Most are going down. But the bigger deal is deaths are down. And that is because most of the high risks have been vaccinated. So the bulk of new cases are happening in the younger and healthier unvaccinated populations, that don't commonly die from Covid 19

Has Florida led the way every step of this pandemic, considering it's population of 22 million, highly vulnerbale older, as well as the transient vacationers, snowbirds and seasonal renters.

Oh .. and it's been OPEN since May 2020.

Considering ALL those factors ... how's Florida been doing compared to states with full-on restrictions, no tourists and healthy demographics?

The gov. of Florida is sure pulling a line of BS on its citizens by telling them they have the highest rate of decrease when it is actually because Florida has such high numbers of COVID to begin with!
What's the total population of Florida?

How many tests were administered?

Why do people NOT look at all the information?

My guess is that it takes time and thinking. Can't just parrot: FLORIDA BAD!!!!!!

In Florida, the huge chain of Regal movie theaters all over the state just opened last month(April 2021).

Cruise ships aren't sailing yet in Florida.

June 2020 Florida had phase 2 reopening. Sept 25,2020 Florida had phase 3 reopening.

Lots of local live theaters (plays, ballets, orchestra, etc) are just planning to reopen in Florida.

Well that's good news then. It is approaching summer season in the US so cases would be expected to decline naturally across the board. Vaccinations help significantly, of course. If we experience another surge, I speculate it is most likely to be from a variant.

Florida is doing great. A model for how this should have been handled.

Florida spends a lot of time in the fresh air outside. I seldom see a lot of smokers, I’m sure they are around but for the most part. Hot sun n salty water and fresh air has to help our immune systems.

For all the liberals who are so keenly interested in the "failures" of Florida, I figured I'd update you. And no, wearing useless cloth masks has nothing to do with the decline.
I'd call this proof the vaccines are working.

The bodies weren’t piling up even before the vaccine
