Based on the percentage of their population, Florida has done much better that the strict lockdown states.
Sorry just facts...
I couldn't help but notice that you no longer mentioned Ca. As far as which CV statistics are more important - the expression comes to mind, "what past is past and can NOT be controlled, only the future can." At drivers training school you are taught NOT to spend much time looking in the rearview mirror - you control what's in front of you better.

The recent week's CV cases are leading indicators of how each state will probably do in the future. Judging by the cases in those 5 states, hospitals in Fl. and Mi. had better prepare for a greater influx of patients than NY, Pa., and Ca. It also shows that RIGHT NOW as far as CV goes, it would be better to live in NY and Pa than in Fl. And MUCH better in Ca. The CDC puts out those statistics NOT for historical purposes, but as a warning for FUTURE problem areas or hot spots!
