In Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Armen Henderson, an African-American doctor who was handcuffed and detained outside his home Friday as he was wearing a mask and preparing for a volunteer shift to test homeless people for COVID-19, he responds to his arrest, describes why he is focused on working with the homeless, and discusses how local and state officials are handling the pandemic. On Monday, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees was removed from a press briefing with Governor DeSantis after he said social distancing measures might need to remain in place for a year or longer. Dr. Henderson is an internal medicine physician, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Miami and an organizer with Dream Defenders.
