I just don't get why the media is being dishonest here. Its sad.

Yesterday, OVER 1200 OF THE NEW CASES were in Dade/Broward/Palm Beach counties. This is where the bulk of the cases started and continue to be. The other areas reporting over 100 new cases have LARGE ELDERLY POPULATIONS. The remaining areas of Florida are not - repeat - are not showing high increases. Its primarily HEALTH CARE WORKERS spreading it at this point. Most counties are reporting fewer than 10 new cases a day.

The Florida Department of Health website is your friend.
