Apply just a LITTLE logic to your consideration of what you heard:
IF being warmer is a factor in keeping it from "being"
THEN
Miami would not have been hard-hit at all.
AND THEN
Florida would not have been in the top 5 of all states infected with 56,830 total cases diagnosed.
AND THEN
Florida would not have seen 2,460 total deaths confirmed as caused by the virus.
That's just a little logic for ya.
Meanwhile, there HAVE been more deaths recently - not merely in Florida. Marion County was holding steady at only 5 deaths. Until last week. They're up to 7 now. Two additional deaths in a single week, for a county that had 5 deaths total for over two months.

You do realize, I hope, that Florida is actually doing very well on a per capita basis. Remember, Florida is the third largest state in the U.S. by population. Last time I checked, New York had almost 14 times the deaths with a smaller and younger population. I am sitting here in my northern summer state that is doing far worse, population adjusted. You are lucky to be in Florida.
The same is true for the U.S. If you take out New York with its horrible record, the U.S. is doing better than many of the countries in Europe, actually far better than many. The U.S. is also in third place, population wise, which makes our numbers sound worse than they are.
