I assume that you mean death rates rather that date rates
In Florida we are keeping the cases very manageable but take a look at the attachments. See what happens when you vaccinate the population that is dying from the virus, Cases stay even or up - but well below the 10% goal that was touted last summer to keep from over crowding the health care system. Deaths are down dramatically . Look at the median age of the new cases - 35 or 6-7 years below the median age of the Florida population. I feel sure that the lowering of the median ages of cases will start to show up in the next few weeks. Two months ago it was in the 41-42 range which matched the median age of the general population, BTW the under 25 year old death count is still stuck on 50 and the under 35 deaths at 334 out of a population of about 8 million. We need to close the schools! 😁
