How is Florida determining the effective R infection rate when they are doing NEAR ZERO CONTACT TRACING?
By the way R0 (the infection rate at time 0 with no mitigation) is not the same thing as R (the infection rate at a later time with mitigation).
If the best thing "fans" of Florida can point to is the unproven predicted infection rate as a sign that things are going well in their state ---- then things are not going well.
States such as Massachusetts and Connecticut are doing much more full Contact Tracing -- this is probably why their R number is higher. Florida's R number is merely lower since they are attempted to predict it with incomplete data. This is not a good sign for Florida but yet another indication of complete failure to properly address COVID.
You should probably take up your ire with these numbers from the website that created them. The one that has these as its partners:
I know, they must be in league with DeSantis. Can't have any positive data from anyone as it is all BS (in your world). So funny how every source out there that shows anything good in florida is immediately discounted by you. But you'll spam the piss out of us with all sorts of "articles" from anyone and anything that has a bad thing to say and its instantly "Science".
