Delta smacked Florida hard and that’s only a few months ago. They are seeing significant uptick to Omicron, too.
FL never reports daily numbers of significance. They take weeks to accumulate, so the Omicron peak on the graph shows nearly 200 daily dead mid Jan, then sharply down. The sharply down is mostly delayed reporting. When we were monitoring FL in mid Jan they were reporting 1 and 2 deaths on those days, because they had not arrived yet at the tabulator.

FL gets serious sunshine. Gotta help Vit D wise.
I believe the Worldometers charts show a lag line where the data is not yet current, and I think that was beyond mid January. At any rate looking at another chart it appears the hospitalization surge occurred at the end of Dec. This could have been due to holiday parties and visiting including more than usual numbers of out of state visitors. A two week lag from illness to death seems about right.
