I wonder if this has anything to do with the spike.
Florida prison reports over 300 inmates positive for COVID-19

Florida’s prison system has shown a large increase in recent days in the number of inmates with COVID-19, with Walton Correctional Institution in DeFuniak Springs reporting Monday that 315 new inmates tested positive.

We are over twice as infected as every other county but one. Twice as much! Either we have a really bad problem or the rest of the counties are better at fudging their numbers. (Or both.)

Looks like the DOC positives may be the spike.
