BTW, looking at FL Rt=1.06 from rt.live I am officially scared for the rest of the country. Not sure if Rt from rt.live is helpful, NY Rt=1.07

numbers in FL.. you said its 1.06.. but reality is 1.3 average
it managed a 1.07 for the last half of May but by june 3rd numbers were above 1.1

heck even just looking at a graph you can see that the upward angle is not a low 1.0X amount
....

FL is at 1.03

https://rt.live/us/FL

...But I suggest waiting a week or two on FL, there have been massive errors reported from there, over reporting covid and deaths.

It may actually be <1.0

the cases graph is ACTAULLY / not _

by the way the "error" is not thats there are more or less positive cases. its just that they didnt include the negative cases to show the ratio of positive to negative

yet graphs of positive cases have only shown positive cases and dont include the negative cases. so it wouldnt have any impact

there is already too many people just asking for a test even without having symptoms. so the negative test numbers become a meaningless statistic that explains nothing.

if there were only ~10k cases a day. and labs can do 20millions tests a day. it will still show only ~10k positive tests.
negative tests are irrelevant. no matter how many they can do or not report about the ones not positive. it doesnt affect the positive tests

You almost make it sound like doctors know what they are doing. But since there are multitudes of people who die under their care, is this something you really want to be talking like?

Cool
