Yet the media outlets all say Florida is “SURGING”! The use of such an


inflammatory term is why the sources can’t be trusted. If a news article said cases are “rising” and presented data to support that case, then it may be believable. If the article goes on to show where the data came from and it’s context, then that makes it plausible. An example would be how increasing cases corresponds with increasing testing. How increasing deaths correspond with increasing cases. Is the percentage going up or down. When presenting a statement that hospital ICUs are 75% full, tell us what was normal before Covid-19. Of the 75% full ICU cases, how much of that is Covid-19 cases. My guess is that 2-3 months of no elective surgeries or empty hospitals waiting on the “surge” of Covid-19 patients has created a backup in hospitals now for non-Covid-19 cases. Very frustrating that I feel I’m being played from all sides.
