Decent numbers coming out of FL today. % positive in new cases hit the 10% range for the first time in more than 2 weeks and ED visits for covid like symptoms continue to trend down. Seems more optimistic that FL has gotten a grasp on things again.
As a Floridian I want us to get a handle on it as much as anyone, but to be clear, it's 10.55% positivity ONLY for 1st-time-positive cases. It does not include anyone who previously tested positive and has tested positive again.
I tend to only follow new cases (when states report them separately). Its a better indicator of overall reproduction rate. Multiple testing of known positives can skew that number a fair amount (as can antigen testing which should really be its own category but I digress). And one would hope anyone who has tested positive is taking proper precautions and no longer represents a significant threat to the rest of the public.
