Some people seem to think that when I say COVID has peaked in FL, that means I'm saying it's "done" or "over." Or that COVID is gone.
Obvious, "peaked" means "maximum," which is the opposite of "done." But it also means it is no longer increasing.

Everywhere, COVID has come in waves. Once CLI and hospitalizations start falling, deaths follow (with lags for disease progression and reporting).
Hospitalizations in FL started falling on January 14.

This does not mean COVID has disappeared or that there is no risk. What it means is that we're heading into a low-prevalence period (not there yet), just as vaccinations are ramping up. This is great news!
