695,887 cases ÷ 21,000,000 Florida residents = 0.033 X 100 = 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus.
So, 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus and of those, 98% did not die.
Too many folks in TV community seem to think that every other person they encounter out in public has this thing and it simply isn't true.

Thanks. Some really don’t want to do any research but just listen or read information without doing any other type of research. For example, In the US in 2018, pre covid and the most current year where data is available, there were 7,708 deaths per day for an annual total of 2,813,420 deaths regardless of cause. This year using the current 200, 000 total Covid related through end of August annualized, Covid will result in an additional 833 deaths per day. However the bulk of those deaths occurred in the first and second quarter and have been on a downward trend ever since so at some point we will know the daily death rate attributed to Covid (less than 833 per day) yet some of that data will remain suspect.
