Not clear, but would assume just the daily reports?
"Gov. Ron DeSantis' press secretary Christina Pushaw told The News Service of Florida on Friday that there is no need to keep issuing the daily reports.
“COVID-19 cases have significantly decreased over the past year as we have a less than 5% positivity rate, and our state is returning to normal, with vaccines widely available throughout Florida,” Pushaw said in an email.
As of Friday afternoon, Pushaw had not yet responded to a follow-up question on when the last daily report will come out."
Governor's office: Florida will no longer release daily COVID-19 case, death reports
But a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic remains in effect through the end of June.www.tallahassee.com
It was previously announced that the reports would be weekly. This may have changed though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were totally gone.

Cause it is over. If you go by the little rules still in place its over..
"Over" from a rules standpoint isn't the same as "it's over - and oh, by the way, the public doesn't need to worry about pesky things like knowing how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths there are anymore." A weekly report is one thing. No reports at all? Sounds a bit like someone is claiming victory before the fight is truly over.

He pretty much claimed victory back in September and has been claiming it ever since despite raging cases, hospitalizations and deaths all Winter long. More than twice as many people have died from Covid in FL since declaring victory in Sept 2020 than died before September. Everyone has their own definition of victory I guess
A weekly report seems fine to me. It’s going that way in a lot of other places too.
I hate the idea of stopping the daily numbers now. It would be one thing if Vermont, which is down to one case per 100,000 went to 1 to 3 times a week but Florida is still at 8 cases per 100,000 and above the national average. This is clearly a mistake and must be corrected.Not clear, but would assume just the daily reports?

I like daily reports, if only because cases are dropping rapidly in my area and it's a daily dose of good news.
It also sends the message that this is still being monitored because it's still serious, so get vaccinated, wear a mask where appropriate, etc.

You can't think that way. It's too doom and gloom around here.

Lost in the shuffle of today’s language update for WDW is the notion that they are tipping their hand at more outdoor shows coming back. The language distinguished indoor vs outdoor shows but the only outdoor show right now is the bird thing at AK. I doubt they bothered to make an update for just that show. More outdoor shows coming back any time now

It may be an unpopular opinion, but bring back BatB ASAP.Lost in the shuffle of today’s language update for WDW is the notion that they are tipping their hand at more outdoor shows coming back.

May happen this Summer. They are working on the theater but I have no idea how long that work will last. CMs would need to come back first and I would guess would need a month or so to get it ready but it’s only the beginning of June. Plenty of Summer left.

Daily numbers have never been particularly useful, there are just two many things that skew the data.

How about they make you wear a Batman style mask that covers your top half of your face but leaves the bottom open. This way people fix their messed up tan lines

I thought I read that they will issue them weekly going forward. Also, I wonder if the raw data will be entered in real time and they just aren't issuing the PDF reports. I remember something about issuing the reports daily being a significant expense.Not clear, but would assume just the daily reports?

The daily numbers have never been particularly useful anyway since the testing fluctuates so much day to day. The hospital reports will provide insight into if there is a problem developing.

Ironic that they were dressed at Spiderman and Ironman, both of which got their powers through experimental means.

I heard now they are just going to require an eye patch and nose plugs!
