Nothing To Worry About
That’s according to Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor.
According to Rebekah Jones’s site Florida COVID Action: today the Florida Department of Health is reporting that Florida had:
- 11,433 new cases today
- 65,837 new cases this week
- 244,151 cases since March 1st
- 93 new deaths today
- 4203 deaths since March 1st
So we shouldn’t be concerned that more than a quarter of all cases occurred this week? Florida is the location of a sixth of the daily count of new COVID cases for the entire US, but we shouldn’t worry 😈
There are a lot of out of state plates on the local roads, which means that cases are probably being exported to other states. This is a good thing because Florida only has 918 available ICU beds, that’s Key West to Pensacola less than a thousand beds.
