An infectious disease specialist is warning that Florida is "heading a million miles an hours in the wrong direction" on its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Right now, we are heading a million miles an hour in the wrong direction," Dr. Aileen Marty, an expert who helped write Miami-Dade's reopening rules, told "CBS This Morning."
She added, however, that people are not properly following the rules and it's playing a role in rising cases of COVID-19 in the area.
"It's absolutely the saddest thing, the most unnecessary situation that we're finding ourselves in," Marty said. "And it's behaviorally driven."
