I'm not surprised Florida's numbers are "stable" for lack of a better word. I've seen very little movement in terms of rate changes since I started tracking in mid-March. My state has its fingers in its ears bellowing "la, la, la." And its about to get much worse with DeSantis and his Reopening Task Force lead by Disney and Universal Studios.
