Florida has the lowest daily average of coronavirus cases per capita in the United States, according to the New York Times’ coronavirus map and case count.
The chart, last updated Saturday, shows the Sunshine State reporting seven new cases per 100,000 — a drop of 28 percent in the last 14 days. Louisiana and Hawaii follow, reporting an average per capita of eight.
As it has been for weeks, blue states are continuing to report significantly higher figures. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) Michigan is reporting 49 cases per capita, the daily average standing at 4,925 cases. That reflects a 26 percent increase in the last two weeks.
cases per capita; the daily average stands at 4,002 — a decrease of one percent in the last 14 days.
And New York, under the leadership of Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), is reporting 21 cases per 100,000, as the daily average stands at 4,004 — significantly higher than Florida’s 1,500.
Florida’s low numbers coincide with DeSantis’s major announcement on Thursday, previewing the state’s lawsuit against the Biden administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vaccine mandate and testing requirements on private businesses with more than 100 employees.
During a press conference on Thursday, DeSantis warned that the mandate is just the “tip of the iceberg”:
I don’t think people want this decision yanked away from them. I don’t think they want to allow a precedent where the federal government could come in and just force you to do what it wants you to do, and make no mistake about it: those individuals who have gone through a normal vaccination series for COVID — you will be determined to be unvaccinated very soon. They will do that.

All the snowbirds are headed here....the cases will go up
Three of my neighbors left this week heading for FL.
Getting quiet in my ‘hood.
Despite busloads of illegals untested and unvaxxed...lowest numbers in the country.
I’m not liking DeSantis any less...
NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.
Our stats are crap.
I think there is herd immunity. It’s over in Florida
By way of comparison, in August 2020 (i.e., the year prior, when no one had been vaccinated) there were 4,787 deaths involving COVID. In September 2020, there 2,023 such deaths.
That 10,291 figure for August 2021 deaths was, by the way, the highest monthly total for COVID deaths in Florida since the pandemic began. The 8,184 figure for September 2021 was the second highest. The previous worst month in Florida had been January 2021, when there were 5,011 COVID deaths.
Given these most recent death numbers, in what respect is Florida's response to the COVID pandemic better this year than last? The numbers for October 2021 are not yet complete, but the 2,103 figure for COVID deaths this year already exceeds last year's (i.e., October 2020) figure of 1,410.
I just got back from the Free State Of Florida
Aside from a couple restaurant staffs, not a mask in sight
Loved it!
Fresh air and sunshine never hurt anybody
Locking them up, has.
National case count has inflected and is headed up, as is the global case count. Deaths will follow.
The CDC faces a very serious problem. If this is fading immunity (whether from vax or previous infection) then they are going to have to face increasing fully vaxed deaths. This may force them to redefine fully vaxed. VERY BAD OPTICS.
Regardless, winter is arriving and cases are headed up pretty much everywhere. And as for Florida, recall they do not count as other states do. Their numbers trickle in, just as is true of the CDC Excess Deaths methodology. You don’t have any sort of accuracy unless you look back about 3-4 weeks, when the trickle has accumulated to full accuracy.
Doesn’t really matter. The winter is going to be ugly because this upwards inflection is from a much higher than zero level.
“I think there is herd immunity. It’s over in Florida”
That’s very good news!!! 👍
I respect what you do.
I think the Gator football team must all have it.
The Sunshine State aka Vitamin D state.
I live in the frigid, dark Northeast but never get sick because I have a daily diet that includes farm eggs and fatty fish (i.e. canned sardines). Supplemented with 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every morning with breakfast.
Thanks YOU Ron DeSantis...
