Florida residents can now enjoy restaurants and bars without restrictions, but the mayor of Miami says the state may not be ready for Stage 3

Florida Mayor Francis Suarez told CNN Saturday of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s decision, “I think it will have a huge impact.” Allowing restaurants, bars and other commercial activities to open at full capacity And suspend the fines on all the pending penalties issued for those who fail to abide by Covid-19 restrictions – such as not wearing a mask in public places. “You know, I just don’t know how many people are going to do that now.”

There were nearly 700,000 cases of coronavirus in Florida, and the virus has killed more than 14,000 people in the state, according to what he reported. Data from Johns Hopkins University.

Nationwide, more than 7 million people were infected and 204,497 died.

Suarez said he’s worried that changes in the state are coming as the flu season escalates and schools are preparing for personal learning to start in mid-October.

“In the next two weeks we will see if he is right in his point of view. But if he is wrong about his point of view … it will be very, very, very difficult for him and it will be a very difficult time,” said Suarez, “because it’s in the middle of the flu season.”

There may be a winter hike looming

“You don’t want to go into the fall and winter with the community spreading at that level, because if you do, you’re going to face a tough situation that will be really difficult,” Fauci told JAMA Editor-in-Chief Dr. Howard Bauschner.

Murray said the winter wave may have already begun in Europe.

Murray said: “Cases are exploding there. So we know that they are coming and we expect to hit the United States soon.”

The natural route can be elusive – even with a vaccine

“By the time enough people are vaccinated … so that you can start thinking about maybe getting more things towards normalcy, it is very likely, as I and others have said, that it will be the third quarter or so of 2021.” , “Said Bauschner. “Maybe even in the fourth quarter.”

Meanwhile, Fauci and other top US experts urged to continue observing safety guidelines, wear masks, stay out of crowded places and wash their hands.

These measures can be life-saving.

Julie Parsonet, one of the study authors: “This research clearly confirms that despite the high rates of COVID-19 in the United States, the number of people with antibodies is still low and we are nowhere near achieving herd immunity.” , Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, in a statement.

“In order for an effective vaccine to be approved, we need to ensure that our most vulnerable populations are reached with prevention measures.”
