But what's odd is, the article mentions "Tampa AREA" hospitals, but only mentions Gainesville. What's even odder (is that a word? Spellcheck didn't catch it) is, I looked at the cities mentioned and something stuck out like a sore thumb. Almost EVERY one of those cities have Democratic Mayors. I don't even have a clue whether that affects the V.A. itself, as I would consider them Federal (?), but it's the cities with the highest incidence of Covid cases in regards to those particular hospitals. It started looking so weird to me, I scanned through the article and jotted down every city mentioned, then Googled their mayors. I don't want to get into politics, but man-o-man, I have to admit it jumped out at me immediately, but I really have no clue what it means. Here's what I came up with.

New Jersey - Dem. Governor
E. Orange New Jersey - Dem. Mayor
Indianapolis - Dem. Mayor
D.C. - Dem. Mayor
Reno - Independent Mayor
Puerto Rico - (ALL) New Progressive or Dem.
Chicago - Dem. Mayor
NYC - Dem. Mayor
L.A. - Dem. Mayor
Tampa - Dem. Mayor
Miami - Rep. Mayor
Boston - Dem. Mayor
Minneapolis - Dem. Mayor
Cleveland - Dem. Mayor
San Antonio - Non-Partisan Mayor
Orlando - Dem. Mayor
Houston - Dem. Mayor
Atlanta - Dem. Mayor
Phoenix - Dem. Mayor
Gainesville - Dem. Mayor
Corpus Christi - Rep. Mayor
Milwaukee - Dem. Mayor

I honestly don't know if that means squat ... but it looks really weird to me.
