https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-03/florida-deaths-at-record-kids-hit-by-delta-wave-virus-update ** Florida’s Newly Reported Deaths Jump to Record (5:58 p.m. NY) Florida reported 2,345 additional Covid-19 deaths in its latest weekly report, the most ever in a similar period. The daily average rose 36% to 335, according to calculations based on data in the report. That would surpass the high for the entire pandemic in Johns Hopkins University data. The data is based on when the death was reported, not when it occurred. People 65-and-over accounted for 63% of the deaths. Cumulatively over the entire pandemic, Florida seniors have made up 79% of deaths.
