Many Govs realized this.
At any rate, our numbers are still climbing so be careful.

Sorry to disagree, but the number of deaths is irrelevant. For one thing it will be tied to the demographics of the area. In an area with an elderly population like The Villages we can expect to see a much higher death rate.
The other thing that the death rate doesn't take into consideration is the number of people hospitalized, or the number of people whose lungs have been permanently damaged by ventilators.
Where do you get that Florida has skimped on testing?
