- Business Insider 20:10July 14, 2020'Pandemonium' in Palm Beach as the ultrawealthy scramble to snap up mansions on the island post-lockdownPalm Beach mansions asking upwards of $70 million are flying off the market, say local real estate agents.
In 2019, 123 single-family homes sold in the area over the course of the entire year. In the second quarter of 2020 alone, 106 single-family homes sold.
Post-lockdown, buyers are looking for more safety and security than ever before: Florida offers many enticing benefits, like tax savings, more space, and warm weather.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Palm Beach real estate agent Sonja Stevens listed a mansion on the island in late May, and within a few days received three offers, including one for the full $19.5 million asking price.
Stevens, of Douglas Elliman, believes that the Palm Beach property — a main house, guest home, and plenty of green space – was especially appealing during the pandemic. She said she received 20 calls the first day it was listed.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderSee Also:A very pink 1980s mansion in an exclusive desert enclave near LA comes with neon light fixtures and a waterfall bar.

- Business Insider 08:01July 11, 2020One step forward, 2 steps back: Harvard's Dr. Thomas Tsai assesses Trump's response to COVID-19, and tells us his fears and hopes about the months aheadDr. Thomas Tsai, of the Harvard Global Health Institute, spoke to Business Insider about where the United States stands in the fight against COVID-19 and President Donald Trump's claim to be leading the world's best response.
"It's as if we are taking one step forward and two steps back," Tsai said of the US response to the pandemic. "We started off with a peak, we settled for a plateau, and we ended up with a mountain range."
"We're breaking records every single day on state-level and national-level positive tests. What that means is that in one to two weeks from now, those record numbers of cases may translate to an increasing number of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and, unfortunately, even fatalities."
Dr. Tsai said President Donald Trump's approach has left much to be desired. "Right now, at the highest peak of cases that we've had, it's also been where the federal government has been most absent, where there has been no White House coronavirus task force briefing."
"This pandemic has clearly shown the failure of a patchwork response and the result of a vacuum in terms of a national coordinated strategy."
He faulted leadership in some states, such as Florida, for being unwilling to close down when necessary.
"Politicians are unwilling to dial things back. They're only willing to sort of keep it from moving forward. Clearly, in the states where the pandemic has gotten out of control, a limited shutdown is needed to prevent hospitals from being overrun."
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Not only are a record number of Americans testing positive for COVID-19, but, contra President Donald Trump's false claim that the US has the lowest mortality rate in the world, more and more of them are dying, even with improvements in care. In the South, former success stories, such as Florida and Texas, are seeing a surge in infections — the consequence, experts say, of reopening their economies without first building up the capacity to test, trace, and quarantine.
Over 131,000 people have now died from COVID-19, which is certainly an undercount, not including those who died without ever being tested, nor those who were unable to get treatment for other disorders as a result of hospitals being overrun by a pandemic. Fourteen states have seen a double-digit increase in their coronavirus mortality rate over the last week, according to a count from The Washington Post, and, by the end of the month, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projects the death toll to be as high as 160,000.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Inside London during COVID-19 lockdownSee Also:How South Florida screwed up its best chance to avoid a surge of COVID-19 casesThe Mayor of Phoenix said she only found out the city was getting a 'significant' federal coronavirus testing site from a tweetA top Tulsa health official said Trump's campaign rally 'more than likely contributed' to the county's surge in coronavirus cases

"We may have to do some of this on our own," Giménez said at the time.
But now the mayor's office tells Business Insider that the county can't act alone after all. It's not sure how many contact tracers are working in Miami-Dade. "It's been difficult getting answers on this," a spokesperson said.
But Daniella Levine Cava, a Miami-Dade County commissioner running to be the next mayor, told Business Insider there's blame to go around.
"We have a president who's been in denial, we have a governor who's minimized the disease, and we have a mayor who is running on the Republican ticket for Congress," Levine Cava said.
Dr. Marissa Levine, a public health expert at the University of South Florida, told Business Insider that contact tracing should have been ramped up months ago.
"Pretty much everything we do with a pandemic, if we do it earlier, we have better outcomes," Levine said. "But it requires good leadership, strong messaging, and good public participation."

Days after reopening barbershops and restaurants, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Giménez pledged to follow up by hiring the contact tracers necessary — up to 1,000 people who would track every confirmed COVID-19 patient's interactions with others — to ensure that a flattened curve did not immediately become a jagged spike.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ignored questions about when he would release the data, the Miami Herald reported. The Florida Department of Health reported 7,361 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the rate of positive tests spiking to over 19%. The surge has been linked to DeSantis' early decision to reopen bars, restaurants, and other indoor facilities. "When everything started to open up and ease up, then our volume picked up," Dr. Mark Supino, a physician at Jackson Health System in Miami, told Business Insider last week.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Inside London during COVID-19 lockdownSee Also:Fauci says the emphasis on lower coronavirus death rate, often touted by Trump, promotes a 'false narrative'An immuno-compromised 17-year-old attended a church's coronavirus 'release' party with dozens of children and died days later from the diseaseICE says international students taking online courses have to transfer or leave the US, as dozens of schools shift to remote learning in response to COVID-19

As coronavirus cases in the US surge, one of the most important metrics to track a region's outbreak is its positivity rate: the share of tests that come back positive.
The WHO recommends stay-at-home orders if more than 5% of a region's tests come back positive over two weeks.
But 28 states have positivity rates above that threshold.

President Donald Trump has suggested that the higher numbers are simply the product of increased testing, since more widely available diagnostic testing leads more cases to be caught and confirmed.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Can you get the coronavirus twice?See Also:Harvard is keeping classes online this fall, placing it among the 8% of US colleges planning to do so.

She died of coronavirus on June 23.
The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner issued a report saying that Carsyn attended a church event on June 10 with nearly 100 other children where she did not wear a mask, and where social distancing rules weren't enforced.
She began to feel sick a few days later. Her parents treated her with azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, and oxygen at home before taking her to the hospital, according to the medical examiner's report.
Rebekah Jones, a data scientist who was fired for her unwillingness to falsify Florida's COVID-19 statistics, shared this report on Twitter and accused the girl's mother, Carole Brunton Davis, of being "reckless" and "intentionally" exposing the "immuno-compromised" Carsyn to COVID-19.
The First Assembly of God in Fort Myers, the church where Davis was active, told Insider it followed Florida's rules and guidelines.
