Not that Florida really re-opened in the first place with all bars in South Florida still closed under orders of Governor DeSantis. Florida cases are hitting new records all the time, and the Testing vs Cases ratio also keeps increasing. Amazingly the Trump admin pretty much declared the pandemic a done-deal.
Restaurants again shutting their doors as coronavirus flares
On Tuesday, Texas reported an 8.3% increase in hospitalizations to a record 2,518, the largest daily jump since June 4. The rolling seven-day average rose to a record 2,243, according to the state health department.
Florida is one of of 22 states where daily coronavirus cases are rising. The state's hospitalization count has nearly doubled since May 4, when its governor relaxed a month-long stay-at-home order by letting restaurants and stores outside of South Florida open at 25% capacity. The Sunshine State reported 80,109 cases on Tuesday, an increase of 3.6% from Monday.
After biggest one-day coronavirus total, how bad could it get in Florida?
The record number came not as a spike on an otherwise flat trend line but followed two weeks of rising numbers. It comes as a growing percentage of people taking the test come up positive for the disease. And it’s accompanied by a rise in emergency room visits for flu-like symptoms since early May, a closely watched statistic thought to represent the leading edge of the disease.

Several restaurants in and near Jax Beach are closing suddenly for sanitization, but only some are saying why, while others confirm cases of COVID among staff.

I know nothing about Florida's virus, but the reason Texas has an increase in hospitalizations is because more people are going back into hospitals for procedures they put off during the shutdown, and now they are testing everyone. Therefore, more asymptomatic cases are being caught. The media is being misleading by implying that they hospitalizations are BECAUSE of the virus, which is not true. It's simply a case of the virus being present in hospitalized patients. The number of cases compared to testing, and number of deaths, show the true story - neither have spiked. Even with the misleading stats, the numbers are so small they can barely be considered a blip, given the size of Texas.
As for restaurants closing because their employees are testing positive, that is because tests are easier to get right now, so a restaurant owner can find out for sure if their employees have the virus. A few months ago, that wasn't an option.
I know the left so very desperately wants this virus to hit a second wave, but it's just not happening here in Texas.
A group of 16 friends all tested positive for coronavirus after a night out at a recently reopened Florida bar.
If one person is infected and you are in an enclosed space this will spread, bars are a terrible idea until this controlled.

Three members of the group, who spoke to CNN's Chris Cuomo Tuesday, said they want to remind the public that the pandemic is not over yet.
Quote:
"We want to raise awareness and get ahead of it," Kat Layton told Cuomo. "We want to tell people it's really not ready for what we thought it was ready for, it's too soon."
The group had gathered for a friend's birthday, they said. The bar was crowded, and no one was wearing masks,

Let's be clear about it, not just 'breitbart clear': Texas reports highest number of hospitalized coronavirus patients since outbreak began.
Covid hospitalizations have been going up every day.
In Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, public health officials have said the number of positive cases in young people is on the rise — the percentage of infections in people under 34 years old has nearly doubled since mid-May.Though there has been little response from the state
We're also spiking in SC and restaurants are closing as well due t positive cases.
Started spiking last week. If I had to guess I'd say Memorial Day weekend with hotels opening back up and tourists flocking into town. No masks, no attempt at social distancing.
My zip code (beach town) went from 5 cases (March-mid May) to 72 cases (mid-May-yesterday).
Since Memorial Day I've noticed that many people are acting as if the virus is gone.

Texas has had record increases in hospitalizations due to the corona virus, where did you get that these are due to medical procedures.
South Carolina same......in a city like Charleston, restaurants are an important part of our economy and they are shutting down. Each day a new one is shutting down. Their staff showing symptoms, testing positive. Side note -- staff aren't over 60 in nursing homes.
It's real.
About two weeks ago folks were not wearing masks in grocery stores, they are back after a week of 4 or 5 record setting days.
