    I want daily numbers too. A weekly report makes it much more difficult to see a trend. I believe when it gets cold, we’re going to see an uptick in numbers.

    I heard on the news this morning that our Governor wants to stop the daily reporting of Covid19. Possibly going to a weekly number. Cases are rising and I feel Gov. DeSantis, like Trump, just wants it to go away. I would like to continue seeing the daily numbers.
