Despite What You've Heard, The COVID Crisis Probably Peaked Two Weeks Ago

"Florida sets new daily mark for COVID-19 deaths while DeSantis finds 'positive trends.'".

On Wednesday, Florida reported a record high 216 deaths and "The grim news comes a day after the state set the record with 186 virus-related deaths," as NBC Miami put it.

The record high for the daily number of deaths in the state appears to have been on July 16, when 123 people in the state were known to have died with the disease.

The gray bars represent when deaths are reported by Florida, and the red bars are when the deaths actually occurred.

What the numbers show is that the virus peaked in that state around mid-July.

Hospital admissions in Florida appear to have peaked more than a week ago.

If the crisis is passing in states such as Florida, Texas, Arizona and elsewhere, shouldn't the public know about that? And why are the media acting as though it's getting worse?
