LOL There's no mention of Florida in that article. My post is about Florida data.

Dr Deborah Birx on Florida's covid 19 website:

“If you go to the Florida Public Health website on COVID, they’ve been able to show their communities’ cases and tests district by district, county by county, ZIP code by ZIP code,” Birx said. “That’s the kind of knowledge and power we need to put into the hands of American people so that they can see where the virus is, where the cases are, and make decisions.”

The “dashboard” also shows the basic statistics, including the total number of confirmed cases, the death toll and the trend in the past month. But the real power, she said, is in the specificity of the data.

Undertand that last month all hospitals were told to stop sending data to CDC....and send to a private firm hired by the HHS. So, whatever you read is filtered quite a bit

And like I said in earlier threads about that, all states have their own websites, if you want data on a particular state, go to their website, because that's where the federal data comes from whether it is at CDC or HHS websites.

Too funny, good news about Florida's cases trending down and what do they come up with? Conspiracy theories that the data is corrupt.

Also, not one comment so far saying "wow Goodlife, you really made a very accurate prediction about when the new cases surge would start ending"

This is very good news and lends credence to the low herd immunity threshold theory.

Florida will have more deaths, maybe double the total we have now, but we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. If cases go down then so will deaths. Also note that I continue to stress that if you are elderly or have certain conditions, don't let up your guard and stay safe.

And yet some appear to be in denial and want the panic to continue. Why?
