Miami Beach Convention Center is now a Covid 19 hospital!
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronav...3bu-story.html
Formerly the location of the Miami Boat show........is now staging area/hospital for patients!
A South Florida convention center that just two months ago hosted 80,000 Super Bowl revelers is being swiftly retrofitted to house those afflicted by the new coronavirus.
It’s a sign of a frightening new normal on Miami Beach, a cornerstone of South Florida’s tourism industry.
Since the start of the outbreak, the city has swiftly become a nexus of infection state-wide. As of Wednesday morning, its two ZIP codes had 370 documented cases of the virus, according to data from the Florida Department of Health. Only two other ZIP codes in the state — correspondingly roughly to South Miami and Pembroke Pines — have more infections than the northern two-thirds of Miami-Beach.
