New daily virus cases in Florida is lowest since July
AP / Sun Herald ^ | 9/19/2021

Florida reported more than 75,000 cases of COVID-19 over the week, continuing a drop from summer highs when the state battled a fierce surge in infections fueled by the delta variant, according to the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The figures released Friday brought the state's daily average for the week to more than 10,800 cases, though there were 11,275 new cases reported on Friday. A month ago, Florida was averaging more than 21,000 cases a day. The daily average for the past week was the lowest since the end of July.

Despite the decline in new cases, Florida marked a somber milestone in the past week, surpassing 50,000 coronavirus deaths since the pandemic began. As of last Thursday, Florida had 51,240 COVID-19-related deaths.

Epidemiologists say the state’s rates of vaccination has outpaced the national average, but it has not been enough to keep the highly contagious variant at bay because of its outsized population of elderly people and low vaccination rates among younger groups they interact with.

...

Meanwhile, one of central Florida's largest hospital systems transitioned back to normal operations after several weeks of restrictions on elective surgeries and other efforts to conserve resources because of the surge of COVID-19 hospitalizations. AdventHealth's Central Florida Division said the number of COVID-19 patients at its hospitals now stands at 850 people, several hundred patients fewer than earlier this summer.

that “latest studies show that the vaccine gives you better, long lasting immunity”

And yet, after being immunized, i had covid twice (ivermectin my friend), and my CNNazi masked Karen immunized wife says to me, “they say you need to get boosters because the vaccine doesn’t give immunity, just protection.”

Yahh, had the jabs, got the mask virus twice, still have residual inflammation from before infection, and now you want to kill me with More Vaccines . Sure.

Florida has one of the highest vaccine rates in the country, yet, it has the highest hospitalizations?? Seems the vaccine is extremely dangerous.

Some turnaround. Didn’t it say 75,000 cases in the past week?

Considering that just a month ago we had 208,000 cases in a week, I'd say it was a pretty amazing turnaround.

Cases or positive tests?

Who knows?

You can not believe any figures about COVID.

Maybe in 5 years or so, we MIGHT know the truth about COVID, maybe NEVER!

It’s a huge turnaround. I live in Florida and work in a hospital. Of that 75,000 very few will require hospitalization. It’s doing what it did in UK- spike high and fast, drop low and fast.
