Fortunately we are lucky here as our county is very low overall. Heaven help those folks down in South FL. The Village of Lemmings south of 44 will be sold out soon.

It matters to see actual trends. I am not obsessed with it, the media keeps putting out scare stories that make it look like reported deaths actually happened on one day. The Florida State Dashboard actually shows the deaths in their chart by actual date of death which is the correct way. Remember the previous media report of 120 deaths, Florida's most deadly day? Now take a look at the dashboard graph. There are not 120 deaths in their chart for July 9.
