New Florida Community Coronavirus Dashboard

Regarding the new Florida's Community Coronavirus Dashboard put together by the fired scientist Rebekah Jones, who developed the FDOH Dashboard:

The primary difference in the case numbers on the new dashboard as compared to the FDOH dashboard is that the number of positive antibody tests is added to the case numbers established from positive swab tests.

They are including information that we have been pulling from FDEM to augment FDOH data.

So, the wonderful additional information on the new dashboard includes data that is available on other feeds or platforms, but is compiled here:

• Economic and Social Impact of COVID
• Percent unemployed
• A Breakout on Bed availability by facility, ER admissions and ICU Beds
• Test sites!!! (These are very difficult to keep up with, since some are only open in one location for 4 hours. This is the 4th test site source we will add to our protocol. There is no substitute for people in the community posting the changes, because sometimes the sites are closed if there isn't enough demand, but no announcement is published.)

Also included on the new dashboard are:

• A social distancing score (calculated by average distance from pre-COVID-19 days, visits to non-essential venues, and changes in encounter density
• A Reopening Report Card score
