Not that I’m aware of, but possibly? I’m not in fear mode and things are fine in the Keys, so I’m not keeping up with everything.
I know that 25% of the cases in Florida are in Dade County, so I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s happening there.
The rest of the state really isn’t doing that bad actually.

Do you dispute this?
A causal link between the admission policy and infections/fatalities would be supported through a direct link in timing between the two, meaning that if admission of patients into nursing homes caused infection—and by extension mortality— the time interval between the admission and mortality curves would be consistent with the expected interval between infection and death. However, the peak date COVID-positive residents entered nursing homes occurred on April 14, 2020, a week after peak mortality in New York’s nursing homes occurred on April8, 2020. If admissions were driving fatalities, the order of the peak fatalities and peak admissions would have been reversed.

The surge in new infections among residents at nursing homes and assisted facilities rose by 153% or 2,868 cases between June 30 and July 20, while the increase among staff rose 126% or 3,784 cases.
