With more than half a million cases and over 9,000 deaths, Florida ranks second in the US in total cases behind California, making it an ideal place to carry out the trials. That has led to a flurry of activity at the RCA, a private center carrying out clinical trials in Hollywood, 25 miles (40kms) north of Miami.
