estimates are somewhere between 80 and 100 million tourists visited Florida last year.....
that doesn't count snow birds...just tourists
Florida's population is ~20 million
....that's 4 to 5 times more tourists than it's population
Tourists, visitors, snowbirds, workers and students that aren't Florida residents but are visiting Florida and test positive for Covid in Florida do NOT count as Covid positives in Florida. Only Florida residents testing positive are including in Florida's Covid counts.
Likewise, Florida only counts Covid deaths in the state if the person is a resident of Florida and died of Covid in Florida. Many snowbirds are officially residents of other states but own property in Florida and spend the winter in Florida each year. These folks don't get counted as a covid positive or covid death in Florida even if they tested positive in Florida and died of Covid in Florida.

So if high populations of residents, snowbirds, seasonal renters, and tourists were getting infected and sick, every single hospital in FL should be overrun with patients, no?
It's not.
Why do people want to see such harm and illness come to those living in Florida?
