By Tal Axelrod - 06/03/20 12:58 PM EDT

On Wednesday, Florida saw its largest number of new cases of the coronavirus since mid-April as the state works to reopen its economy.

The Florida Department of Health announced the state has a total of 58,764 confirmed cases of the disease, a jump of 1,317 from the day before.

Wednesday’s total is Florida’s largest since April 17, when it had a daily total of 1,413 cases. Some 2,566 people have died from the virus in Florida.

More than half of the state’s cases are concentrated in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties in South Florida.

STATEWIDE NUMBERS 6-6-2020     

Total number of cases: 62,758
Deaths: 2,688

That's an increase for the last 3 days of 3,944 cases.    Roughly 1,300 cases day.  I'd say that's pretty substantial.

Since the death rate is only 0.26%, we just have to live with the virus until it burns out.  There is little than can be done without harming far more people.  They must be encouraged to improve their overall health so opportunistic diseases will not pose such a threat.
