Florida sees its largest increase in single-day COVID-19 hospitalizations

Hospitalizations and deaths are rising in Florida as the state's coronavirus outbreak hits hospitals hard. Deaths and hospitalizations are also rising in several states, while the director of the CDC warns the worst may still be ahead. David Begnaud reports.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs. The broadcast has earned a prestigious Peabody Award, a Polk Award, four News & Documentary Emmys, three Daytime Emmys and the 2017 Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Newscast. The broadcast was also honored with an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award as part of CBS News division-wide coverage of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Wake up 3:22 none of the monitors are on and I think those are manequins

[JGrant]

You can blame the Government but the Public aren’t exactly innocent either

After New York, if you let your state hit record highs, it's because you're reaching for them.

[Throughthelurkinglass]

Ever notice its always Florida, wake up sheeple.

[TRUTHSEEKER-ehlz]

I never thought that i would see this country so disorganized. Real or fake pandemic this country is not prepared. How is that possible in 2020?

[EmilyRTurk]

If it’s taking 7-8 days in most cases to get results back, these daily high averages don’t even reflect the number of actual positive tests. So scary!

[shanewilliams]

Stop it on 3:22 those are mannequins in the hospital beds!!

[Gloriavalery]

“Almost nobody is in the same page”. How many pages are there???

[sahdi]

More cases after increased testing will help reveal how low the actual mortality rate is. Already its decreased dramatically..even with the padded "suspected" cases.

[moonbear]

I see a lot of Floridians in the comments. 😂😂

[jessicabranch]

Were those mannequins in the hospital beds around the 3:15-3:25 mark?

You should always believe the politician - they hardly ever lie

[stlion]

Soon number of death will catch up with the number of infection. Please take this virus seriously. Protect yourself by doing the routine and you save others too.Solidarity, solidarity !

[marshapelo]

People from Florida is travelling to New York, then New York is going to get it again. The virus yo-yo effect between the states.

[urallineed]

I mean per Trump if we just stopped testing our numbers would be lower

[toughgirl]

Yeh but they never tell you the numbers of recovery.

[ohmy]

Big money people telling the governor to get tough on The ‘rona. Time to bow down

[muffinstuffin]

Wow. Sounds REALLY bad and scary.

Until you give it some

Like how the hospitals in Florida are only at 5% capacity right now.

The whole point of stay at home and social distancing is to achieve herd immunity without overcrowding the hospital system, right? Keep that mortality rate down?

Florida has over 2/3 the number of confirmed cases as NY.
Yet they have a death count that's 7X lower than NY.

We should all be looking at Florida as the shining example of what to do right.

One day when all of you people have to face judgment and you have to explain why you lied to millions of people

[kevg]

How are the people tolerating this...here in Ireland we had 32 cases yesterday in a population of 5 million and the amount of people demanding we slow down the reopenings...
