Parts of the Southeast could be the next epicenter of the coronavirus contagion in the United States, according to Harvard Global Health Institute Director Dr. Ashish Jha. "I'm looking at the numbers and it's making me really worried," Jha told "Bill Hemmer Reports" Monday of the number of cases in Georgia, Florida and Louisiana. As of Monday morning, Florida had recorded 5,473 cases of COVID-19 and 63 deaths. As of Monday morning, Louisiana had recorded 4,025 COVID-19 cases and 185 deaths, while Georgia had recorded 2,809 cases and 87 deaths. Jha also told host Bill Hemmer that he was glad that President Trump had extended the federal coronavirus mitigation guidelines through April 30, calling it a "fact-based, science-based decision."
