One day does not a trend make.  We have some interesting data in the State of Florida Coronavirus graph.  It’s way too early to make any assumptions.  However, the chart is showing a reduction in the number of new cases within the State of Florida.  This is very encouraging, especially if this becomes a long term trend.

Latest Numbers:
The State of Florida has nearly 14,000 cases statewide.  We have 1,719 hospitalizations.  In other words, 13% of the people who have tested positive in the state have needed hospitalization.  Conversely, 87% of the people who have been confirmed to have Coronavirus have not needed hospitalization.  There have been 254 deaths statewide related to the Coronavirus COVID-19. That’s a 1.9% fatality rate so far.

Miami-Dade County
In Miami-Dade, there are 4,671 total confirmed cases of the Coronavirus.  Miami-Dade has 34% of the entire state’s confirmed cases.  However, the hospitalization rate is just 6.1% compared to the state rate of 12.6%.  I believe this is a testament to the extensive testing that has been conducted in Miami-Dade County.  Also, the fatality rate in Miami-Dade County is just 0.9% compared the state average of 1.9%.  Again, I think Miami-Dade County should be lauded for the extensive testing done for our community.  And everyone in the community shares in the effort to protect our seniors from this horrible virus.
