Tourist season is here and our numbers are rising...but I am still hoping that DeSantis refuses to shut us down again. Looking at the numbers (if I'm calculating correcting) our death rate out of those tested is around 1%. Hospitalization is around 4% of those testing positive. Death rate of 1% is not worth closing down the entire state!! 3 counties have the most COVID cases in the entire state...they are open as well.
