Because many test sites, just like many coroners, don't report results on the weekends.

These are the early morning reports from Fridays (initially reported mid-morning Thursdays):

12 Feb 1806805
19 Feb 1849744
26 Feb 1892301
05 Mar 1930232
12 Mar 1962651
19 Mar 1994117

The last three numbers suggest that FL WAS plateauing at about 32K cases a week, BUT given spring breaking there may be "crushing spikes" in the future, not only in FL but elsewhere.
