It was beyond baffling. It was terrifying. A condo tower collapsed in Surfside, burying 98 people in a concrete tomb. The world wanted to know: What makes a building that stood for 40 years fall in the middle of the night? And how do we ensure it never happens again? 🧵

Carvalho was asking if the district has considered pivoting back to remote: We haven’t thought about it because in Florida it’s not allowed, he said. Moreover, many students fell behind while learning from that platform.

Publix will be the newest place to get a COVID-19 vaccine in Florida, but only if you live in three of the state’s 67 counties. None of the stores are in South Florida, the state’s COVID epicenter. trib.al/pB4XBTZ
