Sarasota Memorial Hospital workers receive death threats after COVID-19 response report [View all]

Criticism of Sarasota Memorial Hospital's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and over a recent report on its pandemic performance has escalated to voicemail and online threats against doctors and hospital staff, according to the hospital and Sarasota Police.

Hospital officials said Thursday they had asked police to investigate two death threats made against doctors at Sarasota Memorial in a COVID-19 forum on the multi-platform messaging service “Telegram.”

Sarasota Police Officer Jessica Matias could not locate the forum host online and documented the attempt in an incident report.

A Sarasota Memorial Hospital spokesperson said that the hospital has received several threats via electronic media and voicemail.

This is the environment DeSantis helped to create and foster.
