Case counts mean nothing. Hospitalizations and deaths due directly to covid are the only numbers that matter, at this point. Case count is a function of testing. No test, no case. Promote lots of testing and you'll have high case counts. Don't, and you won't.
You are simply lying, shuffling data and censoring media, to look good. While, corpses are piling in the streets of Florida. It's all lies. The only reporting standard is NYC and their SNF reports. That's the way to follow.
Ha. I am in Florida right now. Today. And I can assure you that there are no corpses in the street.
It's free and beautiful and the people here are absolutely wonderful.
Enjoy it while you can. More people have had Covid in Florida than live in my state and Florida has had 9% of the nation's covid deaths. I see vaccinations are up...better than Mississippi. Wow.
The more I look at the COVID numbers on Google maps, and the way they swing wildly up and down in short periods of time, the less credible they seem. And that would include Florida. Why do numbers in the upper Midwest look so horrible, while those from the states that most would pick to be the biggest problems look so good?
Florida's numbers look great today, but how was that accomplished, considering they were among the worst just a few months ago? Somehow I doubt reality has changed that much.
It wouldn't shock me to learn of a COVID credit marketplace where great numbers can be bought....a la Carbon credits.

Because COVID follows a seasonal pattern. Generally ****ty weather => More cases.
Southerners go indoors in the summer. Northerners go indoors in the winter.
At this point, covid means nothing to me. As for boosters, come back to me when it proactively addresses next year's dominant variant specifically, otherwise I'll take a hard pass.
Case counts, positivity rate, hospitalizations and most notably deaths, have plummeted dramatically.
And not because we shut down the state, forced people to get vaxed, or required permanent masking for schoolkids.
Without oppressive, excessive, and seemingly endless 'mandates' we seem to be doing pretty damn good.
FWIW, according to Worldometer Florida reports:
the seven day moving average deaths now dipping below FIVE per day, and
the three day moving average deaths oscillating around ONE per day
More than likely people caught it last year, had no to mild symptoms and are able to better fend it off now.
That seems to be a pattern in the various cities/states that had huge surges.
But our government is obsessed and fixated on vaccines so I doubt much research will go into looking into patterns and coming up with hypothesis/theories.

Meanwhile, Democrat run states are going on year two of pointless “mitigation” measures while cases hospitalizations and deaths pile up more than in 2020. You would think they would learn but that’s asking too much apparently.
