'Epicenter of the epicenter': Young people partying in Miami Beach despite COVID-19 threat

Quote:
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.

You are an emotional beast.

Of course the Florida death rate is going up up up ...

That's what happens when you list everyone under the sun as a covid death.

They have not changed the way they count them, but the numbers continue to sky-rocket.

A number of cities in Texas have requested for refrigerated trucks to store the bodies.

We've been through this before.

USS Comfort in NYC.

McCormick Place in Chgo.

Colorado Convention Center.

Wisconsin Expo Center.

TCF Center in Detroit.

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.
