Florida changed its COVID-19 data, creating an ‘artificial decline’ in recent deaths
As cases ballooned in August 2021, the Florida Department of Health changed the way it reported death data to the CDC, giving the appearance of a pandemic in decline.
Totals
The data used in these graphics are sourced from the CDC and the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
Flattening the curve
In , known cases are doubling every days.
The chart below shows the cumulative cases over time, starting when each county confirmed its 100th case. The graph uses a logarithmic scale to show when the rate of new cases is leveling off. The flatter the line, the slower the rate of increase. A "doubling rate" is how long it will take for the current number of cases to double by examining the rate of growth over the last seven days.
Update December 18, 2020: The chart below now shows the number of cases by day since the 100th case. The previous version of the chart started at the 10th known case. No data has been changed.
Cumulative cases by county
Update March 8, 2021: The testing data source has changed from The Covid Tracking Project to the CDC. The CDC only collects data on PCR test specimens, not indidvual people tested. Additionally, the data is updated every few days. The graphics have been updated to reflect that change.
