My recall is this is semi bogus. Florida counts much the same way the CDC Excess Deaths are counted. Meaning, they don’t seek accuracy each day. The data trickles in.
Excess Deaths take 3 weeks to arrive. So the recent 7 day numbers are not useful.
Florida is declining cases and deaths, but the spectacular numbers are mostly propaganda. Most states are doing well right now, just as they did in February and March.
That explains why Don Lemon vacationed there.
You're not seeing the forest through the trees.
Yeah, it’s almost like the virus does whatever it wants, regardless of how technocrats try to control it.

au contraire
He called the numbers “semi-bogus”, not bogus—
I think there is a good chance that if one could compare apples with apples Florida would be doing very well still, but the numbers are something akin to repeatedly asking 50 different people how many times they inhaled the previous day. After two years the results may or may not be more accurate depending on what strategies the people have developed and what numbers are incentivized. They begin wildly wrong and end wildly wrong (unless getting within 2 orders of magnitude is considered accurate). Comparing is close to a fool’s errand.
Personally I like the measure of excess deaths to tell if anything is likely going on—but which are COVID deaths, which biproducts of lockdown deaths, and then other upticks?
Burned itself out....Herd immunity....
Make America Florida Again
FYI Ed’s have turned down for all age groups since the covid peak of about a month ago. There have been no lockdowns over that timeframe, so ED’s are measuring virus.
Of considerable note, the surge and peak of Sept and Oct do not align with Delta’s timeline, which achieved 90%+ in June. No reason there should have been a 6 week delay in death count surge. So odds look pretty good the virus did its surge regardless of Delta.
That’s because the governor is a racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe, anti-Semitic, lactose intolerant, mass murderer, of course. He made a deal with the Devil to shield his state from Covid so that he can become POTUS./s
and a science denier...
Oh, yes. If he weren’t, wtf would he be doing in Florida, which is so flat and close to sea level. He’d be heading for the hills and telling his constituents “so long, Sammy. I’ll see you in Miami—NOT!”
florida has hills...
they’re commonly known as landfills... 😁...
Hope Florida is counting “cases” properly, i.e., without including positive tested with no symptoms or positive tested that are really colds or flu.
RE: positive tested that are really colds or flu.
Don’t the standard tests differentiate Covid from colds or flu?
If not, how many percent were found to be false positives in the recent past?
... or freeway overpasses.
The PCR tests don't differentiate WuFlu from a grapefruit. The "cases" and deaths based on the PCR reported over the past year and a half are basically meaningless.
Case rates of course are not the greatest measure for this pandemic, kudos to Florida. While New York continues to keep citizens in lock down.
