Feeling immortal, these fun-crazed people are finding ways to gather and party even though many bars and nightclubs remain closed as the Sunshine State reopened its economy this month.

And for Florida, which has been eyed as the possible next epicenter, that number reached 8,938 new cases in just one day.

The national number of daily coronavirus case reports reached a new high Friday as well at almost 40,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, and 33 states are currently seeing the number of new cases grow from the week before.

But the governor of Texas, the nation’s second most populous state, “paused” his state’s phased reopening plan and ordered further restrictions on businesses including bars.

“At least in the metro areas we’ve got people wearing masks now, the bars are closed and we’ve got some advocacy coming out of the county judge and the mayor,” he said of Texas.

And following outbreaks after large beach gatherings, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced Friday that he will sign an emergency order Saturday to close all beaches in the county for the Fourth of July weekend.

But the actual number of people who have been infected is likely 10 times as high.

Antibody tests, which examine a person’s blood for signs the immune system responded to an infection, show more than 20 million people have been infected — most without knowing it, said Dr.

But even with the number that high, only between 5% and 8% of Americans have been infected with the coronavirus, with the numbers varying by region.

Mild obesity, moderate to severe asthma, pregnant women and those cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the CDC said.
