COVID-19 may be under control in Florida but they have an unprecedented “pneumonia” crisis.

Since there are questions as to to the actual size of the pneumonia spike in Florida compared to prior years, I have pulled down a table I used in response to a question.

You can find that chart by others in the thread & there are other articles about the size of the spike.

Care of @foxjust (with great thanks), this is his view of the spike in pneumonia in FL and other states. It indicates an average of 3789 vs 5063 in 2020. This would be 1274 lives or a 33% spike. Data as Justin indicates is noisy.
