It had been barely six weeks since Michael Beltran and his staff reopened his Miami restaurants when he had to sit them down again and tell them the bad news.【C1】________all their efforts, 20-hour days to reorganize the spaces for new guidelines amid the【C2】________to reopen, Beltran was now being forced to close again. "I had to look them in the eye and say, ’You did everything right, but you’re not going to have a job on Wednesday,"’ says the chef and restaurant owner. "It’s heart-breaking."
Florida, which now has one of the fastest-growing COVID-19 cases in the nation, is struggling to【C3】________its fresh spike with the cost of reclosing. In the early months of the crisis, things had looked good. Despite【C4】________that spring-break crowds, a large elderly population and a delayed lockdown would make it a major hot spot, Florida was【C5】________the worst of the pandemic that has killed many Americans. As the state came out of lockdown in early May, President Donald Trump repeatedly praised its governor, Ron DeSantis, saying he was doing a【C6】________job". A month later, the number of【C7】________cases spiked dramatically. The number of coronavirus patients filling Miami-Dade County’s hospitals has doubled in the past two weeks. On July 4, Floridians【C8】________more than a fifth of all new COVID-19 cases in the country. In a rush to stop the spread, officials【C9】________ closed beaches, strengthened curfews (宵禁) and issued a county-wide required mask order in Miami-Dade, but it wasn’t enough. On July 6, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez abruptly announced that restaurants, gyms and other places would have to shut back down again, a sudden【C11】________to break through the false【C10】________of security that many Floridians have lived with for months.
However, hours later, he modified the order to allow some outdoor dining. "Simply relying on public compliance was clearly not working," says Miami Commissioner Ken Russell. But it’s hard to impress the【C12】________of the danger on those who have been living as if the worst has passed. Local officials are still struggling to【C13】________residents and tourists to take the surge of infections seriously. On a recent, near 100°F day, police officers on South Beach 【C14】________between issuing warnings and handing out masks, which many people quickly took off. Boats crowded the waterways over the July 4 holiday weekend, some packed with dozens of people. In the Coconut Grove neighborhood, lines of people, many unmasked, snacked by outdoor cafes, greeting one another in Miami-style: with a cheek kiss.
Florida isn’t the only state in this harsh situation. At least 20 other states have had to pause their reopening plans as【C15】________rise. "How do you do a lockdown backwards?" asks Dr. Aileen Marty, an infectious-disease expert at Florida International University. Marty and some local officials partly blame state officials’ mixed messaging for Floridians’ overlooking the new emergency orders. "We’ve got leaders that refuse to【C16】________how serious this is," she says. More than perhaps any other governor, DeSantis has tied his political future to Trump’s when it comes to the handling of the pandemic. He has【C17】________pressure to issue a statewide required mask order, and adopted the President’s line that the economic damage of a long-time lockdown could do more harm than the virus. He has angrily responded to allegations from a former state employee that Florida【C18】________data to support reopening.
At an Oval Office sit-down with Trump in late April that some in the state warned was a premature victory tour, he boasted that despite the "draconian orders (严酷的法令)" issued in other states, "Florida has done better." That declaration hasn’t been carried out well enough. In Miami, the lines of cars outside drive-through testing centers are growing. Hospitals warn that they will be full of victims if cases continue to rise: some 56 ICUs across the state were projected to reach【C19】________on July 8. And with no end【C20】________many newly shuttered businesses say they won’t be able to bear an ongoing see-saw (拉锯战) between case spikes and hasty reopenings. "Why even start this process?" Beltran, the chef, wonders aloud. "I hope those people that didn’t abide by rules are happy with themselves."
