Here's an account of the problem back in April. For that month Florida typically had around 17,000 deaths, this April we had 19,200, say 2,000...
There's a reason I've stopped giving daily reports on covid-19 cases in Florida. I started to question the numbers, because they didn't show...
I could hardly make this one up. Florida will not release data on COVID-19 in schools due to "privacy concerns". Similar concerns previously...
Somebody, and I can't always be sure who, has been trying to argue that the mortality rate for COVID-19 in the U.S. is a fraction of the official...
