Miami Mayor Asks Trump to Suspend Flights from Coronavirus Hotspots

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has asked U.S. President Donald Trump to immediately suspend flights from international and domestic COVID-19 hotspots to Miami International Airport in an attempt to keep Miami residents safe.

Suarez also asked that federal authorities help prioritize flights into and out of Miami that assist with the movement of medical supplies, food and personal protective equipment to fight the virus.

In the letter, Suarez wrote, "We are at war with a silent, deadly and merciless enemy. I have personally witnessed its speed, its spread and its lethality among my residents in Miami, and now in the State of Florida... I believe we need to wield our power in a smart, targeted way."

The mayor asked Trump to use his "authority under existing federal law" to direct the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out his request as soon as possible.

What alternate reality does this mayor live in? Current stats show Florida as the state with the 6th highest number of cases of Coronavirus, 9585. Miami-Dade county has about a third of those.
