If you scroll down and click on any of the counties (exactly like you'd do for the DoH dashboard) you can see that in Hillsborough County, as of *this week* (specifically) there were 475 new pediatric cases reported. Of those, 465 were admitted to the emergency room (which doesn't mean it's an actual emergency but many people don't have "regular" doctors and use the ER instead). Of those 465 ER cases, 73 were admitted into the hospital. Two children are dead, as of this week. |
Thank you for that link. I remember seeing that page in the past but I had lost it.
I still cannot find the 475 number or the "this week" data and I also question the labels on the data.
Two examples:
1. At the top of the page the data is labeled "since March 1. For the entire State the page shows "Total deaths since March 1: 34,364." The JHU page shows 33,710 death in Florida since the beginning of Covid. So is the Experience page showing me deaths since March 1, 2020 or is it simply mislabeled? In any case, the value covers much more than the last five weeks.
2. When I select Hillsborough County in the dropdown at the top of the page, the values under Pediatrics update and I see your 465, 73, and 2. If I take those two pediatric deaths as two children dead as of this week then I should also be able to look in the Long-term car facilities (LTCF) and take those 557 deaths as being over the same time frame or 557 LTCF deaths so far this week. But that makes 559 deaths in Hillsborough County alone in only three days when the entire State is going to report fewer deaths than that for a seven-day period. My guess is the Pediatrics: block represents data since the beginning of Covid (or possibly 3/1/20) and not just this past week.
