Infectious disease specialist: Florida 'heading a million miles an hour in the wrong direction'

An infectious disease specialist is warning that Florida is "heading a million miles an hours in the wrong direction" on its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Right now, we are heading a million miles an hour in the wrong direction," Dr. Aileen Marty, an expert who helped write Miami-Dade's reopening rules, told "CBS This Morning."

She added, however, that people are not properly following the rules and it's playing a role in rising cases of COVID-19 in the area.

"It's absolutely the saddest thing, the most unnecessary situation that we're finding ourselves in," Marty said. "And it's behaviorally driven."

Trump and DeSantis have tacitly given people permission to ignore rules and safeguards. People respond to firm leadership and they will follow good examples, but Trump and DeSantis failed miserably. They have created this disaster, it's their responsibility.
