For those who are keeping track of their county Covid numbers, start watching the number of deaths [View all]

in your county.

On Saturday I could have sworn it was 8 in Seminole, but I did not write it down. By Sunday it was 10. An increase of 2, but the reports only stated that one person died in my county. And now there is an increase of another. 11, total.

They may be stretching them out over time so it doesn't look as dire as it really is.
