Florida still has roughly triple the Covid-19 cases it had back in June. https://twitter.com/weartv/status/1309528944803184645
Here are the numbers: Florida averaged around 800 to 900 Covid-19 cases each day in June. It now averages around 2,700.
Florida hasn't finished suppressing its last outbreak before doing something that will almost certainly invite another.

The higher case count is not really explained by more testing, either. Florida had a test positive rate (used to gauge testing capacity) of around 3 percent at the start of June. It's now about 11 percent. That means relative testing capacity has gotten *worse*, not better.
To be clear: Those June case numbers are from early June. By the end of June, Covid-19 cases in Florida were at about 7,000 a day. So things have improved, just nowhere near enough to say that the outbreak is over.
