We have seen a decline in numbers with only 2 in Fruitland park and also Bushnell (correctional instit), Are these the totals for each county(since the onset) or are the current active numbers infected. Just asking
My understanding is these numbers are total since testing has started. As for the death numbers, I would hope they are accurate.

We will never have accurate numbers of cases because of asymptomatic carriers of the virus who are not tested, therefore are not counted in the numbers.
