CONVID-19 CONVERSATION: Miami-Dade County Big Share of Infections and Deaths

Miami-Dade County, which includes dozens of municipalities including the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Homestead, Hialeah, among others, has 13% of Florida’s population and 34% of proven Covid-19 infections and 28% of the state’s deaths.

Miami-Dade County is rushing to open and we will wait to see the consequences some 14 days in the future because of the current, recognized lack of extensive testing, tracing and isolation measures.

We are waiting for a final decision by the University of Miami on the Fall Semester on the manner and return of students. So far the information from the university has been a little ambiguous.
