The Florida Department of Health reported 8,942 new coronavirus cases on Friday, shattering the record of 5,508 reported on Wednesday.
A couple sit on the intracoastal waterway as sun-seekers return to the beach during a phased reopening from measures taken to slow the spread of coronavirus disease , in St. Pete Beach, Florida, U.S. May 4, 2020.The Florida Department of Health reported 8,942 new cases of coronavirus on Friday, shattering the record single-day spike of 5,508 reported on Wednesday.
When asked on Thursday about Florida's reopening, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state doesn't have plans for continuing its step-by-step reopening. He added that the state "never anticipated" to continue moving forward at this point.
My opinion? This is an over exaggerated virus. Most people are not being affected, and the mortality rate is low.
It’s all nice and fun at the beach until a asymptomatic person coughs or sneezes in the air and the droplets ends up in your mouth, nose, or eyes. Oh and you’re not asymptomatic.
Ok. Now it’s getting serious...
keithbaldrey Many many aged people living in Florida...to be expected..
Impeach DeSantis!
pattmlatimes Pence is on it... Ha.
Any number between 1 and 1000 new cases search on Google. All bullshit
Fear mongering. Irresponsible reporting. Fake news.
Pence & Trump immoral & talk bullshit & lies for their failures. They've ignored virus for weeks & promoted false claims that everything is okay. It is fukg not & they know it. Trump supporting states 's suck cuz they opened & ignored virus. DumpTrump2020 RepublicansforBiden
When the experts warned of re-opening to quickly, Trump called it fear-mongering. Lesson: Stop listening to Trump!
Stop testing so that the number goes down.
dougducey are you listening yet?
How many deaths? Now compare those deaths to previous years. Now you see the light.
This is outrageous!
But RonDeSantisFL was ok with spiking the ball well before the endzone citing that Florida would not be like NY...how is that humble tasting?
Everyone Please stay HOME!!!
Why isn’t Trump going to Mar a Lago? 😂😂
Cases mean nothing. Especially now that antibody test are being included. It’s 99% recovery. Talk about death rates.
Ban US Travel to other countries. This is reckless.
Does Florida have a governor? Or just a trump lackey who does only what he is told?
I'm sure it's just because they are testing more people. 🙄
This should be surprising to no one as it is a simple case of cause and effect...no government mandated shut down equals uncontrolled COVID contagion.
HOW DARE YOU MESS WITH THE BREATHING SYSTEM THAT GOD GAVE US
'coronavirus cases' Being the operative words, but haveatit financial channel.
NBD. Let’s see how effective the state is in isolating the younger, less vulnerable population from the older, more susceptible population.
MMM Make. Masks. Mandatory.
Initiate lockdown now
Riots are ending, gotta get back to the plandemic hoax. 🤣😅😆
Thank you Red States!
The virus makes the rules, stupid humans.
OfficialRobbieR please stay safe and GTFO!
No wonder Trump’s in New Jersey this weekend.
And the markets shudder yet again ..
