There are a number of statistics to look at. For the entire country, 37.6M tests have been performed, which is about 114K for every 1M. The cumulative positivity rate for the country is 7.9%, and the mortality rate (based on deaths divided by total number of infections) is about 4.5% currently. For Florida, 2.2M test have been performed, which is about 102K for each 1M of population, and the cumulative positivity rate is about 10% for all tested but 9.1% for only residents. However, the cumulative mortality rate is only around 1.86% in Florida - most likely due to the governor cutting off access to nursing homes early in the process. In Florida, there has been 174 deaths for every 1M of residents, but for the overall country, there has been 401 deaths per 1M. For Indiana, testing is not as high. Indiana has tested 77K for every 1M, the cumulative positivity rate is 9.2%, but the mortality rate is 5.6% - three times higher than Florida. However, as the post above noted, all mortality and hospitalization rates plummet every time someone asserts that the actual number of infected people greatly exceeds the test results.
What else do these different state results mean? Every state has a different story. Frankly, for Indiana, what does the high mortality rate mean? It probably means that Indiana hasn't had enough hot spots where the healthy residents felt compelled to get tested. Florida is a state that allows bars - establishments that can serve liquor without serving food. In Virginia, liquor only bars don't exist. Same is true for other states. One Florida hot spot bar near UCF (a dive bar if there ever was one) created panic testing.
This will be the week where there has to be more conclusions about Covid hospitality rates and mortality rates related solely to the post Memorial Day spike.
Most colleges are not requiring testing to get back on campus (except for athletes). But all colleges have the same rules....if you get sick, you must get tested. If positive - you must enter 14 day quarantining. Lots of students are getting tested before leaving home....if they can.
