilation system without spe-
cial high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, only 17 percent of the 3,711 occupants became infected with SARS-CoV-2, only half of whom had symptoms. Because 80 percent of those infected, were in cabins that didn’t have a previous confirmed case, the likely mode of infection was transmission of aerosols (in contrast to large droplets that quickly fall to the ground) through the ventilation system and locking the people in, had proved to be counterproductive. We also learned from the Diamond Princess episode, that the median age of symptomatic folks were people 68 years old, 50 percent of whom had underlying medical conditions and the deaths were in those over 70 years of age. Despite this real world clinical experience, the CDC and Dr. Fauci advised state governments to quarantine every living human
