CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/FLORIDA: “The rate of positive [coronavirus] cases in Florida has now declined. It’s declining. And hospitalizations are declining in most places, and pretty steadily. And we think there’s going to be a big decline starting very soon.
There is currently over 21 percent inpatient hospital bed capacity available. So there’s plenty of bed capacity. And over 16 percent ICU capacity available, and some of that’s going to be emptying out as people get better. They do get better and they get better pretty fast.”
