As the number of coronavirus cases in the state of Florida continues to increase, Miami-Dade County announced that it's closing all beaches for the July 4 holiday weekend.

5:40 a.m.: HHS 'actively working' on the idea of group testing

“HHS is actively working with a number of collaborators to validate pooling so that it can be used generally as a technique,” HHS said in a statement to ABC News. One issue with contact tracing for COVID-19, Fauci said, is that there are too many asymptomatic people, which means you can't identify them if they don't have symptoms. Fauci also said since many people don't trust the government, people are not answering contact tracing calls.As the number of coronavirus cases in the state of Florida continues to increase, Miami-Dade County announced that it's closing all beaches for the July 4 holiday weekend.

"As we continue to see more COVID-19 positive test results among young adults and rising hospitalizations, I have decided that the only prudent thing to do to tamp down this recent uptick is to crack down on recreational activities that put our overall community at higher risk," Gimenez said in a statement Friday.

what do these politicians not GET? people are OVER it. the weather is beautiful and the mindset is “screw it, if i get sick a couple weeks, i get sick” the only way we can combat this at this point, without a vaccine, is herd immunity. we will all get it eventually anyway.

Thank You .. people still complaining after a huge surge, don’t know what to say ..

I would love to see someone or a media outlet, like biased , give us a report on the number of RECOVERIES. I have a suspicion that the number of recoveries exceeds the number of reported cases. Can’t Johns Hopkins, the CDC, or ABC be honest with us. I know its bad, but . . .

Why does anyone pay taxes when your government does this?

But protesting and rioting doesn’t cause increases. Only going to the beach. What a bunch of bull.

Beaches should of never been open

Go protest the beach closure at the beach, it will be a protest after all, protected under the 1st amendment.

Plan *B* 😷

Good for them!

It’s time for shelter in place for Texas, Arizona and Florida... before we become NYC chaos.

Unbelievable that this is so bad! Should have not rushed to open! NY was the example to follow with Governor Cuomo’s lead!

The death toll from covid doesn’t even warrant a conversation anymore .006% of the population. 2 times that amount blow there heads off every year and no one cares! It’s just barely more deaths than drowning! Drowning? Like just swim that’s all you have to do!

Oh my gosh. That’s ridiculous. It’s time for US to have an uprising against crap like this

Dumpy beach anyways...

While it's a great idea, it will be impossible to enforce, because you can't fix stupid

How long do antibodies stay in body? If it was in China in Oct it was already here also! ABC report and look for Truth! More cases & less deaths 😃 Thats good! Fatality rate very low and you & every media source but Fox are pushing nothing but fear! 🥺

Closing the outdoors.....

Ok, but you're probably not getting the virus at the beach.

If the protests come back are you going to shut them down?

3400 deaths out of 22 million people you democrats are nuts. You watch after Biden wins how fast the Pandemic is over.

I stay home an drink my beer have fun all by myself , I hate crowds

Communism strikes again

Have a protest on the beach because the scum elected officials have no problems with protesters. God will not let the unjust go without punishment

The beaches opened too early and with deadly results....no distancing no masks...massive amounts of people....

Stay home and celebrate with your family. I always do Hate crowds.

What!? I thought it was only one person!

That’s right. Make them stay in their house where the air recirculates like it happened in the NY nursing homes. Killing Americans state by state.

imagine how quickly we could have closed off EpsteinIsland beaches if you didn’t coverup the story outing him Think about the children you allowed to be raped during the years that followed? Epstein EpsteinCoverup

It will be too late by then. The virus has no time limit.

The right thing to do, but too little and too late.

There were 9 deaths and 750 new cases in the entire USA.

Who cares about the Corona virus!!!! Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence is a worse disease that any other!!!

When it happened to GeorgeFloyd the whole world stood up for him. When a much more brutality happened in India where 2 common men Jayaraj who is 59 years old and his son Fennix 31 arrested, brutally beaten, sexually tortured and murdered in lockup. JUSTICEFORJAYARAJANDBENNIX

Ppl will still go, can't lock up 30k ppl

FLOversight

Does the RNC know this

No Alcohol consumption at Florida Bars Again Now coronavirus DeSantisResign Florida

Fake News. Deaths down.

Everyone knows the rioting is causing the spike

It's amazing how cases just passively 'continue to increase' without cause or reason. As the number of awful headlines rises on ABC, people turn to hamsters for more insightful analysis. Nobody to blame. The bad headlines just RISE.

I don’t have a gag reflex

Media is malicious.

So now there will be ACTUAL riots from spoiled brats who can't go to the beach. We have become a nation of ME ME ME!

But I thought Florida called the virus a hoax? 🤷🏻‍♂️

SafetyMentalst A large majority of people have given up on the virus, the government needed to come together and educate people sooner. Closed beach means nothing (perhaps worse) they will gather in homes

according to those anti-masker-momma it's a crime against humanity to restrict movement

Not so long ago...very bad decisions were made.

Are they closing/shutting down riots/protests Or Are they just shutting down recreation/life to give more attention to riots so MSM can promote division

Tough decisions require resolute leaders. It's why people elect leaders that can make decisions that might not be initially popular but so important in hindsight.

Bummer !! Guess you all should of slowed down on opening and follow guidelines !!!

Good move

Good make America grow up. One way only to defeat virus. Lock down.

Great decision. After everyone will an opportunity to go, if we still alive.

Florida needs to go hard and fast to stop the spread. Each day with small moves like this is costing more lives.

Closing the beaches on July 4th? I thought outdoor gatherings were relatively safe against covid spread.
