While the cases and deaths were recorded over the last two days, they may have occurred in previous weeks or months. WUSF's statistics are figured on a cumulative basis, while the CDC is adjusting its figures so cases and deaths are recorded on the day they occur as opposed to the day they were reported to the agency. - WJCT

3. The state has already been caught manipulating the numbers...

Why anyone would trust what the state reports is beyond me.

2. I'll bet that the numbers are higher . . .

In many cases even people who get the infusion that DeS is promoting will require hospital care.
