Very simply, Miami-Dade county is 13 percent of the Florida population of 22,000,000. it represents 34% of the Covid-19 infections and 28% of the deaths as of today. Infections and deaths are under counted for sure.
If not a hotspot in the some sense, Mayor Gimenez and the Commission should not be running so fast to open in 5 days. Irresponsible people will rush to restaurants, stores and hair salons. Poor social distancing and mask use is prevalent.
More and accelerating deaths will be seen in the country for sure.
