A critical care nurse in Miami, Florida, tells ABC's VictorOquendo 'with this current wave of COVID... the patients seem to be way more critical than the first wave.'

since reopening the economy and Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has faced significant criticism for his handling of the pandemic since the outbreak began.

People wait for a health assessment check-in before entering Jackson Memorial Hospital, as Miami-Dade County eases some of the lockdown measures put in place during the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Miami, June 18, 2020.Carlos Migoya, Jackson Memorial's CEO, said the"warning signs" came around June as people started changing their behaviors.

Abbo and Spaulding both noted a common trend in the past few weeks: Younger people are getting sick. Both have seen an uptick in younger patients, a disproportionate impact on minority patients and more patients with preexisting conditions. "Just because you might be in your 20s, 30s and 40s, you could still come down with some pretty serious symptoms that require a longer term hospitalization," Abbo added."This pandemic is like when HIV started when people didn't know and infecting others," said Abbo."People were thinking, 'I don't have symptoms.' If we don't do something, this could have significant transmission.

Migoya doesn't believe the community is entirely to blame for the rise in cases, saying people in lower-income communities have no choice but to leave their homes to go to work. "The young person gets infected, they come home and they infect the mother or the grandmother," said Migoya."And that's where the challenges start coming."

VictorOquendo This isn’t a second wave. We never got out of the first wave. Florida tried to open open too early and with Trump and right wing nut jobs doing a good job of convincing their low information disciples that wearing a mask is some kind of affront to your freedom it’s ugly out there

Wait until 2 weeks from now...

Walgreens forcing employees tested positive to come back work after 10 days , even if they still showing symptoms !!!!! Shame on Walgreens ... making more employees and their patients sick 😡😡😡😡

VictorOquendo Death rate won't increase for awhile, as the nurse said, patients are coming in in critical conditions, meaning most of them are in quarantine until they can't breath or show up with other health issues like stroke...

TheMendozaWoman VictorOquendo Needs more black rioting and looting.

VictorOquendo Haha that’s not what several other Miami area doctors have said. They’ve said pthey are younger and healthy in and out of hospital. But they don’t report that.

VictorOquendo The patients are more critical and yet the death rate continues to fall. Hmm something doesn't sound right about that
