Interesting..... As of yesterday, there are TWO Florida health "Dashboard" posting COVID state and county statistics--and the two sides are wildly different.

The older site is posted by the Department of Health--and Dashboard data for the site appears to be missing, with the flag that the site is "not properly configured".

The newer site apparently has been created by the ex-Department of Health that used to run the DOH dashboard, who since has been fired. Data on this side is significantly different (higher) than what used to be posted in the DOH website.

Frustrating.... Unable to do any trending due to the two inconsistent/conflicting websites--one with no data at all(!). In addition, there are other sites with Florida COVID data....and these tend to conflict with either of the two I've tried to use.

Sorry, but there's no value in me posting trending data, when the data is useless.

Does the Florida Department of Health have "it's act together", or is there an on-going political battle that had clouded the fact that as residents, we need honest, accurate, and consistent data??????

I'm fairly sure it is the ongoing politics versus public health battle. Politicians, especially the ones we have now at the Federal and State levels, cannot function or get re-elected without "economic growth". With no other way to justify their agenda, they will simply try to muddle up the data, and complicate the testing as long as they can. Our County officials have no clue how to proceed. There is no leadership at any level, so we have to "crowd source" some level of intelligence and empathy towards our fellow human beings. The only thing I can find to do is continue to wear my mask and practice distancing, and just continue to do so, whether anybody else does it or not.
