What is the deal on Florida's covid stats on Worldometer?

[Hamlette]

For weeks Florida has been posting horrid infection rates yet the death rate is unbelievably low

For instance, Texas and Florida are currently showing 17,000 new cases per state while the Texas death rate is nearly 400 for the day but Florida's is 3.

Is there a better site to see how many are really dying?

1. DeSantis may be playing a very dangerous game.

He went far right on social policy. The results were predictable. But if he is cooking the stats, this could be viewed as a criminal act.

2. I certainly noticed the unrealistic

numbers in FL. Their governor is cooking the books. I guess he is stupid enough to think everyone else is as stupid as he is and won't question the numbers.

4. From today:

Florida appears to be emerging from the worst of the delta wave with health officials reporting 100,012 new COVID cases for the week ending Sept. 9, a 34% decline from the total new cases just two weeks ago.

Another sign of improvement: The positivity rate declined to 13.5% from 15.2% a week earlier.

Deaths, however, continue to rise. Florida reported one of its highest weekly numbers with 2,448 additional deaths from COVID, a jump from 2,325 additional deaths reported a week earlier and 1,727 additional deaths reported two weeks ago. Because of a lag, Florida’s daily death counts this week reflect the aftermath of record hospitalizations seen two to three weeks ago.

The death toll includes all ages: The majority are people 65 or older, but 324 deaths have occurred in people younger than 29. Of those younger deaths, 69 were reported in the last seven days. Deaths can take several days or weeks to be reported to the state.

5. Florida decided to change the way the post data.

Instead of the “death date” being the day the death is reported they are reporting the actual day of the death. This leads to “back dating” deaths. So the number of past deaths changes over time. This makes it difficult to know what the hell is happening which is, of course, the entire point.

6. that's it, thanks

when I look at the chart for Florida back a few days or weeks there are MANY more deaths than are being reported each day.

What pricks.

8. Just one really big prick. He thinks he can hide the

the truth but it’s going to come out. Not a hole deep enough or dark enough to match his evil little soul.

7. Florida plays games with the numbers.

They delay reporting and deaths get added back later to previous dates. Scroll down and look at the deaths graph for Florida on Worldometers, it shows what has been going on pretty clearly. Don't be fooled by the apparent huge drop-off in deaths in the last few weeks - some don't get reported for a month or more.

9. I think Florida is averaging 330 per day for deaths.

Typo maybe or you misread it? I don't know.
