Florida, with 120, was one of the five states accounting for more than half of Thursday's reported fatalities, an NBC News analysis revealed.
Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have set another unwanted record with more than 63,200 new cases of coronavirus on Thursday,That dismal new figure is higher than 56,667 new cases that NBC News, which has been compilingBut all that awful arithmetic was yet another reminder that the plague that President Donald Trump just a week ago predicted wouldcontinues to spread fast, especially in states like Texas, Florida and Arizona which reopened early and are now paying a steep price.
"I gotta tell you, I think the numbers are going to look worse as we go into next week," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott toldAbbott, a Republican and Trump ally, has taken flak for reopening Texas for business as the number of coronavirus cases started to climb and Texas needs to reimpose another stay-at-home, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat whose district includes"We opened a government here in Texas, too quickly," Lee told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell."It was May 1st. We had not followed the CDC guidelines. Certainly we’re now working as a team. I appreciate what the state government is trying to do, Andrea, but we have 10,000 people in the hospital beds this week. We have people dying every day.
We are in the heights of the pandemic. To open disneyworld this weekend would be crazy!
Can y'all just secede for a year 😅
Love all the non Florida people talking like they know what’s actually going on down here 😂
What part of pandemic do these ppl not understand?
Crazy.
Sure doesn’t look like the end of the queue.
Cool! Wonder if the refrigerated body trucks will have Mickey on them.
Save our kids - Disney is insane
Do you have to sign a waiver on the way in? Crazy they are opening moronic if you attend.
Isn't standing in line to get on a ride, schmooshed together, bad enough in normal times, let alone add 6' spacing and making the possibility you may get to 2 attractions before closing time?
Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

Case and point why America is f'ed
Don't reopen
What could possibly go wrong?!
When you hear someone say record cases, know you are being manipulated. They are not sick. These are healthy people that they are testing for 1 of the numerous viruses we all have just to make you panic.
Which is why we cancelled our trip.
And I'm sure Disney will be crowed
A truly sad and disgusting fact is that some people will go there. They'll pay Disney to get sick and risk getting life-long health issues, die, or kill others.
Something wrong with that thinking.
Nothing says “delusional” like getting sick from the theme park and dying for capitalism.
So irresponsible of Disney just mind-boggling.
DisneyParks If you do this, you are complicit in the deaths of your workers and customers.
Let them open every business, school or whatever, it is up to us if we will go or stay home! I for one will keep my family safe at home!
Disney your going to have to close soon.
This is utter lunacy. Why is Disney going into the business of spreading Covid in a state that is already way beyond a hot spot? I’d quote the remaining hospital bed capacity for the concerned county except RonDeSantisFL isn’t allowing hospital capacity figures to be released.
This makes no sense at all.
This is madness
Can't believe it's spreading
In other news, Minnie Mouse gives Mickey a 'time out' for coughing in her face after she asked him to wear a mask before making out like a mouse.
What a sad sad joke
at this point we deserve everything we’re about to get.
Great less people voting republican!
Shit is there anyone left to go to Disney!? The whole State of Florida is sick or dead, thanks to DeSantis.
Wake up Disney! FL is out of control
Cancel Disney?
Now do California.
Fake numbers!
Ok.
I love Walt Disney World. Have been there 5 times over my 53 yrs on this earth and my last visit was about 15 years ago. I would give anything to go back... but they could literally offer me a free month with everything included and there's a 99% chance I would say no thanks.
irresponsible disney.... worshipping wall st... not concerned with you or your family at all....
Yea the virus is soooo bad that another huge corporation can open up and make $$$$$$. Wake up sheep! You are being played!!
There just aren't any words for the level of stupid being displayed daily in parts of the US. Proof that inbreeding has consequences.
Everyone is required to wear masks. Since masks work so well...there is no problem here!!!!!
But if they loot, break stuff, spray paint gaudy slogans and block traffic, its ok to gather.
Walt Disney was racist...
You’ve got to hand it to parents who brings their kids into a state with out of control virus outbreaks just to meet Mickey.
They really don't care at all, don't they?
Nah they be good
Save a life, stay home!
Blessed people, please welcome to this live Broadcast if you don't mind.
What is it with nancypelosi and lame democrats running the state of California? Can’t get their citizens to wear masks and spiking Covid all over the place. What is wrong with them?
