You would expect, given the large retiree population in Florida, that the average age there is somewhat higher than other states. Since covid is apparently harder on older people than younger people... You'd expect if all other things were equal that Florida would have a higher incidence and death rates.

But Florida's numbers are lower, better. It would appear either Florida is doing something right, or other states are doing something wrong, or some combination of the two. ;-)

You would think that Florida has the highest median age, but it actually #6 being the three northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

This is a list of U.S. states, the District of Columbia and territories by median age in 2019.[note 1] Median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups - that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population.

“Florida is doing something right,”

On Bongino’s Monday radio show, he was taking about his recent bout with CCP Virus, and was over-the-top complimentary about how DeSantis is handling everything.
