Florida’s Department of Health on Saturday confirmed 2,331 additional cases of COVID-19, bringing the state’s known total to 802,547. Also, 41 resident deaths were announced, bringing the resident death toll to 16,761.

The state reported one new non-resident death, bringing the non-resident toll to 208, according to Florida’s COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard.

The big drop in reported cases from the 5,592 new cases reported on Friday could be due to so few new tests reported on Saturday.

On Saturday, the state reported that 37,203 people were tested on Friday. On Friday, the state reported 85,630 people were tested the previous day.

Even as cases spike, Florida is testing less.

1. Illinois has crazy high numbers now. But they are testing 95,000 per day so hopefully

they are catching more people so they can quarantine quicker. I don't know It's horrible.

3. Trump Has Been Holding Rallies in Surrounding States

Cases have been spiking in Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, so it was just a matter of time before Illinois got hit by the Trump wave.

8. The infection rate

even with the reduced testing is still above 6%
so Florida will have infected people floating around as superspreaders.....
