There were 86 people who died yesterday in Florida from Covid 19 and three in Sumter County. Just type into your browser the words Corona Virus and the County AND State.
There are only reports from Counties. Not towns or areas.

The number of deaths on any given day don't really tell a whole lot. The people that died contracted those cases at different times. If the virus was destroyed tomorrow, there might still be Covid-19 deaths a year from now.
The only number that I'm interested in is how many new cases there are in a given time period and how may total, active cases there are in my area. Which brings up the point that we don't often see the number of cured cases. Of those 760,389 cases, how many no longer have the virus? How many of those were false positives? How may people that are living among us currently have the virus?
