“In Florida there has been this ongoing controversy about the severity of the coronavirus crisis,” Khan said. “There has been a politicization of the issue of wearing masks. This should never have happened, and now we’re seeing the results.”
Overnight, Florida reported 4,155 new cases and 91 deaths. The total number of cases as of Monday was 532,806, and the statewide death toll was 8,314 and rising, according to theIn terms of the sheer number of COVID-19 cases, Florida was just behind California, which leads the nation with 560,159, the NBC News figures show.
Five states top Florida in the total number of COVID-19 related deaths: New York , New Jersey , California , Texas and Massachusetts . The Northeastern states logged most of their cases and deaths in the early days of the pandemic, when public health officials were still struggling to find a way of dealing with the deadly new virus and giving conflicting — and often confusing — information on whether people should be wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday reported that out of 54,002 tests reported Sunday, just 476 were positive — less than 1 percent of the total. And on Friday,By contrast, Florida, Texas and other Southern states like Louisiana and Mississippi started experiencing a surge of new cases and deaths after they — at the urging of President Donald Trump — began reopening in May just as the coronavirus was starting to crest.
Keeping Florida......... florida

155 likes. It’s clear nobody trusts your reports anymore...or the intended hysteria you wish to try to push. Now we just laugh at you.
NBC News is the enemy of the people. This is just fear mongering and nothing else.

Fear Porn
Congratulations to Florida and their Governor.
The reported cases today are less then they were in June so Florida is back on track downward and the crisis is abating. Hospitalizations lag behind as do deaths. But your fake news headline is INACCURATE and alarmist.
Wait, what, hey Trump said just the opposite a couple hours ago. Someone is lying. I'm telling....
Child stats spike RIGHT BEFORE school.. Weird. Seems like a narrative. PLANDEMIC
Now do the death rate compared to New York. Nowhere close. But keep spreading fear porn.
florida
So sad. The more it spreads the worse the fallout will be for America.
'We're making it up as we go along': how Trump's America failed the Covid19 test
Trumps killing his base. Whooops.
It’s almost like the left likes to see people dying
NBC you don't gotta juice the headline with ' making it one of the biggest coronavirus hot spots' , we get it, and have gotten it, Trump and DeSantis are murdering the State of Florida
Well you certainly wouldn’t know it listening to Trump.
So is this how we are doing 'fine' with this pandemic? Asking for the rest of Americans SharonLand8063
904Mae Yeehaw! Let's get these schools open y'all!
Yay us!
But let's open the schools!!
Because Florida keeps electing moronic males of the Repugnant Party.
PaHouseDems
Oh GovRonDeSantis and realDonaldTrump are doing such a good job. Pathetic
Recovery rate? 99% FYI
Open Disney and all parks! Money before life.....
BUT THE BEACH IS GREAT!!!
Way to go DeSatan.
Interesting, seems the exact opposite was reported by other outlets. Any chance the storm resulted in 'discharges' and 'admissions', thus giving cherry picking opportunity. Scroll down to hospitalization in the article.
No surprise. Florida is everything that’s wrong with America

Everyone in sick of racism other than COVID... From 17 April I'm struggling to save all with my herbal medicine for COVID which controls the formation of new corona virions from 18hours and regenerate T cells and B cells. After this much loss, no one here to support Me....
Change the title of the story . 100,000 children DID NOT DIE. They contracted the virus. Be better than the Trump Administration. Report accurately please.
investtoelectil Fix the headline, news! 100,000 children were tested positive for Covid!
check your headlines! Pretty 100,00 kids did not die in July.
Sure
💔🥺
This is a lie. I live in Florida.
Is this the new hanging chad in Florida?
Stupid people who elected a stupid governor. Good luck to y'all.
The good thing is the state isn’t significantly populated by frail old people who would succumb to such an outbreak.
In the world
Dr.Jensen says the AMA is now “encouraging” doctors to over-count coronavirus deaths across the country. Jensen received a 7-page document that showed him how to fill out a death certificate as a “COVID-19 diagnosis” even when there isn’t a lab test confirming the diagnosis.
Wear the masks people,
Problem 1 voting this ass hat in
Let’s play football!
How many more hundreds of days like this until they catch up with all the deaths in New York?
USA COVID-19 stats as of 02:00 PM on August 10, 2020 🦠 Cases 🦠: 5,217,837 (+1,524.0) ☠️ Deaths ☠️: 165,821 (+7.0) Updated since 01:30 PM on August 10, 2020 Do these stats mean anything anymore?
A Florida man, claiming to be the governor, also claims he has everything under control. He lies. He dosent.
I'm confused. This is the data for Florida
Voting in anti-science Republicans? What could possibly go wrong?
Fake
Governor DeathSantis owns 8,252 deaths GovRonDeSantis
DeSantis does not give a damn about his constituents or your granny and papa! Florida 🤷🏽♀️ neither does Trump! coronavirus is Killing more than just African Americans and people of color! It’s killing all races, Democrats, Republicans, Maga & independents! COVID19 VOTE
Ron DeSantis is winning at making Florida the hottest state in America today for the Coronavirus. And he must be so happy because it makes Donald Trump happy that they're killing the people of America at a faster rate in Florida.
But ClayTravis said Florida was fine... FuckingFraud
And the wonderful governor of Florida,DeShameless ignores the facts. The economy is more important than his constituents DeSantisResignNow DeSantisFailedFlorida DeSantisBetrayedFlorida RubioIsComplacent ScottIsComplacent Florida COVID19
If Florida is so bad why is everybody moving and visiting here from Democratic states?! 🤔 Let’s build a wall at the northern border and close the airports! Stay out!
Ummm get ready Sturgis will be next, unfortunately those idiots have left for home to spread it around their community.
Stupid asses everybody in the country has the Corona virus because nobody's coordinating this s*** or checking into it just picking up the numbers and these companies The states are using for the testing they're f****** up on they don't know what they're doing
Eventually, practically everyone will get COVID.
DeSantis can be really proud of the job he did reopening the state. How many people have died needlessly because of red state political decisions in conjunction with the White House. Florida is this what you want your future to look like. Just maybe you should consider a change.
