FL reports shocking 28,317 new Covid cases today

[Johnny2X2X]

120 new deaths.

Well, people wondered what it would have been like if there were no masks or restrictions to try to contain the spread, we’re seeing it live in FL right now. The deaths are going to be staggering in a few weeks too. A completely avoidable tragedy.

1. I don't trust that

Yesterday fla posted no #’s on worldometers
Today they posted 28,317 new cases and 120 deaths
If you click the yesterday tab on worldometers you can see the #’s they’ve added for Sunday
28,316 new cases, 119 deaths …

wtf?

3. 2 day total.

They just took the numbers they had for 2 days and divided by two. They didn’t report Sunday.

6. Apparently, Florida had almost 60,000 new cases just over the weekend!

My neighbor just proudly told me that her family just returned from a vacation from Florida yesterday! I sure hope they don't have the Covid. They are anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

19. No, FL had 90,221 new cases from Saturday 7/31 thru Friday 8/6.

That averages out to be about 13,000 new cases per day over a 7 day period.

Numbersi obtained from John Hopkins Covid Dashboard.

See my post # 17 below.

7. There are a few states (FL being one of them)

that are not reporting cases on a daily basis. When they report, they spread the cases evenly over the intervening period.

8. I got that, now

Neither poster from either post on it added the explanation in the OP
So I gather the #’s are the previous day’s count too …
So Thursday fla set the new record of 23k, posted on Friday
Friday’s #’s of 28,316 are posted on Saturday?

Texas posts low #’s initially and when worldometers zero’s out late in the evening,
by clicking the yesterday tab, the #’s have increased, a lot
It jumped from 2k to 10k after the zero out recently, so im always checking both to see what’s changed …

15. Worldometers does its best to post it on the day it occurred.

So even if the data for Friday isn't available until Saturday, Worldometers goes back and corrects the earlier data. (The main reason, full set of data isn't available - they correct all the way back to the early days of the pandemic . . . and as long as things were declining, I stopped investing the time to update. Now that things aren't declining - I don't have the time.

2. I see DeathSantis is right on it

5. From the Miami Herald

Over the weekend, Florida didn’t merely break its single-day COVID-19 case record — the state shattered it, according to numbers reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Monday.

The CDC halved the weekend data sent by the state of Florida, 56,633 new cases, and put 28,316 new cases Saturday and 28,317 new cases Sunday. Either number blasts the state past the previous high of 23,903 established on Friday by 18.5%.

Along with that infection record, the state set another record, 13,977 current hospitalizations, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

9. By Way Of Comparison

Illinois had a 3 day moving average of 2,776 as of today. The 3 days were pretty much flat.
Florida has around twice the population and 10x the COVID cases.
Fivefold disproportionate.

10. WHY IS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LETING THIS HAPPEN ????????????????????????

11. Rope hypothesis

[SergeStorms]

12. It's DeSatan's state.

The federal government doesn't run each separate state. The citizens of Florida elected DeSatan as their governor. He, and the Florida legislature, are in charge of making Florida's laws.

The only way to get rid of DeSatan before the next gubernatorial election would be to impeach him, and that isn't going to happen in Florida.

13. Jurisdiction. They have none.

14. It's God's will

or the rapture, or something. Maybe this is all Hillary's fault somehow. Biden is punishing red states who didn't vote for him because he's punitive like that.

16. I note the fatalities weren't posted today

Must be cooking those books.

[Fla Dem]

17. Would like to know where those numbers are reported. Fla has stopped

reporting daily numbers. I’ve been tracking Fla #’s for over a year.
Florida is now only reporting once a week.

On Friday they reported for the period of Saturday 7/31 thru Friday 8/6/21. The total for that period was:

New Cases. 90,221
Total Cases: 2,689,985
New Deaths: 292
Total Deaths: 39,695

New cases represent 7 days.

I’ve been getting the numbers from the John Hopkins Covid dashboard.

18. Why?..Simple..DeSantis is trying in his own way ....TO COOK THE BOOKS...&....make it look.....

Much Better than It Really Is........................................................

......................DeSantis cares only about...."himself"..........................................

...............................& That's it, & That Is All!!!....................
