Florida Weekly Deaths Graph

[Utility Man]

Decided to make a graph using the total number of deaths listed on the COVID-19 Weekly Situation Report(s) provided by doh.state.fl.us.

Here it is.



Here are those numbers.

06-04 (36,985) + 280
06-11 (37,265) + 290
06-18 (37,555) + 217
06-25 (37,772) + 213
07-02 (37.985) + 172
07-09 (38,157) + 231
07-16 (38,388) + 282
07-23 (38,670) + 409
07-30 (39,079) + 616
08-06 (39,695) + 1,071
08-13 (40,766) + 1,486
08-20 (42,252) + 1,727
08-27 (43,979)

It would seem as though with 1,727 deaths in one week on the most recent report, Florida has beat their old record for number of daily deaths, 242 seems to be their previous high, 1,727 deaths divided by 7 (days in a week) is a average of 246.7 deaths per day.

I would hope someone can dispute these numbers and prove me wrong, I will add screenshots for where I got the total number of deaths being reported.

In the meantime, the weekly reports can be found here.

Best of luck and stay safe out here.

virtually every one of those dead people had families.


who now mourn. many who lost the breadwinner. many who will have financial hardship.

That's so strange. There was a conservative in a different thread telling me Covid was about as deadly as the flu. How come we don't have this sort of flu death caseload every year....

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis demonstrates that he can be just as whacked and deadly as Donald Trump.

Strange is putting it lightly ..Trump taught his followers how to lie with a straight face. They've mastered the art, they now believe in there own lies.

I need some help interpreting the charts you provide and the numbers you quote. How does the number you quote relate to the chart. For example, I see the week ending August 13th as slightly over 1000 but you record over 1400. I think I am interpreting the dates incorrectly, are using week start dates and the chart week end dates? Data would be clearer if DeSantis would be transparent and report daily.

Actually, Mach I happen to be that conservative and you are again confused and/or intentionally misrepresenting what I stated. I said the best estimates of the infection fatality rate (IFR) of the average seasonal flu and the Wuhan virus are similar. You posted a link to the Imperial College of London's dubious speculation that the IFR for the Wuhan virus was 1.15%. I rebutted that dubious claim and provided you with an article by one of the world's top epidemiologist Dr. John Ioannidis [who happens to in the top 10 most cited researchers in the world that indicates his peers see Dr. Ioannidis as a real expert]. Here is the relevant part of my post #3835 in the "Study Finds Face Masks Didn't Slow Spread of Covid-19" thread.

" .... I think most research suggests the seasonal flu has an IFR of around 0.1 to 0.2%. The Imperial College of London was estimating the IFR for the Wuhan virus at about 6% back in March 2020 so they seem to be moving in the right direction. The true IFR for COVID-19 appears roughly comparable to the average seasonal flu. Here is the conclusion from the best and most comprehensive estimate of the IFR for SARS-CoV2:

"All systematic evaluations of seroprevalence data converge that SARS-CoV-2 infection is widely spread globally. Acknowledging residual uncertainties, the available evidence suggests average global IFR of ~0.15% and ~1.5-2.0 billion infections by February 2021 with substantial differences in IFR and in infection spread across continents, countries and locations." John Ioannidis at Stanford University More here:

Are you are curious if Mach had a successful rebuttal to my post #3835 in that other thread? Well the short answer is Mach disappeared and has never posted again in that debate thread - now at 3905 posts. Well Mach now you have yet another chance to explain to us why you are here trying to spin the truth about your failure to produce a cogent rebuttal to my post #3835. RealityChecker

No doubt about it, shot down by the courts on mask mandates, made my day.

"Study Finds Face Masks Didn't Slow Spread of Covid-19"

Exactly what study are you referring to, please give a link to the study that says face masks don't work ..they don't stop the the spread of Covid. Common sense without any studies
says they do. They act as a barrier, its a no brainer.

I think your ideas are political not rooted in science. All the leading doctors and scientist say face mask work. Its political whack jobs like DeSantis who buck simple common sense.

These aren't "studies" but they are real life situations of what is happening in Louisiana after the Governor reinstated a mask mandate and in the UK after a mask mandate was terminated. In LA cases are dropping fairly dramatically and in the UK they are on an alarming rise. Be interesting to see what happens in schools that instituted mask mandates and schools that didn't.

Odd is putting it lightly ..its the pandemic of the unvaccinaed many of which are conservative. However, many anti mask conservatives are quietly getting vaccinated ..afraid of what there preaching. Hypocrites.

Well, I'll give you this ..this Covid thingy is far from being over. The Delta strain is affecting fully vaccinated individuals now and newer strains are now being discovered. The question for me is this ..is mother nature finally putting her foot down with humanity ..will she save herself from us and the destruction we cause by getting rid of us. Are we, indeed, the plague.

 

[Callen]

Apologies I inadvertently posted the same link twice in post #16.

This is the appropriate link showing Louisianna cases on the decline since the mask mandate was imposed. This is just one story, there are several more from other areas in LA.

This is the link showing the opposite in the UK. Cases of the rise since the removal of their mask mandate.

I need some help interpreting the charts you provide and the numbers you quote. How does the number you quote relate to the chart.

I think I am interpreting the dates incorrectly, are using week start dates and the chart week end dates? Data would be clearer if DeSantis would be transparent and report daily.

Yeah, it's confusing, they are surely doing that on purpose, bottom line is the trend can be seen in the total number of deaths reported week to week using their info.

Guess it might be better to just show the weekly death increase on the the graph and label them as report date, like this here.



Here are the numbers again.

Date of report (total number of deaths) increase from previous weeks report

06-04 (36,985)
06-11 (37,265) + 280
06-18 (37,555) + 290
06-25 (37,772) + 217
07-02 (37.985) + 213
07-09 (38,157) + 172
07-16 (38,388) + 231
07-23 (38,670) + 282
07-30 (39,079) + 409
08-06 (39,695) + 616
08-13 (40,766) + 1,071
08-20 (42,252) + 1,486
08-27 (43,979) + 1,727

Still not sure why their latest graph below is showing a decrease in deaths when their own numbers on their own reports show a increase.

Exactly what study are you referring to, please give a link to the study that says face masks don't work ..they don't stop the the spread of Covid. Common sense without any studies says they do. They act as a barrier, its a no brainer.

Actually, the scientific evidence shows paper surgical masks do not significantly reduce the risk of catching the Wuhan virus. Does a chicken wire fence act as a barrier to keep mosquitos out of your back yard? Actually you need a screen to stop mosquitos because they cannot slip between the wires. So if you are going to discuss the efficacy of face masks you have to specify which ones can filter out most aerosols (like properly fitted N-95 masks) or virtually all aerosols such as N-100 masks.

I think your ideas are political not rooted in science. All the leading doctors and scientist say face mask work. Its political whack jobs like DeSantis who buck simple common sense.

You think wrong. All competent researchers and MDs do not claim all masks are effective. Some are and some clearly have little or not benefit. Florida has more people and more older people than NY and yet the deaths with CoVID-19 are significantly higher in NY than FL. Same is true for NJ, MA, CT, MI, and many other states if we look at deaths per capita, and especially if we correct the deaths based on the demographic of the state. That is what science demands and using that criteria your claim that DeSantis is the governor bucking common sense is out of sync with reality. So it appears to me you have it backwards as I am the one posting links to scientific data to support my claims and you are the one making what appears to be claims motivated by political zeal. Here are the facts:

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023| Statista

As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.

I find it odd that the Republican party is actually trying to kill off it's own voters

That's what's freaking them out. They didn't mind the pandemic in early 2020 when it was killing off primarily Democratic voters. Now that it's hitting their own, they're in panic mode.

They should have never made COVID-19 a partisan issue in the first place.

 

[Slavister]

Still not sure why their latest graph below is showing a decrease in deaths when their own numbers on their own reports show a increase.

You can check but my guess is they report N deaths and then spread them out onto the past weeks based on when those deaths had happened rather than dumping them all onto the week when they got reported. Thus over time, prior bars should grow while latest bars will always show a decrease.

E.g. look at how 7/30/21 line grows in your consecutive graphs for a number of weeks after 7/30/21...

Common sense solutions would include getting vaccinated along with a booster as soon as it becomes available. There are ways to get a booster now, but I won't go any further with that. As far as paper mask go ..double up on them for a 40% to 50% effectiveness rate. That matters, what doesn't are these right wing zealots who are against all masks.
