Good day of a lockdown back? ‘Two months after reopening, Fla Search to block back down

It ‘been almost six weeks since Michael Beltran and his staff worked feverishly, 20 hours a day days to finally open its restaurants in Miami, after a long crown block again if he had to sit down again with bad news. “I’d look in the eye and say, ‘Listen, we have to close the doors again. She did everything right, but you’re not going to have a job on Wednesday,'” says the chef and restaurant owner, to hear his anger. “It ‘demoralizing and crush the soul. To see restaurants used as a scapegoat here is great when there are so many other things that go wrong. I can not stand it.” This may be the new normal America. Florida, today COVID-19 one of the fastest growing number of cases in the nation is struggling to balance its fresh top of the falls with the cost of reversing the early reopening. Despite predictions that crowds of spring break, a large elderly population and a delay block would make a big hotspot, Florida was largely spared the initial impact of the pandemic, more than 127,000 Americans killed. Since the state came in early May of the block outside President Donald Trump Governor Ron DeSantis praised “did a spectacular job.” One for both men celebrated Florida as a success story. It was not long. A month later, the number of confirmed cases shifted dramatically. While it took until the end of June in Florida from March to reach 100,000 cases, it took only two weeks to double. The number of patients crown of Miami-Dade County filling hospitals has doubled in the past two weeks, more than 1,600. In a race to spread, officials in Miami-Dade temporarily closed the beaches, re-imposed a curfew, and gave a strict countywide making it mandatory to curb face masks. It was not enough. On July 4th, Floridians represented more than one in five new COVID-19 cases in the country. Two days later, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez suddenly announced that restaurants, gyms, short-term rentals and event venues must close again – a dramatic attempt by the false sense of security to break that many Floridians have lived for months . In the resulting confusion, and then to allow push-back public, gyms Gimenez be quickly backed down and a little ‘outdoor dining for further surgery today, a reversal that reopening highlights the difficulty of rolling back without a specific timetable. site restaurants remain closed until the circle a testing rate of 5% achieved positive for people infected with the virus, he said, a rate currently hovers above 22%. “Just on the respect of the public, do not quote clearly worked,” said Miami Commissioner Ken Russell to conclude the decision, many companies back off mid-week to discuss how hospital admissions have increased. “We are at a turning point.” But it is hard to impress the seriousness of the threat to people who have lived for two months longer than the worst is over. Local officials are struggling to roll residents and tourists pushing water parks and restaurants, with young people pleading to take seriously the increase in infections. A new 100-degree day, the police officers to South Beach warnings and handing out masks peeled promptly changed many people in the matter. Boats, clogged the waterways in the July 4th holiday weekend, a bit ‘packed with dozens of partygoers. In Coconut Grove, the lines usually not masked people snaked coffee outdoors, healthy Miami style: with a kiss on the cheek. “We have too many tools in our toolbox to the left, and we will not be forced to take shelter in place for the return, the economically devastatingly demonstrated” Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber warned last week. Florida is the only state in this dilemma. At least 20 other states have to pause their recovery plans or new roll as the increase in hospital admissions. “How do you do a lockdown backwards?” Dr. Aileen asks Marty, an infectious diseases expert at Florida International University, who has worked with officials in Miami-Dade on February mitigation measures. “The situation at the beginning of always bad,” he says, major events such as the Ultra Music Festival in March preclude annulment But she adds: “It ‘been a strange psychological effect on the citizens of Miami … it would be so much going worse if we had not taken these actions, but these things are invisible because we have cleaned up the mess before it began. “Marty and some local officials mixed in some state officials blame for news of Florida by the new emergency orders brush. “We have leaders who refuse to recognize the gravity of the situation is,” he says. More than perhaps any other governor DeSantis has linked his political future to Trump when it comes to dealing with the pandemic. He resisted pressure of a nationwide mandatory mask to give, and repeated the line of the President, that the economic consequences of a prolonged blockade could do more harm than the virus. mentioned in the Oval Office sit-down with Trump at the end of April, some in a state of premature victory lap, the governor boasted that released despite the “draconian orders” in other states “in Florida, did better.” He also pushed back angrily employees from a state early accusations that the data manipulated Florida drum up support for the reopening. “They have a lot of people get in your profession who waxed poetic for weeks about how Florida would be just like New York,” DeSantis, stands pence after, outside the journalists on May 20 ” ‘wait will be two weeks Florida be next. Just like Italy, 2 Wochen.’Nun hell waiting, we have eight weeks away from that and it did not happen! “, Like most of the other states, the finesse of a gradual reopening care and canceled public events in the fall to the debate continued, Florida has made it clear that it was open this summer for the economy. Is expected to Walt Disney World in Orlando, promoted to open its theme parks on 11 Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines in July and again that their ships sail again from the ports of Florida on Aug. 1 would set (has shifted since the September cruise.) . the Republican party announced that it was named after the city of Charlotte, their original choice is to Sic safety measures its 2020 convention in Jacksonville to move that amount would have size limits. the NBA and MSL announced that it would keep the rest of their time in Orlando starting this month. Then there’s the other in Florida, where lines of cars outside drive-through test centers are growing every day. More 3,900 Floridians died, including a 11 year old boy. warn hospitals to be flooded if the cases continue to increase, with 56 intensive care units across the ability reached the state on July 8 and the end is not in sight, many say the new companies closed that they will not be able to provide a continuous rocker between peaks fall time and hastily reopening. “Politicians and so can say that we are close again, to make this right … but then why even start this process?” Beltran, the cook, wonders aloud. “I hope to keep people who are no rules with you happy.”
