Related: About this forumThey are again screwing around with Seminole County numbers for coronavirus cases.
Yesterday, on the dashboard, the total no. of resident cases was 389. Today it is 388. They're going backwards. We won't know until tomorrow if they will actually show an increase in the positive cases, which will further degrade the usefulness of the dashboard bar graph.
This is unacceptable.
Someone needs to be held accountable.
Oh, and since they're listing 6 positive non-resident cases, I guess that means we have a total of 401 or 400, since the total non-resident plus resident cases was 395 yesterday.

If the total number of cases really went from 389 to 388, I'd presume that means...

(7,397 posts)1. Just looking at comparative numbers with my little county, Seminole is suspicious.
Putnam County...........pop. 73, 268...............120 cases
Seminole County.........pop. 471,735...............388 cases.
Given that Seminole County has many more people, not to mention density, these numbers seem a bit off.

So sick of the backwater way they do things in this county.

They are crazy with 206 deaths in one county alone this county is open for business. My county in Florida has 12 deaths and were locked up. Backwater indeed.

...one person either died or recovered, so there's one less case.
But I have no idea if that's how they're counting.

It's a double hit.
