Data suggest Florida's record-breaking coronavirus days may have been inflated by as much as 30%

The state appears to be posting backlogged cases as if they occurred on the days in question.

Florida health officials appear to have inflated recent record coronavirus case numbers there by as much as 30%, according to an analysis of data released by the state's Department of Health.

U.S. health officials have been warning for several weeks that COVID-19 case trends in Florida are pointing to a possible looming catastrophe as the state records ever-increasing numbers of the disease. After several months of flat infection rates, positive case results in Florida began rising slowly in mid-June before beginning a steep climb near the end of the month.

Deaths in the state have remained largely flat over that time period, leaving experts struggling to explain why surging case rates have not resulted in an uptick in mortality. One possibility, according to data provided by the state itself, is that the new case numbers regularly posted by Florida health officials have been significantly inflated in recent weeks.

'Chart date' vs 'event date'

At issue is how Florida quantifies its COVID-19 data. The state's dashboard presents new cases in a relatively straightforward manner, presenting a bar chart that displays "new cases of residents by day."

the Northeast was just a disaster. It was probably the Italian strain that came to NYC and blasted the whole region.

Oh, that was the Cuomovirus. The chicom bioweapon was deliberately sent into nursing homes to murder the elderly.... by the "Hitler on the Hudson".

Thanks for the link.

Click on “Dashboard” to see the CDC’s interactive charts on excess (more than typical) deaths. It’s great that one can select any state for examination.

Caution, the graph goes back to January 1st 2017. So this year is collapsed on the right side of the graph, making it a somewhat harder to see what is going on.

I won’t put any weight on predicted deaths with Covid-19 until I understand it. But I do understand “actual deaths.”

Selecting “weekly deaths by age group” and “Update Dashboard” gives a view that is easier to take in, as the time scale is now 0 to 26 weeks. For older people, it shows a clear spike and decline, to values that are now below normal.

This is a good tool. I hope the underlying data is good too!

I was willing to sign onto the Cuomo error putting infected into nursing homes, but . . . dammit, it’s more than NYC or NY state. Mass hit hard, too. PA and Maryland smacked around some, too. My theory is Italian folks visited the home country and brought it back. Chinese New Year tradition is a vacation in Italy. They brought it to Italy and the strain changed there from the Wuhan strain.

Regardless, lots of Excess Deaths.

Yeah, this is the way to do the measurements. Cases mean nothing, hospitalizations are administrators finding a way to bill the stimulus package and make up for discretionary surgeries not performed.

But Excess Deaths are hard to deny. That’s real info.

Texas got my attention. Hey never had an early spike and then lockdown based decline. But they have been floating along above normal, accumulating Excess old people Deaths.
Contrasted with Nebraska and Tennessee, where they have negative Excess Deaths.

We’re going to know much more in about 2 weeks.

Downloaded the database into a sqlite and the numbers are smoother but they do trend upward based on what they are calling the eventdate as opposed to the chartdate.

lots of Excess Deaths.

Mostly in RAT states, so they can lower their "overhead" by killing off the dependent old people, and cash in on the covidbucks for every CV "death".

(They're RATs.....of course they're cooking the books)
