On July 10th we were presented with a new thread which began:

Florida reports 120 COVID-19 fatalities, its deadliest day of pandemic
Sounds scary doesn't it? But it's a flat out lie meant to scare you. Panic Porn

The poster's complaint was that there were only 9 deaths on that day. He attacked the media for suggesting that things might be getting worse in Florida

Wow...very scary, deaths are rising must be that surge of new cases.

Well guess what the media was right and we all should note that this was not panic porn, it was good reporting. Now that more and more cases are happening here, there are in fact more and more deaths. It is not just that increased testing is finding positives in low risk people.
It is that a whole lot more people are dying of Covid. Today was the highest new reported number of deaths, over 250. That's not panic porn. That's 253 Floridians whose death was reported today from Covid. And over 200 yesterday. So that surge in cases is now, as expected by people who recognize the seriousness of Covid, resulting in a surge in deaths
