The increase in cases is not testing alone, as those testing positive are up at a higher rate. Week ending 6/7 in Florida 4.34% tested positive, has gone up every week since and was 11.98% for ending 6/28 (updated data should be released in the next couple days and is trending upward)
Positive cases are increasing at a higher rate than testing is. Cases over a 7 day average have almost tripled in Florida over the last two weeks, testing hasn't gone up by that same level. Hospitalizations over the last 7 days in Florida are higher than they have been Deaths, thankfully are not seeing the same uptick, and likely won't see the levels we had previously seen due to the impacts of a younger and generally healthier population. However, deaths are a lagging indicator and it is too early to tell if deaths will spike or not.
If you're temperature-checked on your way into work and you are over 100.4 you have to get tested. That introduces a further positive bias into the numbers. Something really scary; I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago, two days after they reopened. Someone who was feeling well had 103 fever.

Why are hospitalizations in TX up x 5.5 since Memorial day?
No, they’re flying them to hospitals in Dallas and Houston. And when all area hospitals reach capacity, it’s crisis standard of care. Being glib about what’s happening to these area health care systems requires a special kind mental illness and abject depravity.
Houston claimed to be at capacity three weeks ago then quit reporting numbers. The only satisfaction is that liberals can't sing and clap about another day of record increase in admissions.
There goes the senior citizen vote for Trump...if he loses Florida, he loses the election.
The senior citizens will vote even more for Trump. They recognize the dementia in Joe better than anyone plus they know the Dems' grand social welfare plans will kill their retirement investments.
"Over the past week, Dr. Aric Bakshy, an emergency physician at Houston Methodist, had to decide which coronavirus patients he should admit to the increasingly busy hospital and which he could safely send home."
The point is to follow a phased reopening using the 14 day trends in the CDC guidelines for new infections, ICU capacity, test availability, contact tracing. What is the point in just reopening without following strict guidelines, who is going out to eat with 10,000 new cases a day.
How did Europe and Canada succeed while we failed.
There is no healthy economy without healthy citizens.
Are you sure they succeeded? When did they re-open?

Because George Floyd was from 3rd Ward.
