It's been 3 weeks since @GovRonDeSantis moved Florida to Phase 3, abolishing occupancy restrictions at restaurants and bars and making individual penalties unenforceable. Many people predicted doom, so let's see how things are going.

1. Hospitalizations - hmm, no problem there
2. Cases - some increase, but really things are just bouncing around with the number of daily tests. We're close to where we were just before entering Phase 3:
3. CLI - the percentage of emergency department visits for COVID-like illness - at its lowest level in months.

How to get an endless pandemic:

1. Use a test that detects fragments of the virus and then designate every positive test as a "case."
2. Test at a massive scale, including people who are asymptomatic.

1/4
3. Issue guidance that every death with a positive test should be counted as a COVID death.

These are surveillance tools that have morphed into tools for control of every part of our lives.

2/4
Now that the metrics are being used as evidence that we need to stay locked down and wear masks, we need more accurate tests (lower cycle threshold) and more scrutiny of primary causes of deaths.
