On 3 September 2021, the Orlando Sentinel ran a story titled

Florida reports 2,345 COVID deaths, over 129,000 cases this week

which included text

The state Department of Health reported 129,240 new coronavirus cases this week among Florida residents to bring the cumulative total to 3,308,916. With 2,345 more fatalities on record, 46,324 Florida residents have died. This week’s 2,345 deaths reflect an increase from the 1,727 reported last week, but deaths can take several days or weeks to be reported. The number of weekly cases decreased by 22,520 compared to the previous week’s 151,760. Positivity decreased to 15.2%, but that’s for new cases only and excludes anyone who previously tested positive.

Across the state, 13,143 people are hospitalized with COVID-19 for the seven-day period from Aug. 24-30, according to the latest White House report. In comparison, 14,833 were hospitalized the previous week. The week before that, it was 16,087. Statewide, 13,124,436 residents, or 69% of people age 12 and up, have received at least one vaccination shot, including 10,880,393 who have completed their shot regimens through Sept. 2.


A yahoo news report included the text:

As of mid-August, the state was averaging 244 deaths per day, up from just 23 a day in late June and eclipsing the previous peak of 227 during the summer of 2020. (Because of both the way deaths are logged in Florida and lags in reporting, more recent figures on fatalities per day are incomplete.)

The 2021 population of Florida is estimated as 21.6 million. 262 / 21.6 X 106 gives 1.2 per 100,000, as reported by the CDC.
