I am encouraged that for those with symptoms we are only at 6%.

Yes, as we test more we will find more cases. Yes, we should follow CDC guidelines of social distancing and staying healthy with reasonable exercise no closer than 6 ft from others. No, we should not be licking doorknobs and hugging strangers.
This link is also helpful and can help us keep up with what's going on. It's periodically updated and Florida specific.
