your own link says the ships are quarantining the "small number" of passengers that tested positive

the rest is total bull S....

Florida's cases went up because Florida's testing went up....Florida increased the testing 3 times more

cases don't mean a damn thing..if they don't tell you how many tests were given...

....and when they don't do that, it's a scam

Cases only mean something to some posters when they are low. When they are high, it doesn't matter. Besides, three times the tests! Sheesh!

test 3 times more people.....and somehow cases are not supposed to go up

if the reporting was honest...they would report the percent positive...the rate

....it's ~7%......almost the lowest it's been

Comparisons of lockdown vs open states is just ridiculous at this point. As a Floridian, I appreciate my state's COVID policies and want them to continue regardless of COVID case counts. I choose to live here rather than in states with stricter policies. You may live perfectly happy in a state that has stricter policies. So be it. I support you in your decision. But this constant ******* about other state's policies is growing old as we approach two years with COVID.

Let it go.

The reason more people got tested is because more people got sick, and were worried that they might have Covid.

That Florida's positivity rate has gone up since early this month tells you that indeed more people started getting sick, and sought a Covid test to find out if they had Covid or not.

If the # of people getting sick there weren't actually increasing, the positivity rate would have gone down if more people were getting tested against a backdrop of no more people getting sick. Instead, it went up.

Leave it to the Governor to keep us in denial and in the dark.

It was 13.8% average last week per the state report I linked above. That is nearly 3 times what it was in the prior week. Got another theory? (and, by the way, every public health agency provides the positivity data. I don't understand why you can't find it unless you aren't actually looking)
