We have at least one local CVS that does free rapid testing with results in 2-4 hours. Unfortunately, the lines are long and they strongly recommend appointments. I would love to see more sites doing these types of tests in the area.

We don't basically have that at all.
That's a ridiculous comparison.

It isn't accurate because Florida doesn't report recovered. Maybe a few counties do. A while ago they (worldometers) were just subtracting deaths from total cases to get the active count.Coronavirus Update (Live): 137,483,333 Cases and 2,962,790 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer

If you look at a state that does report recoveries (like Tennessee) you'll find that for States with a similar time frame spike "recovered" is about 90% of total cases to date. The ratio for Florida would be similar using the same criteria for recovery.

Looking into Worldometers data they only show one county, Hillsborough , reporting active cases. Not sure where they are getting their active case number from since it is not Total minus deaths.

Well, since COVID19 originated in Wuhan China the stats have been varied depending on the source. I just know COVID19 is an equal opportunity serious infector that is highly contagious and for most people not a death sentence. WDW has protocols in place to reasonably deal with the illness while operating, limited operations but working, while the medical and scientific community work on ways to ultimately address the disease. Political and legal issues will continue to evolve after COVID19 is resolved, yes, even after the overwhelming mask issue is history. I just know that for all the limitations WDW is still an opportunity look at things through the eyes of a child and ever so briefly not be bothered with all that is wrong in the world. Ok, an adult beverage does not hurt either.

8 straight days with a positivity rate below 5%. 11 of the last 14. Hopefully they are and can use this as an opportunity to be a bit more strategic around targeting cases and outbreaks in certain areas.

Case numbers not moving the right way. Only 3 days out of 14 below the 2,100 daily cases need to get off the primary travel quarantine lists. It looks like it will still be a while for that. Not good news for WDW
At least testing is up but the impact of bar re-openings isn’t baked into these numbers yet.

Obviously they get from more than one source. Hillborough reported 5,000+ The state has 400,000+ The footnotes (1,2,3) show where the data is interpolated from.

Nor the full impact of Labor Day. Like you said, at least volume has returned, and new case positivity isn’t through the roof.Case numbers not moving the right way. Only 3 days out of 14 below the 2,100 daily cases need to get off the primary travel quarantine lists. It looks like it will still be a while for that. Not good news for WDW
Hopefully they contain this time around.

If only contact tracing existed.

It does as you know. But it’s not easy. Hopefully they can do better this time around.If only contact tracing existed.

I know it exists. No it's not easy to do but I can be done. A good place to start is when ever an employee at any business tests positive that company has to release it so the public can get tested if need be. They have done it here from the beginning. It has helped a lot and no business has suffered from it like many claim would happen.

It’s not easy and at this point is mostly a lost cause. We had ample time to try to setup a better contact tracing system nationwide and in various states. We didn’t and that ship has pretty much sailed at this point. We just have to accept that the only way we get this virus contained is a vaccine. All our eggs are in that one basket. I just pray it comes through.
