It’s Wednesday, August 5th and here are today’s top headlines from the newsroom of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. I’m Kristie McIntyre. Florida on Tuesday got another stark reminder of how the coronavirus pandemic has been so deadly — another 247 fatalities were reported. The state confirmed that 7,526 people have died from COVID-19 complications to date. The latest daily total is not reflective of deaths in the past 24 hours, but rather recent weeks.
