Remember only 2 percent of adults that get the flu go to a doctor which means the death rate around the country is way overstated.

Hide in your closet if you are afraid.

New York tests more people in one day than the total number of Florida tests. Only 150K for 22m for the past 6 weeks. Two weeks ago the positive rate was 8%, now over 10%. This means we’re not testing enough and many more are infected than are tested. The missing column in this data is how many were tested in each county. So few it’s pathetic.

Don’t be alarmed (or any more alarmed than we all are). No, the 4.5 percent positive number for Leon County is the just percentage of those tested, not the entire population. As News Maven notes, it would give us a better picture of what is happening to have the number of people tested.

Do these Graphs and Charts really mean anything considering the Numbers change every HOUR?

In reply to Zoey. The two data columns are, mathematically, "mutually exclusive." A column listing # of tests conducted in each county would be helpful.

In reply to Zoey. No. 1000 tests have been done in Leon. 4% came back positive.

In reply to bob. It's the number of people tests, not the population. Only 1% of population has been tested, and I don't know if some of the numbers are the same person multiple tests. Plus 99% positive recover.

I’m not a math wizzard. But if (according to your table) Florida’s population is 21 million, and the positive rest rate is over %10. wouldn’t that mean that more than 210,000 Floridians tested positive? According to the CDC site there are 277,000 cases in the entire country on April 4th.
