I have read your (WaPo, NYT wants me to subscribe) and it shows trends for the 50 states. This is the site you referenced.

Are you referring to this JHU table? That table is incorrect, it is showing total daily cases not adjusted for population. You can see this by toggling the WaPo data from Adj. for population to Totals. If you do that then the JHU numbers and the WaPo numbers match pretty closely. Plus, do you really believe Florida has zero daily cases as shown in that JHU table?
You can see in the data you posted that FL and TX are both still worse then NY and NJ. Both are declining but are still high. The graphs of the data will show FL hit 80 at one point.
