Florida has broken the record for coronavirus cases in one day, and it’s not even close. The state recorded 15,300 cases on Saturday. Last week, California reported 11,600+ cases which broke the record set by New York back in April of 11,500+.

Disneyworld has reopened in Orlando, schools will soon reopen for classes five days a week and the Republican National Convention is scheduled for Jacksonville in August. CNN writes:

“In Florida, Rep. Donna Shalala said the virus is still out of control and places like Miami are edging closer to shutting down for a second time.

“It’s out of control across the state because our governor won’t even tell everybody to wear masks. At least in Miami-Dade county, everyone must wear a mask when they’re outside,” she told CNN Saturday night.”This is an American tragedy,” she added.”
