Several counties reported high numbers, including 23 for Palm Beach County, 16 for Miami-Dade (not abnormal), and 13 for Seminole (which only has 463 deaths total, compared to 5,767 for Dade), so today may have been a catch-up day. We'll see in the coming days.

Gainesville has a tradition of painting messages on a specific wall. Today, a group of parents painted anti-mask messages for @GovRonDeSantis, Alachua County, and the school board.
I've been noting lately that the share of reported COVID deaths in Florida that are 65 and older seems to be trending down. Now @LenCabrera has produced charts of the percentage of deaths reported on each date since September 1 that are 65+, along with a 7-day average line.

The median age of reported deaths has also been trending down since mid-February, although it's not as dramatic, and the raw data is pretty noisy.

Now looking at deaths by CaseDate (date of positive test result) instead of reported date, it is clear that the percentage of 65+ has been falling since early February. However, the data for the past month or so is incomplete.
