You have no idea how many people died that day because the death certificates are still pending for almost every person who died that day.

Never said the 120 deaths reported was wrong. Just pointed out that most of them happened in previous months all the way back to April.
You have no idea how many people that actually died on July 9 either. So far we know of nine. The Sentinel headline and chart are misleading because they make it look like they all happened on July 9. As more deaths are backfilled from future deaths, we'll know the real number and actual trend.
What is sad is people who insist panic porn headlines and graphs are real.
120 people were reported to have died on that day. Date of reported death is a completely valid metric. It is used by every single agency nationally and internationally to track COVID. You can post all you like about how reporting it is misleading, but it is your attempt to claim the statistic itself is misleading that is errant
Nope, 120 death certs came in on that day, they died on multiple days going back to all the way to April. Not on July 9.
Florida does not use reported day of deaths for the dashboard, they use actual date of death numbers like any sane person would.
Here's a snapshot of todays graph, and look, they now have 21 deaths for July 9. Yesterday it had 9. It is updated daily to show actual date of death numbers. Most of those 120 were backfilled to June. This is how it's done correctly, not the bogus graph the Sentinel used for it's panic porn article. So I guess reported day of deaths are not used by "every single agency" to track covid deaths. That would be insane.
