Mayo Clinic cardiologist shoots down PSU myocarditis numbers

Not sure. I'm more perplexed that Florida would claim a 9 point swing in percentage of those testing positive in a day.
I would hitch myself to the more consistent percentage. Viruses are lessened incrementally. That 5.97 sticks out like a sore thumb. Especially when the next day the percentage is back to normal.
That's not what the former head of Florida's coronavirus data reporting system said, and I have no reason to doubt her claims.
Florida Health Department manager told to delete coronavirus data is ousted
She said she was offered a settlement and the option to resign in lieu of being fired.
Where are you getting this? New Cases 5.94% today and 4.94% yesterday according to the release......
that was coming from Johns Hopkins who determine their own case rates using their formula based on data pulled from The Atlantic, oops... I mean the covid tracking project.
JHU reports 1823 new cases and 15189 total tests for 12%. And I read it wrong earlier, the 7 day average is 13.5%
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states/florida
The state of Florida website reported 2056 new cases today and 14375 new tests at 14.3%.

Would be nice if there was one trusted source to draw consistent information from.
like the actual dashboard reported by Florida DOH?
You’re assuming a player, enrolled in school as an athlete is safer than a regular student... this is false.
The highest risk environment for any student is arguably where they sleep which is independent of their status as an athlete.
If you want to argue that all students should be mandated to not return to dorms or apartments, do only virtual learning and be forcibly prevented from going to restaurants bars then fine... I agree that such a rule would reduce COVID risk.
Anything short of that will not significantly reduce the risk of a group of people to COVID and therefore is a moot point.
Given all the variables, remove the major pressure points such as eligibility (already done) and let the student athletes make up their own mind.
No, Johns Hopkins University doesn't get their data from The Atlantic magazine. Nice try, though.

--snip-- Positivity Rates: Our calculation, which is applied consistently across the site and predates most states’ test positivity tracking efforts, looks at number of cases divided by number of negative tests plus number of cases. We feel that the ideal way to calculate positivity would be number of people who test positive divided by number of people who are tested. We feel this is currently the best way to track positivity because some states include in their testing totals duplicative tests obtained in succession on the same individual, as well as unrelated antibody tests. However, many states are unable to track number of people tested, so they only track number of tests. Because states do not all publish number of positive and number of negative tests per day, we have no choice but to calculate positivity via our approach. We describe our methodology as well as our data source (COVID Tracking Project) clearly on the site. --snip--

Ok, I stand corrected. I didn't realize that The Atlantic had started this initiative. Good for them. They are providing an important contribution to public health. Unfortunately, no other entity appears to be compiling such an extensive set of data on this pandemic.emphasis added

Well, the White House choose to use The Atlantic's Covid Project:
"The White House chose the COVID Tracking Project as the best source to cite for daily US test numbers in its “Opening Up America Again” testing strategy."

Probably because data from official sources in some states may be seen as not being accurate.
perhaps The Atlantic overreached a bit on that self-serving statement? the core data that the White House uses on its coronavirus taskforce documents is typically derived from usafacts.org.Well, the White House choose to use The Atlantic's Covid Project:

Florida coronavirus cases and deaths
How is Florida faring against COVID-19, both overall and at a state level? Get the answers here, with data on hotspots and infection rates. This map tracks the history of coronavirus cases in Florida, both recent and all-time.

How fortunate we ALL are to live in a country where 75 years ago millions of 18-22 year olds were in life and death situations with zero ability to make a decision about it, so that today's same age group can make that decision.
Let's all hope we are making good decisions for ourselves every day, and that we come through this alive and well.
Careful. She might stalk you too.That's not what the former head of Florida's coronavirus data reporting system said, and I have no reason to doubt her claims.
