I think you almost have to toss out the last couple of days when the testing was low to look at trends. Compared to 7/31 which is the last day they reported 100K+ tests done the total positive is down almost 2K cases and the percent positive is down over 2.5%. Pretty good. If that trend continues it could be a legit turning of the corner and a start of the downward slope of the curve. We are right around what should have been the turning point of the 3 month arc that occurred in most of the original outbreaks (Wuhan, Italy, NYC).
The difference being that Florida did not take the more "extreme" measures that the 3 places you listed did. So if the curve follows the same pattern with halfhearted mitigation measures, it makes you wonder about the "herd immunity" theories and/or possible benefits
