Florida’s skyrocketing coronavirus death rate is now higher than any other state, edging out Texas, which has about 25% more people.
Florida recorded another 134 deaths Tuesday, bringing its daily average for the past week to 115, topping the 112 deaths a day Texas has reported during that time, Associated Press statistics show. A month ago, Florida was averaging 33 coronavirus deaths a day.
Overall, 5,317 people have died in Florida from COVID-19 since March 1 and nearly 370,000 have tested positive for the disease. About 19% of tests have returned positive in Florida over the last week, compared to 10% a month ago and 2.3% in late May.
The state reported that an additional 517 people have been admitted to hospitals with the disease.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a scheduled news conference Tuesday afternoon to discuss the outbreak.

so whats the big deal, they are doing more testing so it will automatically show more positive results. no reason to panic on this panicdemic
Fake News. This fraudulent”statistics” where debunked by local Fox new crew in Orlando. Even the death of unfortunate motorcycle accident victim was listed as Wuhan-19.
Lol
And that is nowhere near what New York and New Jersey had
Maybe Coumo can advise. HAHAHAHA!!!
People are dying WITH the Wuhan virus, not OF it.
@MoisheInGolus You do know that story was proven false, right? And clear evidence has emerged of Florida covering up deaths and attributing more deaths to other states. Did you know many of New York’s and New Jersey’s deaths occurred in Florida?
