Based on the Florida coronavirus dashboard, there is considerable variance in the number of cases reported each day for the last month. However, the overall trend does not appear to be increasing but does appear to be flat. The death rate is in a sharp decline, even when allowing for the fact that the deaths associated with any particular day take a while to be reported.

Also, the death rate may be down, but the cases are increasing, even with It becoming harder to get tested. There are possible long-term medical consequences to this disease, and I’m not referring to transmission, though that’s also a concern. So death is not the only serious result with which we need to be concerned.
