Florida recorded more coronavirus cases this week than CA, TX, NY, and IL combined

[left-of-center2012]

The state logged 73,199 more infections in this week’s state Department of Health report. That’s the biggest one-week surge since Jan. 27.
73,199 infections in one week !
(Didn’t Florida Governor DeSantis say this past week that Covid-19 has been defeated?)

California, Texas, New York and Illinois all together logged 73,116 new infections in the seven days leading up to Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

Testing statistics reported by the state further show the deadly respiratory illness is out of control. Fifteen percent of covid-19 tests came back positive, a level not seen since last summer, when Florida temporarily became the epicenter of the pandemic, recording more new infections than anywhere else.

Health experts have recommended sustained positivity levels for two weeks of below 5% before considering the virus contained. Florida has not achieved that since June 25.

7. no worries... not like Florida is a huge tourism state...

and not like all these sick people aren't getting back on planes and flying all over the country which is sure to see a spike a few weeks later.

13. Do tourists even count as a Florida Covid case?

Or do they count for their home state instead?

Is Florida exporting Covid to the rest of the country?

14. Fl is exporting them back to the rest of the country.
