Let's hope Florida is nearly done mining their death certificates.
The median age of today's deaths was 93.
In case you haven't studied math in a while, that means that half of the 149 deaths reported today - HALF! - were older than 93.

85% of the deaths reported today were 85 years of age or older.
@HealthyFla doesn't provide dates of deaths in the case line data, but we can compare today's list with yesterday's list.

The earliest date of death in today's report was July 15, but 3 people on the list tested positive in May. That means a minimum of 60 days from testing positive to dying.
Another 2 had positive tests >30 days before the earliest death.

As I said earlier, let's hope they're nearly done...
