According to the COVID-19 Weekly Situation Report: State Overview (
https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/), the weekly COVID infection stats jumped from
10,873 for week of 11/26/2021 to this past week's count of
125,201! Nearly all of the major increases have been in counties where the affectionately called "snow birds" have come down from the northern states to roost for the Winter months. Dade county alone, which encompasses Miami went from
1,801 infections to
52,428 in that time period.
So, gee, Florida says "Thanks y'all!"
