Something Very Odd With The Florida COVID Numbers.

These are up-to-date Florida Covid case and death counts.
In every other instance of CV19 records in either states or countries (and there are hundreds), CV19 peak death numbers consistently lag peak case numbers by 10d to 2wks. I included Louisiana numbers as an example. Notice Louisiana case counts in the current surge peaked about 2 wks ago, and deaths should peak imminently. That is the same relational pattern seen everywhere.
But not so with records of the current surge counts out of Florida. According to current FL CV19 death counts, the Florida case surge should be over. In fact, according to death numbers, the surge should have ended 2wks ago. According to case reports though, the FL case surge is just peaking now. Very strange.
Perhaps there is a logical explanation (other than data manipulation) for the anomaly, but I'm not seeing it. What I am seeing is every media outlet in the state putting the daily FL CV19 case numbers on full-blast broadcast volume to get at DeSantis.

Do you think that every case of sniffles in Florida is being diagnosed as chyna flu?
Posted on 8/28/21 at 9:25 am to NC_Tigah
They're required by HHS to report this

Could it be Desantis excellent move to open those therapy clinics?

My guess it is because it is mostly children getting it and they are very unlikely to die.

An intervention would be the most likely explanation but I strongly doubt they would cause a drop like that.
It quite literally looks like the cases are lagging the deaths.
This is very sketchy.

Antibody infusion therapy or nah

Wouldn't those kids be infecting their families too though? and cause a surge across the board?

Depends. This surge coincides with school restarting and most importantly school activities. This may throw the surge off relative to other states.

My first thought was also that this could be from the introduction of widespread antibody treatments...

Tourists?

I would think this is part of it. People get sick and they are instantly given access to the infusion. Maybe the infusion can only buy time for some of these people.
Here in Louisiana, as comparison, only high risk people or people with pre existing conditions are eligible and they are still put on a waiting list of 3+ days for the infusion.

You “think?”
This is where you would usually sanctimoniously ridicule anyone who dares question official natives as being a “potato-head” who is unable to think critically. But welcome to the lunatic fringe just the same!

But the FL case-to-death dichotomy is so anomalous it seemingly would require nearly exclusively pediatric CV19 infections and virtually no infected adults over the past 3 weeks.

Florida has a huge concentration of elderly and I suspect that skews the data.
