Florida records over 10K COVID-19 cases, highest single-day increase
By Jessie Hellmann - 07/02/20 12:18 PM EDT

Florida recorded 10,109 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, the highest single-day increase for the state.

There are now more than 169,000 confirmed cases in Florida. An additional 68 deaths were reported Wednesday, bringing the total number of COVID-19 fatalities to  3,718.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has taken some steps to try to slow the spread of the virus, including closing bars and some beaches. While he has not issued a statewide mask mandate, several localities require the use of masks in public.


Experts attribute the rise in cases in Florida and other states to reopening businesses too quickly after a weeks-long shutdown and lax following of social distancing recommendations.

Cases? Cases are virtually meaningless. Morbidity, mortality related to Covid-19 are the salient metrics that should guide governors in opening their states and America’s opportunities for a good life.

Color me skeptical....
To infect 10,000 people you would have to have 2 or three times that running around with fevers.....
