ORLANDO, Fla. — For his 50th birthday, Seminole County Tax Collector J.R. Kroll received a six-day vacation to Iceland as a gift from his wife, Holly.
“I thought: ‘Wow, this sounds like a great trip,’” Kroll said.
But the venture was far from pleasant thanks to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Kroll found himself alone for nearly 11 days quarantined inside a “cruddy” government-run hotel room and being served three cold meals a day.
