Welcome to Satanists on Cinema. We are your hosts Satanist Cameron John and Reverend Campbell. Satanists on Cinema is a film review and commentary series that moves into your gentrified neighborhood, lays down roots, gets shot over racially motivated crimes we never committed then came back from the dead to terrorize our killers when a few teenagers thought it would be funny to say our names five times in a mirror. Welcome to our review of Candyman. Discussion * In response to the success of Freddy vs. Jason, a crossover film with Leprechaun, titled Candyman vs. Leprechaun, entered development. Tony Todd rejected the idea after being presented the script, saying "I will never be involved in something like that."* In 2004, Todd confirmed to Fangoria that a fourth film was moving forward with Clive Barker's involvement and a $25 million budget.* By 2009, Deon Taylor was attached to direct the film, which would have been set in New England during the winter at an all-women's college, and would ignore the events of Candyman: Day of the Dead.* The film eventually fell apart due to disputes amongst the rights owners.* In September 2018, it was announced that Jordan Peele was in talks to produce a sequel of the 1992 film through his Monkeypaw Productions.* In November 2018, it was confirmed that Peele and Win Rosenfeld would produce the film with Universal and MGM, while Nia DaCosta signed on as director.* Directed by Nia DaCosta* Screenplay by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and Nia DaCosta* The film is a direct sequel to the 1992 film of the same name and the fourth film in the Candyman film series, based on the short story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker.* puppetry animation sequences which were created by Chicago-based puppet theater company Manual Cinema.* hate to do a traditional flashback scene (laughs) or to use footage from the original film* it became less about flashbacks and more about how we depict these stories, these legends.* Burke plans to have the police gun Anthony down to create a new legend with the Candyman as an instrument of vengeance rather than a symbol of Black pain and suffering.

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 24:29 * Letters from the Devil  - April 11, 1971* Becky R. from Dallas TX wrote in to ask Herr Doktor for a spell to counteract a curse her girlfriend put on her, making her want her. You know, a love curse.* She has turned to drinking and taking drugs in an effort to counteract the curse, even cast magic spells and incantations.* LaVey replies that Becky seems to think homosexuality is repugnant and is trying to hide her natural feelings toward her friend.* He suggests admitting to herself what she is, and recognising that there is nothing wrong with it. * She should confront her friend in a non physical way and explain her feelings. 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 39:55 * FBI releases 9/11 investigation document that scrutinized Saudis* https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/fbi-911-document-declassified/2021/09/12/fa37b584-13c9-11ec-9589-31ac3173c2e5_story.html* The FBI has released the first of what are expected to be several documents from its investigation into whether agents of the Saudi Arabian government provided support to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror plot, a move heralded by victims’ families, though it yielded no tangible proof of official involvement.* The Saturday night release was the result of an executive order issued by President Biden earlier this month ordering government agencies to review, declassify and release more information regarding the investigation.* Some families of 9/11 victims have sued the Saudi government, alleging the Saudis knowingly provided financial and logistics support to the terrorism plot, something that country’s government has long denied. As part of that lawsuit, lawyers for the families have fought for years to force the FBI to share what it knows about possible connections between the 9/11 hijackers, most of whom were citizens of Saudi Arabia, and any Saudi diplomats or intelligence operatives.* Brett Eagleson, whose father was killed in the attacks, said it was “particularly meaningful” that the first document in response to the executive order was released on the 20th anniversary of the attacks. “Today marks the moment when the Saudis cannot rely on the U.S. government from hiding the truth about 9/11,” he said in a written statement pledging to “hold the Saudi government fully accountable for the tremendous pain and losses we suffered.”* Biden signed the executive order after families of hundreds of 9/11 victims said he would not be welcome at this year’s events marking the anniversary unless he declassified evidence.* In 2019, the Trump administration said it would share some of the relevant information with the families, but would not provide other details about the bureau’s findings, invoking the rarely-used state secrets privilege to argue that some elements of the investigation into the 9/11 attacks would damage national security if they were revealed.* Justice Department lawyers said last month they had recently closed an investigation related to the attacks, making it easier to share documents like the one released Saturday.* That document shows that FBI agents were still investigating as recently as 2016 possible ties between two of the hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar, and those who may have helped them after they arrived in the United State...

The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 8:56 * Are you trapped in your archetype? * I don’t wear hot topic (anymore lol) but I would argue depending on your archetype there can be power in that aesthetic. Many times people write you off, or don’t pay attention to you; all the while you work away out of the spotlight. Then you surprise doubters with your achievements.

The Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 24:04 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Humans Of Spirit Airlines (@humansofspiritairlines) * Mystery woman struts through airport wearing only a bikini — and mask* https://nypost.com/2021/09/03/woman-sets-internet-alight-after-strolling-through-airport-in-only-a-bikini-and-mask/* An anonymous blonde woman set passenger-shaming sites aflame after she was filmed strolling through a US airport in nothing but a bikini — and her face mask. An Instagram video of her runway modeling stint has garnered nearly 10,000 views in less than 24 hours.* “When you have a pool party at noon and a Spirit Airlines flight to catch at 4pm,” reads the caption to the viral clip, which was posted Thursday to “Humans of Spirit Airlines” — an Instagram account that pokes fun at passengers on the oft-lampooned airline that is now referred to as an “ultra-low-cost carrier.”* Indeed, the shocking footage features the mystery mischief maker walking nonchalantly through the terminal of an unnamed airport while sporting skimpy olive green swimwear and toting a backpack.* However, while her itsy bitsy, teenie weenie airport attire may have left little to the imagination, she was still wearing a face mask in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration mandates, the Insta account — one of many posting the peculiar peccadillos of frequent flyers — observed. The Transportation Security announced in August that flyers who break mask mandates can be fined from $250 to $1,500.* Meanwhile, when reached by The Post for comment, a spokesman for Spirit Airlines said the viral video is “unverified” but not surprising given the thirsty nature of social media.* “This account often falsely attributes photos and videos to Spirit Airlines,” the rep told The Post. “The video could have been taken at any time or any place and it has no identifying characteristic of any airline. I checked, and we have no record of this on file.”* But if she were flying the airline, Spirit’s contract of carriage states that passengers may be prevented from boarding ...

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 9:49 * Open Your Heart to Hell* There is an exotic element to Satanism that attracts most of us. * Before you ever read The Satanic Bible, you had an uninformed view of the religion* The imagery from ritual, altars, LaVey or the Sigil of Baphomet excited or terrified you* With exposure to other Satanists simpler than ever, I think its easy to lose that sense of exoticism the religion emanates* This isn't necessarily because of the individual satanists, but exposure creates familiarity and normality* Opening your heart to Hell is another way of saying keep it exotic through aesthetics, perspective or practice* Keep your ritual implements put away* Allow your imagination to run wild in and out of the chamber* Embrace myths and mysteries* Scare yourself* If you take the approach Greater Magic requires of suppressing your cognitive mind in other environments, it can help to maintain the exotic and terrifying nature this religion once held as a promise.* Do not let yourself normalize a religion that is not normal. 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 29:45 * What is ISIS-K, the group that claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack?* https://www.cbsnews.com/news/isis-k-kabul-attack/* The terrorist group that claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack in Kabul, which killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans, is an offshoot of ISIS, known as ISIS-K.* An affiliate of ISIS, the group that spread into northern Iraq from Syria six years ago and once controlled territory roughly the size of Britain, ISIS-K first emerged in Pakistan around the same time, in 2015. Its members have come from other Pakistani militant groups, including disillusioned Taliban fighters. * "What ISIS-K did was lure disaffected others," said Seth Jones, director of the transnational threats project at the Center for Strategic International Studies.* Its members generally hold the view that members of the Taliban are impure and not extremist enough. ISIS-K is also known for its fanaticism, and is more brutal than the Taliban.* The "K" in the name signifies Khorasan province, a region encompassing parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. ISIS-K views itself as a global operation, as al Qaeda did in 2001, and seeks to reestablish the historic boundaries of the province, which also extend beyond Afghanistan to parts of Iran and Central Asia.* Where does it operate?* Primarily, it operates in northeastern Afghanistan, in the Kunar province, according to analysts, and has recently bolstered positions in and around Kabul.* ISIS-K conducted 77 attacks in Afghanistan during the first four months of 2021, according to a UNSC June report, a big spike from the 21 during the same period in 2020.* How big is ISIS-K?* ISIS-K has never been a large network -- at its peak, it numbered 4,000 to 6,000 and today has less than half. A July report by the UN Security Council estimated the group now has between 500-1,200 fighters, but has the capacity to increase to 10,000.* Early on, the group received support and funding from core ISIS leadership in Iraq and Syria, which enabled it to spread into Afghanistan.* The U.S. has taken action against the group in the past, with airstrikes that killed ISIS-K's first, second, third and fourth emirs. By some estimates, American forces killed 75% of its fighters. * In 2017, the U.S.

Welcome to Satanists on Cinema. We are your hosts Satanist Cameron John and Reverend Campbell. Satanists on Cinema is a film review and commentary series that travels the world, leaving our shitty American culture on everyone’s doorstep, even if they don’t have a door. But at least we have the decency to photograph every moment of the experience in Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts and flip flops; being sure to try local cuisine that we immediately spit up as loudly as possible, ending up at KFC or McDonalds, you know, so we blend in. Welcome to our review of Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. Discussion * Log Line: A documentary about Anthony Bourdain and his career as a chef, writer and host, revered and renowned for his authentic approach to food, culture and travel.* 2021 American documentary film directed and produced by Morgan Neville.* Release date June 11, 2021 (Tribeca) & July 16, 2021 (United States)* garnered controversy over its use of artificial intelligence technology to reproduce Bourdain's voice for some audio clips.* director Morgan Neville stated in an interview with New Yorker writer Helen Rosner that he had hired a software company to create an artificial intelligence (AI) model of Bourdain's voice so that the film could emulate him reciting words that he had written, but for which no recordings of him speaking exist, such as an email he had written to friend David Choe. Neville said there were two other such uses of the technology in the film, but refused to specify what they were, stating, "If you watch the film [...] you probably don’t know what the other lines are that were spoken by the A.I., and you’re not going to know. We can have a documentary-ethics panel about it later.* Ottavia Busia, Bourdain's ex-wife and executor of his estate, denied that she had been consulted about the use of AI to reproduce Bourdain's voice, tweeting: "I certainly was NOT the one who said Tony would have been cool with that."* The film follows the life and career of Anthony Bourdain, who died by suicide on June 8, 2018 at the age of 61 while on location in France for his CNN show Parts Unknown. * The documentary features interviews with David Chang and Éric Ripert, as well as members of the production crew from Parts Unknown. * The title alludes to "Roadrunner", a song by The Modern Lovers, that appears in the film.* Writing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman described the film as "an intimate and fascinating portrait of the beloved celebrity chef and television globe-trotter" and "a spiritual investigation into why [Bourdain's] life ended". He concluded: "Bourdain’s death was a tragedy, but Roadrunner suggests it was a tragedy with a touch of destiny.” Links * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14512538/* 7.9/10 stars* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner:_A_Film_About_Anthony_Bourdain* https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/roadrunner_a_film_about_anthony_bourdain* 92% Certified Fresh with a 94% audience score Ratings Satanist Cameron John 4 Banana Stickers Rating Reverend Campbell 4 Banana Stickers Rating https://youtu.be/lEk6ovPHBHs

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 9:18 * Don’t Be Afraid of Rocking the Boat* Anytime you get people together there tends to be some level of mob mentality* Members of the collective begin to echo behaviors or preferences of the collective or its proposed leader* This is not always a bad thing, it has helped us adapt and survive, forming tribes for safety* The danger is when you loose your independence for the herd, or worse, you give it up and choose not to express your mind when you are inclined to for fear of rocking the boat* If you are in a collective that stifles you, leave* You can still identify with the core tenants of that collective but you are not being allowed, directly or indirectly, to be an individual and any collective that shuns an individual is toxic* Can Satanic collectives be toxic? Hell yes!* You may be seen as an outcast, shit disturber or asshole by ‘rocking the boat’, but you will be honest to yourself, which is much more important* You will not always have the luxury of doing this, but being aware of it is infinitely more important than simply going along out of fear of offending. 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 27:26 * Lindsey Graham Says Biden Should Be Impeached if He Leaves Americans, Allies in Afghanistan* https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-says-biden-should-impeached-if-he-leaves-americans-allies-afghanistan-1621666* Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Friday that if President Joe Biden leaves any Americans or Afghan allies in Afghanistan, he should be impeached.* "We're duty-bound to get every American citizen out, we're honor-bound to get those Afghans who fought along our side out," Graham told Fox and Friends.* "If we leave one American behind, if we don't get all those Afghans who stepped up to the plate to help us out, then Joe Biden, in my view, has committed a high crime and misdemeanor under the Constitution and should be impeached," Graham added.* Biden has faced sharp criticism for his administration's evacuation of Afghanistan after the Afghan government fell to the Taliban last weekend.* During a press briefing on Friday, Biden vowed to evacuate the Americans left in the country.* "Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home," Biden said.* Biden has said his administration is aiming to complete the evacuation of Americans by August 31.* The president also pledged Friday to evacuate Afghan allies from the country.* "We're going to do everything, everything that we can, to provide safe evacuation for our Afghan allies, partners and Afghans who might be targeted because of their association with the United States," Biden said.* During his remarks on Friday, Biden noted that the U.S. has evacuated 13,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14, and 18,000 since July. The Biden administration has said that it isn't sure about exactly how many Americans are still in the country.* The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Newsweek Friday afternoon.* In his comments on Fox News, Graham said that Biden's handling of the situation in Afghanistan has made it harder to for America to make allies "because we're going to abandon those Afghans who helped us.* "And quite frankly, he's made another 9/11 tenfold more likely by withdrawing everybody.

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 22:01 * The Importance of Being Alone* When you’re in a crew of friends or a relationship you tend to take on their traits* You need to have air around you so you can truly understand who you are* What is important to you, is based on where you are in your head* You need to focus on yourself and your happiness* Put on your oxygen before you help your child in a car crash* If you are checking your phone you are not alone* Social media is toxic by every measure, but its effects on an individual priorities are even more so* If you are not an individual, you are not capable of being a Satanist 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 33:18 * A critical ocean system may be heading for collapse due to climate change, study finds* https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2021/08/05/change-ocean-collapse-atlantic-meridional/* Human-caused warming has led to an “almost complete loss of stability” in the system that drives Atlantic Ocean currents, a new study has found — raising the worrying prospect that this critical aquatic “conveyor belt” could be close to collapse.* In recent years, scientists have warned about a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which transports warm, salty water from the tropics to northern Europe and then sends colder water back south along the ocean floor. Researchers who study ancient climate change have also uncovered evidence that the AMOC can turn off abruptly, causing wild temperature swings and other dramatic shifts in global weather systems.* Scientists haven’t directly observed the AMOC slowing down. But the new analysis, published Thursday in the journal Nature Climate Change, draws on more than a century of ocean temperature and salinity data to show significant changes in eight indirect measures of the circulation’s strength.* These indicators suggest that the AMOC is running out of steam, making it more susceptible to disruptions that might knock it out of equilibrium, said study author Niklas Boers, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.* If the circulation shuts down, it could bring extreme cold to Europe and parts of North America, raise sea levels along the U.S. East Coast and disrupt seasonal monsoons that provide water to much of the world.* The AMOC is the product of a gigantic, ocean-wide balancing act. It starts in the tropics, where high temperatures not only warm up the seawater but also increase its proportion of salt by boosting evaporation. This warm, salty water flows northeast from the U.S. coastline toward Europe — creating the current we know as the Gulf Stream.* But as the current gains latitude it cools, adding density to waters already laden with salt. By the time it hits Greenland, it is dense enough to sink deep beneath the surface. It pushes other submerged water south toward Antarctica, where it mixes with other ocean currents as part of a global system known as the “thermohaline circulation.”* This circulation is at the heart of Earth’s climate system, playing a critical role in redistributing heat and regulating weather patterns around the world.* As long as the necessary temperature and salinity gradients exist, AMOC is self-sustaining, Boers explained. The predictable physics that make dense water sink and lighter water “upwell” keep t...

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 21:19 * When does Studying prevent Living Satanism?* There is something to be said for getting together with other Satanists and talking about Satanists* There is a fine line between this and developing a community* There is also a fine line between this and creating an echo chamber* I have discussed how Satanists online need to measure their successes and essentially ‘raise the bar’ on what success is, but you also have to get off the damn computer at some point to do that.* Step away from Satanism as a religious study and focus on your actual life. Study not worship means more than just study,* You can find yourself worshipping the religion itself rather than yourself* Study the religion to understand the tools it provides for your use, then get out in the real world and use those tools! 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 40:47 * The Last Children of Down Syndrome* https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/12/the-last-children-of-down-syndrome/616928/* Fält-Hansen, a 54-year-old schoolteacher, heads Landsforeningen Downs Syndrom, or the National Down Syndrome Association, in Denmark, and she herself has an 18-year-old son, Karl Emil, with Down syndrome.* Once, Fält-Hansen remembers, it was a couple who had waited for their prenatal screening to come back normal before announcing the pregnancy to friends and family. “We wanted to wait,” they’d told their loved ones, “because if it had Down syndrome, we would have had an abortion.” They called Fält-Hansen after their daughter was born—with slanted eyes, a flattened nose, and, most unmistakable, the extra copy of chromosome 21 that defines Down syndrome. They were afraid their friends and family would now think they didn’t love their daughter—so heavy are the moral judgments that accompany wanting or not wanting to bring a child with a disability into the world.* in 2004, Denmark became one of the first countries in the world to offer prenatal Down syndrome screening to every pregnant woman, regardless of age or other risk factors. Nearly all expecting mothers choose to take the test; of those who get a Down syndrome diagnosis, more than 95 percent choose to abort.* Denmark is not on its surface particularly hostile to disability. People with Down syndrome are entitled to health care, education, even money for the special shoes that fit their wider, more flexible feet. If you ask Danes about the syndrome, they’re likely to bring up Morten and Peter, two friends with Down syndrome who starred in popular TV programs where they cracked jokes and dissected soccer games. Yet a gulf seems to separate the publicly expressed attitudes and private decisions. Since universal screening was introduced, the number of children born with Down syndrome has fallen sharply. In 2019, only 18 were born in the entire country. (About 6,000 children with Down syndrome are born in the U.S. each year.)* Fält-Hansen is in the strange position of leading an organization likely to have fewer and fewer new members. The goal of her conversations with expecting parents, she says, is not to sway them against abortion; she fully supports a woman’s right to choose. These conversations are meant to fill in the texture of daily life missing both from the well-meaning cliché that “people with Down syndrome are always happy” and from the litany of possible ...

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 10:20 * 9sense Letter: Should I join?* I joined the Temple of Set some 8 months ago, because I anticipated something like LaVey + Robert Greene + more philosophical psychodrama. My bad. I also anticipated that these guys understand their Setian mythos and “holy books” as psychodramatic tools for generating temporary beliefs important in rituals. But WTF?! They seem, at least most of them, to take all this stuff literally and they REALLY believe in it. Most of the time they discuss, speculate and ponder about their imagined realities and impractical matters. Completely lost in it, dead serious and stiff, pushing into some collectivist activities, ignoring the enormous cost opportunity of all this nonsense. I am always looking at the real function (real life impact) of any philosophy/teaching as opposed to how it looks "on a paper" and in the case of Setianism it's devitalisation. And enclosement in the "occult social bubbles" exactly as you pertinently described in the last episode of 9sense.* Moreover, studying and discussing magical theories and topics is nice and cozy, but it is not magic and it will not make a magician from anybody. Also rituals and ceremonies are merely the first steps into real magic and technique. I am certainly not interested in the magical LARPing. Since I am in the ToS, (he goes on to share his personal accomplishments) Now these guys are acting like all of this somehow doesn't matter and more important are "right answers" about metaphysical mumbo-jumbo in an email "Recognition dialogue". C'mon. (What I told them.)  * I am a Chaos Magic veteran working mainly with psychological/parapsychological or panpsychist models of magic focused on real-world success. (Why even bother with magic without this focus? Without it it's just plain nonsense.) I consider a magician who is still imprisoned in a lousy nine to five job a weak magician. A beginner. I don't care what titles he/she flashes. Many if not most of the mundane jobs are such profound waste of time/potential/energy that I cannot see how anybody would choose it if he/she has other options. And a magician without options in such an important life domain is not a magician at all according to my standards. * I made myself independent and autonomous by magic. I can do anything I want, anytime I want it, wherever and with anybody I choose. I am not subservient to my boss, to any company or institution. In fact, I could stop working today completely and I would be fine financially until my death. I accomplished this by two decades of magic, mastery and focused creativity. Completely from the scratch, from a small town and without any backup. * So I am surprised to see (on social media, skype/zoom sessions or other presentations) many high, even highest grades members of the ToS evidently struggling financially and in lousy jobs. I am not impressed by their real world - not imagined - accomplishments. I am also surprised by the fact that many of them are obese, not physically fit and even sloppy. Some of them probably not mentally fit too, judged by their undignified political and ideological rants on social media. And some, maybe, even on drugs or heavy drinking. I don't see proclaimed perfection. * Next, I am confident that another important attribute of a real magician is mastery. Concrete domain is not so important, but the mastery must be evident. Presented artistic creations (paintings, songs, poets, etc.) of the many ToS members are mediocre at the best. * So I want to ask. Sincerely, is the situation in the Church of Satan somehow different? I have read The Satanic Scriptures by Peter H. Gilmore and it was great.

1. The Devil's Advocate Time Stamp: 9:52 * Satanists Phase Out* I have been reflecting on the purpose of this podcast since its beginning in 2011. * The joy I gain from performing this show is from the live audience. * I have seen trends in the audience in all that time. Discovery, Excitement, Advocacy, then Absence. Periodic returns* This cycle is acceptable because it is auto renewing. As viewers move on, more come in. I imagine its the same with Satanistm and the Church of Satan as well. In fact, the Doktor said as much in his newsletters.* This is what Grottos dealt with, and the first Magic Circle and regular presentations had much the same. New people are coming in. Old viewers regularly showing up, then eventually moving on.* This is the Satanic Cycle. You discover Satanism, Get Excited about it. Discuss it with those of like mind, then move on to apply it in your life.* I wouldn’t want it any other way. It is nice to see regular names in the crowd, and it is encouraging when I see old ones that have been absent a long time. * The dynamic of a show is admittedly different than a grotto or the magic circle, but the content is much the same. Satanists talking about Satanism and ideas that are tangential to it. Sometimes we ritualise, sometimes we share our losses or celebrate our sorrows, but ultimately, unlike the Grotto, we are not huddling together. We are individuals apart. Connected by religion, while we are paving our own destinies.* There will not be a time for grottos, and arguably, there never should have been one. But there will always be a time for 9sense.* Thank you for spending your valuable time with me. 2. Infernal Informant Time Stamp: 25:13 * Florida averages 3,380+ new COVID-19 cases per day as delta variant surges* https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2021/07/09/florida-averages-3400-new-covid-19-cases-per-day-as-delta-variant-surges/* As the country is seeing an increase in COVID-19 delta variant cases, Florida is seeing a jump in overall coronavirus cases and a higher positivity rate.* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s projected data shows the delta variant now accounts for more than half of all the cases in the U.S. for the week ending on July 3. The delta variant, first identified in India, is considered highly transmissible and has raised concerns that the country will not be able to continue easing COVID-19 restrictions as quickly as planned.* The state saw a positivity rate above 5% last week for the first time since May 10 and Orange County reported a positivity rate this week of nearly 6%. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said the data shows “the numbers are not trending in the right direction.”* Health officials in Orange County are concerned as the county has 40 confirmed cases of the delta variant, though Dr. Raul Pino, of the Florida Department of Health, says the number could be higher. He, like many other officials, are urging vaccinations to help reduce the spread of the variant and said about 40% of the county’s population remains unvaccinated.* “We are going to have a pandemic brewing in unvaccinated people and then we’re going to have about 60% of our population protected,” he said during a weekly update.* In an effort to bring vaccinations to people, especially younger populations,
