Above previous 7 day average of 2%
The Florida Covid 19 cases has risen by 2.5% today. That is higher than the 2% 7 day average. What is worrying is:
- Reopening seems to be leading to rises in the cases
- Protests impact is probably yet to come
- Not only has Florida seen a rise but other warm states including Texas and Arizona have also seen recent moves back to the upside. It was hoped that as temperatures rise, the number of cases would fall naturally.
