No one cares about new cases now, it’s coffins that get attention. Trump’s August Jacksonville rally will only be at risk of cancelation if the Covid19 deaths in Florida spike beforehand. Total deaths reported by the State of Florida are 3,018, vs. over 24,600 in New York. Looking at the causes of death in Florida in 2018, Covid19’s 3,018 total is hardly a blip. Given the governor‘s pro Trump leanings, Covid19 is going to have to kill a lot more Floridians in July before Trump’s rally is impacted.
Changes in the number of cases can be argued away with increases in the total number of tests. But increasing body counts are harder (but not impossible if coroners/hospitals are creative in cause of death declarations) to ignore.
