The City of Miami, Florida has experienced its highest daily death toll from the coronavirus (Covid-19). Miami recorded 186 deaths yesterday. It brings the statewide death toll to 6,000. Florida also has a whopping 441,977 coronavirus cases, which is a significant amount for one state. The numbers are actually more grim, but are being suppressed by the governor's office (as written about in local newspapers).

Initially, Miami was doing well in containing coronavirus cases and had a low death rate. However, since the reopening, tourists have come from all over the state and country to go to the beaches and bars, after the national 3-month lockdown, upon realizing the city had a low infection and death rate.

The Major League Baseball team the Miami Marlins announced 15 of its athletes have contracted the coronavirus. 18 anesthesiologists from the University of Florida have contracted the coronavirus after a party. Across the state hospital employees have died from the coronavirus, which they are thought to have contracted on the job.

Congress gave U.S. states funds to assist with the coronavirus outbreak. Florida received $1 billion in federal funding. However, a political dispute has broken out in Miami regarding how the funds should be spent. A number of municipalities in Miami fear they will not receive the money due to them. There is talk of lawsuits being filed. It proves a point I previously made on this site.

Having grown up in the City of Miami since age nine, I can attest that there has been a money issue in the local government for decades. Years ago I stated on this site that Miami has a corruption problem regarding money not going to the right places to develop the city (housing) and help the poor (Financial Imbalances In The State Of Florida Impacts Residents Quality Of Life). The black neighborhoods routinely get shafted with a lack of funding. The new legal dispute this week proves my previous point in the aforementioned 2018 article.

Not long after, new U.S. Housing Secretary, Ben Carson, visited the City of Miami. I must state, I have seen a lot of new homes, condos and apartments being built in the city, and thankfully this time many are also in black neighborhoods, such as Miami Gardens. Mayor Oliver G. Gilbert III deserves a lot of credit as well. Other places such as Liberty City have new developments being built as well. It's the most new construction I've seen in black neighborhoods since I've been here.
