For comparison: in 2018, 3091 people died from the flu in Florida. Taken from CDC website.
So my question is, why is much of the Florida population walking around in a state of paranoia? In my lifetime this is the first media generated pandemic that I have ever witnessed?

Most people do not think that this is a media generated pandemic.
Most people wonder why Florida is not dying the way New York State is dying.
Many people think that the population is generally older and perhaps wiser and more careful.
There are so many factors that need to be considered. I will be so glad when all facts are validated and all figures are run so we can have a clearer picture. For now we have speculation and incorrect conclusions on the part of many.
Do you mind, OP, telling if you are over 65?
