An alert Eye on Jacksonville reader has posed some interesting questions for the folks in City Haul.

People infected with the Red Chinese virus are being given doses of Regeneron, a monoclonal antibody treatment, at the public library in the heart of busy downtown.

Simultaneously the city announced the library would be closed for mysterious unspecified “upgrades.”

People rushed to the site and it was so crowded at least one person was photographed lying on the floor. That incident made national news.

In response, the city put up a sign asking people not to lie on the floor.

There are a number of alternatives to using the library, our reader said.

The city owns the former Snyder Memorial church nearby, which is empty. Why not use it?

There are free health clinics all around the city (which are underused). Why not utilize them? At least they would be dispersed and not packed into a building in the city’s center.

We would ask city officials but Boss Lenny Curry does not allow anyone in the administration to talk to Eye on Jacksonville reporters because Eye is not “real media,” according to his information gatekeeper.

Man of few words but the words are researched well, deeply considered and thoughtfully written.
