The CDC Data Tracker hasn’t been updated yet for today (must be a federal employee holiday) so I’m posting this since it probably parallels the nation wide count trend to a significant degree. Florida’s daily new case counts steady increase from 29,129 on Monday to 75,962 today almost certainly is largely owed to the Omicron variant. Florida got over its Delta surge earlier this year.

As many expected, based upon the experience in South Africa, this Omicron surge is not being accompanied by a proportionate surge in hospitalizations and deaths. So that is good news.

At this rate, Florida should have herd immunity by Monday afternoon.

The testing is of course upping the numbers...and that's what Brandon wants....cuz the vaccine mandate case at the USSC is Jan 7th.

The ultimate goal will be mail in balloting in November.

I’ll bet the Biden administration has been flying covid positive illegals to Florida for weeks now, hoping to cause this.

Yes. This is exactly what these liberal scum would. Their evil is monumental.

My GOD the leftist media is juvenile and irritating.

Such a gleeful headline! Record-Shattering Week!

Okay. We know. You hate DeSantis because he's not a Democrat. We get it. Now get back to work. The fingerpaints are over there.

CDC’s head Wolensky has admitted the tests are producing a significant amount of false positives. The CDC head.

Any chance that the media will mention that 30% of all new USA cases are in NYC right now?

Didn’t think so.

But let’s write an article about florida having amazing new cases even though most every state is having a huge case spike right now

Si I wonder why they don’t separate out the hospitalizations and deaths due to the Covid Delta variant and those due to Omicron?

We don’t seem to be getting the same information when they gleefully told the vaccination status of the infected. And I have not once, heard about naturally recovered stats. And this gem.

“and an increase in testing”

DUH. More tests, more cases. People must be so sick they don’t even know they have it so test EVRYONE...

Lots of people getting natural immunity, or re-enforcing the immunity from a previous infection.

New York has more than tripled its previous record for cases per day- no story on that.

CDC said the test for the China Virus they are discontinuing CANNOT differentiate between influenza and the Virus. They knew this from the beginning. So how many positive tests and how many deaths were the Flu and not the China Virus? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. What seems to really matter are rates per 100,000, hospitalizations, ICU patients, and death. In my neck of the woods, rate is up around double since middle of this month, but all other stats are headed just as sharply the other direction. Stats can be sliced, diced, and presented to fit any narrative. I’m neither a physician nor a statistician, but looking at the raw numbers, more people seem to be getting the bug (or are actively testing for it, which seems likely), while the severity of the illness has dropped significantly. Many people who really know this stuff seem to think this is good news.
