In the nine full days since my last check (there are no new reporting numbers for today - it is early), Florida has added 17,721 new cases and 413 new deaths daily. 1 in every 21 Floridians now has Covid. To put things in perspective, since tomorrow is 9/11, 2,996 people died in the September 11th attacks. Florida is losing more than that each week to Covid.Meanwhile, here in Florida, our Governor is still proudly declaring Florida "open for business". 
 
Sure, if you are in the funeral industry, business is booming.
