Total cases minus Positive residents minus Deaths = (-2)

-2 recoveries?


How about

Cases - 23,340
Active Cases - 22,028
Deaths - 668

Recoveries - 644

Here is the website where I am getting the most up to date information  - FL Department of Health.  They even break down this information by zip code.  What is lacking, is data on recoveries.

Not sure what they mean by 'positive residents', but if you add 'positive residents' to 'deaths' you get a number higher than 'number of cases'.

Not sure what they mean by 'positive residents', but if you add 'positive residents' to 'deaths' you get a number higher than 'number of cases'.

Positive residents are the number of people that actually reside in FL, total cases includes those people who don't technically live in FL, or are seasonal and have a home elsewhere.  They have been tested in FL and therefore counted among the total testing positive for the virus.  So, using the latest figures there are 666 (eerie) people who have tested positive in FL, that are here but are either visiting or seasonal residents.

Deaths are deaths.

Deaths are deaths they aren't in addition to the total number of cases that have tested positive.  Out of the total number of those that have tested positive, using the latest figures -- 668 have died.  So, we are seeing a 2.8% death rate of those who have tested positive,  based on the figures that have been reported to the FL Dept. of Health.

I don't know how many tests have not been processed, I do know that there was a complaint in my county, that after 2 weeks, someone had not received their test results.

IMHO these figures are very conservative.

Yikes!  Near the 26,000 mark with Dade county reporting over 9,000 cases.  Total FL reported cases is still less than 1% of the state's population.

One item that has not been included in any of the state's reports: how many people in Florida have recovered from the coronavirus. That's because the state is not measuring that statistic.

The DOH has posted the following explanation for why it does not track recoveries on its website:

"We do not currently measure “recovery,” and don’t expect to have such a designation anytime in the near future. Recovery can mean a lot of things — some countries say you’re recovered 14 days from infection even if you are still sick, or even dead, based on a computer algorithm that calculates the amount of time passed since a case is first reported.

"The very definition of recovery is a contested issue — are you recovered once you’re no longer symptomatic, or contagious, once you get a negative test result, or no longer require hospitalization? Are you ever “recovered” if you suffer long-term effects from having the virus? Until some of these issues and definitions are worked out at the local, state and national level, we will not be providing a metric for recovery."
