Florida does have a lot of cases, but the positivity rate is low. And the death rate is extremely low, especially compared to the national average. Keep in mind a TON of people have been tested in FL, probably more than any state. Lots of tests in the pipeline still. Cuomo has a stick up his ass because the Governor of Florida did this same thing to New Yorkers a few months ago, forcing them to quarantine in place upon arrival for 14 days. The hilarious thing is the only people that want back into NYC from FL now are the snowbirds that came down here months ago to get away from the epicenter of the country when NYC had it bad....so he's doing a dog and pony show for the media. And contrary to the media, there are plenty of ICU beds in hospitals in the most populous areas of Florida.
The one place in Florida that is the worst is Miami. No doubt about that.
Where are you getting those stat's? If you look at the weekly numbers, I see Florida at 5th highest .35/100K deaths and 3rd @ 19% /100 K for the past week.Looking at WaPo.

Here's their disclosureData on deaths and cases comes from Post reporting and Johns Hopkins University.
Post-reported data is gathered from state sites and from county and
city sites for certain jurisdictions. Deaths are recorded on the dates
they are announced, not necessarily the dates they occur. All numbers
are provisional and may be revised by the jurisdictions.
The weekly trend uses seasonal
trend decomposition to adjust for daily fluctuations in the reported
case and death numbers. It splits reported numbers into a
day-of-the-week factor and a two-week trend, which we show on the
graphs. This allows us to account for the fact that reported numbers on
the weekend are generally lower than on weekdays.
Perhaps we will need another topic soon

"Younger patients are generally less at risk for experiencing the most serious symptoms of COVID-19, USF’s Dr. Lockwood said. As of Monday, Florida’s fatality rate had plummeted to about 1.5 percent of all cases - one of the lowest in the country."

I am having a hard time with State of Iowa Stats,
This was supposed to be the official Site.
https://coronavirus.iowa.gov/
But the numbers reported in every news outlet never correlates to it or each other. The governor has changed how the data is computed, they no longer follow up, they just assume 28 day and drop them from the stats. It counts differently and when depending on the test site... This whole thing is one messed up cluster.
The news media I've come to loath: they are untrustworthy on both sides of the political spectrum.

Where else you gonna find information, they are getting bad info too. Our Gov will say a number at a press conference and it will reflect nothing on the official web site. Wasn't the Florida epidemiologist fired for not fudging the numbers?

The report showed that Orlando Health had a 98 percent positivity rate. However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report.

I'm hearing about more of this down here in Florida. People on this board know I'm no Trump lover, but at some point you start to wonder if they are trying to stack the deck against the guy with shit like this. Now this is a Fox News station, local......so.......but its pretty disgusting if this is happening. And I say this as a person who'd like a potted plant in office more than round 2 of the Orange Cheeto.

That there are media on sides at all is the problem.

Not sure your point here. Are you insinuating the media isn't biased one way or the other? I mean, you understand I think the current administration is a joke, right? They aren't mutually exclusive.
