Florida surpassed 500,000 coronavirus cases Wednesday as testing ramped up following a temporary shutdown of some sites because of Tropical Storm Isaias, state officials said.

A long line of cars waited outside Hark Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Wednesday morning for a coronavirus testing site to reopen after being closed because of the storm.

The number of people treated in hospitals statewide for the coronavirus continued a two-week decline, with 7,622 patients late Wednesday morning -- a decrease of 175 from the previous day and down from highs of 9,500 two weeks ago.Also Wednesday, the Florida Association of Counties announced that a county commissioner in Liberty County, 75-year-old Dexter Barber, has died from the coronavirus. The organization said Barber is the first county commissioner in Florida to die from the disease.

The Hard Rock site, which is now offering antigen testing, briefly shut down Wednesday because of lightning in the area. Testing resumed once the weather cleared. "Obviously if you are somebody that is symptomatic and you don't get your result back for 7 days that is not helpful. For asymptomatic test takers, if it takes 7 days then the test is basically useless at that time," DeSantis said at a news conference.

That's good closer to herd immunity all that maters is deaths

Who cares about positive tests.....watch the deaths. We now know old people and respiratory disease ridden people, stay the fuck home and isolate. Everyone else get on with life. Leronlimab from $CYDY Cytodyn takes care of the rest of you. Vaccine and antibodies are bullshit
