People really need to stop trying to use “statistics” as if they know what they are doing.
Comparing Florida to NY is just not an accurate exercise.
NY has its population centered in a couple of small land areas (NYC and then maybe Buffalo.) Outside the city and upstate, the population is sparse and spread out.
In FLA there are some large swaths of popuation—but the remainder of the state is large farmland areas.
Florida is still living outdoors. NY is moving indoors this week with cold temps and snow.
The comparisons continue to be disjointed when you look at age, ethnicity, and modes of transportation.
You might as well compare New York to the moon.
Nonsense, the moon has better management.
