Hospitalizations are flat because there are no more beds.

Cases are flat because they are put of testing supplies(or just not testing).

Let's wait a week and see what happens to the death rate. Of course, In Florida if you have a second residence somewhere else (as many retirees do), they will not count them in the state statistics and those Covid deaths disappear into the bureaucratic ether.

This is the dangerous kind of false narrative with statistics that will allow the evil governors to justify their decisions.

No, he can't. But she's not trustworthy either Roland99 Jul 2020 #16

Orlando Sentinel today said the state positivity rate was 10.7% yesterday. OrlandoDem2 Jul 2020 #7
