[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well with Florida, people will say their numbers are wonky, they aren't reporting correctly, they're hiding the data.  Florida does have an issue with death reporting being behind, but if you look at their state dashboard:  https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/ there hasn't been a surge after schools opened.  Cases and positivity have stayed steady.  Deaths have steadily declined.

I typically visit each state's health department dashboard to see the numbers.  The NYT has an easy to read chart too:  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/florida-coronavirus-cases.html[/quote]

But this has been a problem with Florida all along, even before schools opened. Their early summer surge was hard to miss, even with the underreporting.  Hospitals in south FL especially were overrun.  So if school openings do lead to a surge, I suspect we’ll see it eventually, even with imperfect reporting.

Mississippi schools have largely been open, with most giving a remote option.  Their numbers have been fairly steady the last few weeks- still higher than around here for sure, but do not seem to be increasing further.[/quote]
