Related: About this forumFlorida coronavirus cases tick up in September, stalling progress
Floridas coronavirus cases have risen again, if only slightly, and its not just an issue of college students.
For the first time since early July, statewide numbers of new cases of the virus have increased throughout September albeit a small uptick, nowhere near as sharp as the early summer.
And current COVID-19 hospitalizations, one of the most timely ways to measure the spread in how many people are sick, are no longer dropping sharply but have instead flattened out. In a few large counties, the count is going back up again.

(3,056 posts)6. Good question?
Progress in actively covering-up of Covid-19 data?
Progress fooling Floridians of actual Covid-19 danger?
