In response to "Sure, but if those increases in positive cases don't result in hospitalization or death, then that increase is really moot." by JaxSean

The thing that's difficult to understand on this is the pacing. Hospitalizations don't happen immediately.

People get sick and then gradually decline.

So, the six percent of positive tests today leads to more hospitalizations in a couple of weeks.

Having said that, June 11 listed 226 hospitalizations in Florida, the most since May 20 and tied for four-most overall. It's three hospitalizations away from tying for second.

So, yesterday WAS one of the worst days in Florida since the pandemic began, and today is looking much worse.
