The elder to younger ratio not to mention that attitude of those in charge like that of Clearwater.

Today FL is number 5 with 432 cases. #1 is NY with 5706 and #2 is WA with 1376. CA is #3 with 1021.
Yes the population of FL is slanted towards 65+. But so is Arizona. FL is 20% while AZ is 17%. Not too much of a difference.
Those photos and videos from Clearwater were disturbing yes. And the governor has refused to close all the beaches (FL gets $40 billion a year from tourism) leaving it in the hands of local mayors and city councils.
Unfortunately, times of need and guidance can bring out the worst in leaders (DeSantis) as it can bring out the best (Cuomo).
The biggest issue with FL is not the number of it's cases but with the number of people that visit FL for a short time then leave and go back home.
