Why can't you fools stop spreading and catching the Chinavirus. You have ruined my business and ruined my life and continue to ruin everyone's lives. Why can't you take off your shoes when you go home and immediately wash your hands and face, why can't you stop coughing and sneezing on people? Why don't you dummies wear a simple 10cent mask when around people? What's wrong with you idiots? Don't you know about personal hygiene? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:75DF:63DA:B6AF:D009 (talk) 10:49, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Which source should we use for the number of deaths in the infobox?
Florida Department of Health is currently reporting two different number of deaths. Here they report 11 Florida resident deaths. Here they report "Florida deaths". To add to the confusion, the "Florida deaths" was 11 last night, and is 10 now.

I think we need to have a convention for which of these sources we use for the infobox. - MrX 🖋 11:50, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The Department of health is now only reporting the number of cases for Florida residents on the ARCGIS page. We should use the total number of case in Florida reported on the main page. - MrX 🖋 15:41, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Absolutely. There is a lot to write on this subject. I had planned to start writing something, but other things keep coming up. Here is a source that I think is highly relevant: There are many more like it. - MrX 🖋 15:07, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Why is percentage increase of deaths not reported in Florida’s timeline?
Other countries and states pages provide this rate if change which is a critical indicator. Can it be added here? Rauh (talk) 15:52, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think it clutters the graphic and make the information confusing. Maybe we could create a graphic showing the the number of new deaths each day? - MrX 🖋 11:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

DeSantis says open schools, kids aren't threatened by the virus
This particular pandemic is one where, I don’t think nationwide there’s been a single fatality under 25. For whatever reason it just doesn’t seem to threaten, you know, kids.” Doug Weller  talk 17:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Florida officials stopped releasing death list, add?
Florida officials stopped releasing the list of coronavirus deaths being compiled by Florida’s medical examiners. Earlier this month, the medical examiners’ death count was 10% higher than the figure released by the Florida Department of Health. X1\ (talk) 06:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

The "All-cause deaths" section : you got to be kidding me.
…shows but a graph chart of data from the Centers for Disease Control. Does the State not have that statistics instead ? The all-causes (notice the ending S marking the grammatical plural) number of deaths should be something very straightforward (for how difficult is it to tally the numbers of death certificates ?), but that CDC web site has it very convoluted. I call major bullshit. &mdash;Jerome Potts (talk) 05:03, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
