Let's see----that would be 1 out of every 10,738 Floridians----Yes, those are great numbers. Especially considering that only 6 percent of even that low number died of Wuhan-19 by itself.
You can easily go to the DeSantis Florida COVID dashboard and take a look at "Resident Deaths by Date of Death" chart and see that the number is already over 1500 for the past 30 days. And the past 3 weeks have not even been fully recorded yet. Even your governor's own COVID site shows that 2000 deaths over 20 days is likely when all the deaths by date are uploaded to the site -- which will not happen until three weeks from now due to the "significant delays" in recording deaths that the site warns you about. I do find it amusing that the DeSantis COVID portal will now only allow you to see the chart of deaths of residents in the past 30 days and not allow the user to select a longer time period. It's also amusing that they limit the results to residents of Florida to avoid noting the many deaths of people who were in Florida for month but not residents of the state because their primary residence is elsewhere. It's sad to see that the Florida COVID site still does not provide data feeds with the data, and now has even eliminated the ability to download death data from the website in the file; only case data is provided by county & zipcode. They even eliminated the tabs at the bottom showing death data by county or zipcode -- leaving only the tabs for cases. At this point maybe Florida would be best off providing a COVID website with a blank screen -- because their COVID Dashboard is basically so minimal it is next to useless. This is what happens when a political agenda drives the presentation of your state's COVID data. Remember all the things I mentioned above were on the site mere weeks ago. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429
DeSantis' school COVID report pushes entirely fake data with much lower numbers than the schools reported themselves over the same time period. Isn't it time that the DeSantis regime stops deliberately pushing fake data. Florida’s report on COVID-19 in schools tells ‘good story,' DeSantis says. But it may not be all of the story. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/corona...0200930-pjvq4ikgabcytgxp6ecnre4qpe-story.html Parents in Florida have been waiting with bated breath for the state to release a report about new coronavirus cases in schools so they can make informed family health decisions about whether to send their child back to campus for in-person instruction. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quietly released the report Tuesday, saying it was “a good story to tell.” But the numbers in the report don’t add up with the cases some schools have already released. The Florida Department of Health did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Tuesday, including questions about what went into the report. It seems to show the number of students and teachers who’ve tested positive for the virus at each school between Sept. 6 and Sept. 26. Earlier on Tuesday, DeSantis said he believes it’s more accurate to look at the number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits rather than the number of cases, though that information is not included in the schools report. The state report indicates that the coronavirus is spreading mostly in high schools. DeSantis also acknowledged that a significant chunk of the cases are reported in counties with college towns, such as University of Florida in Alachua County and Florida State University in Leon County. Even at the university level, the numbers didn’t match up with the state’s report. The University of Florida’s coronavirus dashboard shows that the university reported 100 cases of the virus on Sept. 6, which is the date the state began reporting its cumulative data. The next day, UF had 70 more cases. According to the university’s dashboard, 797 students and 57 faculty and staff have tested positive for the virus to date since testing began in May. The state’s report says the university has had only one case since Sept. 6 after a student tested positive. In-person instruction hasn’t started yet in Broward County, but the school district says 28 staff members have had the virus in the last month. The state’s report does not provide the totals. According to Broward County school’s dashboard, two employees have tested positive for coronavirus in the last 30 days at Annabel C. Perry PK-8 in Miramar. The state’s report says only one employee has tested positive there since Sept. 6. Palm Beach County has had 22 cases, seven students and 15 employees, since Sept. 16. In-person instruction began on Sept. 21. Hillsborough County has reported 427 cases as of July 30. Rebekah Jones, a former employee at the state’s health department, now operates TheCovidMonitor.com, which tracks cases in schools nationally and in Florida. On Tuesday when health officials released the schools report, she called it “a holy hot mess of hell.” “The numbers are WAY off — hundreds of cases missing from districts that self-report,” she wrote on Twitter. In Florida, about half of the 70 school districts are keeping their own dashboards. The districts have their own way of reporting cases, their own time periods and different definitions of active vs. cumulative cases. Some dashboards update nightly, others once or twice a week. In a news conference on Tuesday morning, DeSantis said the report showed good news — that there’s a lack of transmission between students and teachers and between students and their peers. And whatever transmission there is doesn’t have a huge impact on community spread, he said. “As you get older, you’re a more efficient transmitter compared to someone in fifth grade,” he said. “Even if there were to be an outbreak at a middle school...10 days later, did any get sick? Need medical attention? I think the answer almost always is no.”
At best, the last 20 days have had between 700-750 deaths. Even 1500 in 30 days still is not the 2000 deaths in the last 20 days. The point was that the number being quoted by Usualname about 2000 deaths in the last 20 days was false. Not surprising. You can say what might be, and that's fine. But that wasn't the point. Stop making shit up.
We will go back after all the deaths for this time period are posted (which will be several weeks from now due to delays in Florida) --- and count the number of deaths by date in the 20 day and 30 days windows.
We can. And it is quite possible that this will be a correct statement at sometime in the future. But when it was made, referring to 2000 deaths that occurred already, the statement I made about reported was correct.
