I’m sorry, but I am going to keep asking the same question until someone explains why this is inconsistent. Your headline says there were a total of 28 new cases yesterday, July 24. However, the FDOH dashboard in the article is not the one that was posted at 11am this morning. The more recent one shows 919 total cases through July 24. The previous day the total was 865. If my math is correct that is an increase of 54 cases, not 28 on July 24. To make matters worse, the bar graph at the bottom of today’s most recently posted dashboard claims there were only 26 new cases yesterday. THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL NUMBERS FROM THE FDOH. Either someone is cooking the books or the person now in charge of the dashboard is totally incompetent.
Jay,
As I replied to your last post, the Florida Department of Health provides the figures for the state and Nassau County. The 28 you are seeing is like the headline says, the daily total of Coronavirus cases for Nassau County.
I TOO AM USING THEIR NUMBERS FOR NASSAU COUNTY. THEIR CHARTS ARE INTERNALLY INCONSISTENT. THAT IS A FACT.
You should let them know.
