It's not a glitch, it's true across many states but it's particularly bad in Florida.
Death rate is declining and is half of what it was last month. Positivitvity % rate is flat.
The positivity rate has been reported on as being fucked with. Here's how, front line medical professionals and old-folks-home caretakers are being tested many times in the course of their work. Each negative test is counted, but every positive test is counted only once.
So the positivity data is misleading but the case number data is accurate for your discussion even though they are from the same source? How can we have a discussion if you cherry pick the data from the same source.

Positivity data is misleading.
Case number data suffers from a systematic testing under provisioning (estimates of actual prevalence: http://covid19-projections.com by @youyanggu who has had the best projection track record)

Okay fine I’ll play, so case numbers are going up but deaths are still decreasing. More than half! Of what it was 30 days ago. And we are 45 days after opening. Which means fatality rate was very overestimated.

Seems like a weird stat to use. The CFR only accounts for somebody that went in tested positive and then later died. Obviously that is going to artificially pump the % up. WHO report says around 80% of cases are mild or asyptomatic. CFR neglects a majority of infections.
It's not a weird stat. Yes it misses things, epidemiologists all know this. It's the best measure that we have of this with real data. Corrections: excess deaths not counted but directly attributable, excess deaths not counted but indirectly attributable untested cases.
