Florida considers not releasing daily COVID-19 case numbers to the public
Whether it is through state-run online dashboards, or the popular Johns Hopkins University coronavirus website — Americans have gotten used to tracking COVID-19 numbers in real-time.

1. Of course.

Because they are huuuge.

[Voltaire2]

2. well that is one way to handle it.

It is right next to 'don't test'.

[dchill]

5. Would that be a corollary?

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Then Johns-Hopkins Will Go....

...to the health insurance companies or regional medical associations in Florida.
They'll get the data anyway. So, will Worldometer.

4. Are these people serious?

Yes, HIDE data (information) from your citizens. What the fuck.

[dchill]

6. Florida governor might also consider not coming to work.

7. Welp.snow birds who rent will lose any confidence that FLA will get Covid under control

and be a safe place to rent for the winter.

People wHo have rental Properties in FLA as investments could feel losses.

8. Wouldn't want anyone to panic, would we.

Slow learner.

9. You only hide info to lie to the public. People of Forida elected the Gop

Governor and legislature so they own this outcome. Me? We will not return to Florida and spend another penny in Florida until Covid is resolved and under control. Thousands of us retirees are staying away from Florida this winter. The cost will be in tens if not hundreds of millions to Florida economy

10. Totally illegal under Florida law, so this will be interesting

11. Did this start today

Their numbers usually get added around noon, nothing today so far.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Bump, no numbers today.

None form GA. None from FL. None from AL.

It’s almost a thousand deaths today without those states. I think this is an attempt to help Trump.

[Johnny2X2X]

13. FL reported today

100 deaths. It’s almost like they just made up a number. Deadliest day in several weeks.
