    They did not report their negatives. Easy.

    Did the raw number of positives that they reported change at all? No. Just the percentage of how many tests were positive.

    DeSantis refused to announce hospitalization numbers for MONTHS.

    Go to covidtracking.com and look at the Florida data. You tell me when they started to report the hospitalization numbers for Florida.

    Its your claim.....

    Back to the first post.....

    At best not reporting negative results lowers the Total tests given ( Bidens camp claims we are not testing enough you can see where this would benefit him)
    it also impacts the Positive results against total tests done % making the virus look worse then it is...

    So yes accurate numbers DO matter.

    I asked you to look it up yourself because my internet was out and trying to pull it up on the phone is difficult. But here you go:

    upload_2020-7-20_16-23-59.png

    And yes, not reporting the negatives does impact the total number of tests reported. And yes, it also affects the positive percentage response rate.

    What it does not do is reduce the raw number of positive cases. What it doesn't do is remove a single person from the hospital. What it does not do is remove a single person from the morgue.

    Florida, along with several other States across the country, is currently getting royally ****ed by this virus. That is a fact.

    I don't know if you saw my earlier post....

    Nearly 1/2 of Florida's cases are from only four counties ---- Miami/Dade, Broward, Palm Beach (all neighboring counties in south FL) and Orlando/Orange. (These are also blue counties.) Bashing the whole state is a little misleading imho.

    Arizona is no longer a hot spot, dramatic drop in daily new cases and daily new deaths in recent days. Fast spike and it was over.

    In the past week, Arizona saw 539 die from Covid-19.

    Three days ago, the positive testing percentage for Arizona was 39%.

    It is definitely still a hotspot.

    Over the past four weeks, in terms of percentile growth of cases per capita, Florida ranked #1, #2, #2, and #3 each of those respective weeks. Back then, 7.49% of all the tests had returned as positive. As of Monday, the total had jumped to 11.66%.

    Yea. Royally ****ed is accurate even if the areas of Florida with fewer people saw (shocking!) fewer cases and deaths.

    Just like in NY. NYC and the metro area saw the vast number of infections and deaths...but it did spread...

    Just as it will in Florida

    "Nearly 1/2 of Florida's cases are from only four counties ---- Miami/Dade, Broward, Palm Beach (all neighboring counties in south FL) and Orlando/Orange. (These are also blue counties.) Bashing the whole state is a little misleading imho."

    Add Sumter to that list

    134 dead today, 2nd highest single day all-time for Arizona.

    The top spot took place four days ago.

    I already did, but you could not comprehend it.

    The virus is real, but the official narrative of "the crisis" is a hoax. Get a dictionary and put on your "thinking cap" even if you must remove your mask.
