Good news are hard to come by in Florida. The 7 day average in deaths is going straight up.
Florida adds more than 100 deaths for fourth day in a row as COVID-19 cases pass 327,000
Florida’s Department of Health on Friday confirmed 11,466 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the state’s total to 327,241. There were also 128 new Florida resident deaths announced, bringing the statewide resident death toll to 4,805.
Florida's record-setting spike in COVID-19 cases hasn't stopped visitors from partying in Miami Beach, which its mayor, Dan Gelber, calls "the epicenter of the epicenter."
While the fact that Miami is a tourist hot spot is typically a positive, it's exactly the opposite at a time when the city has more than 69,000 cases, the most of any Florida county and more than twice as much as neighboring Broward, the next on the list, according to USA TODAY data.
Florida has recorded more than 77,000 cases in the past week alone and over 300,000 in all. The state – all on its own – has more infections than the United Kingdom or Spain, reports The Tallahassee Democrat, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Still, crowds continue to gather on Ocean Drive and on party boats, often promoted on Eventbrite, according to Gelber.
Some really stunning numbers coming out of Florida and the nation for that matter, 74,000 new cases today more than twice Brazil and India. We need to get this under control, we are going backward.

These states are taking the entire country backwards how is that none of my business. Other countries have a unified approach and it has been successful, in the US it’s every state developing its own policy and that has failed massively.

How many patients did those field hospitals take in?
What does overflow hospital bed capacity have to do with storing too many dead bodies?
Many docs have said people are dying before or right after admission - so maybe extra bed capacity isn't needed b/c the virus will kill 'em first.
Is that your point?
Be that as it may, deaths keep going up......because of COVID infection.
