The difference between Florida and California

[cardcrimson]

I think that the governing factor might be income disparities, living conditions, or that sort of demographics. California's problem appears to be (though I have not done an analysis) LA county where a lot of large families are living in small houses and have service jobs. As usual, that's an oversimplification. The point is that age might not be the right demographic to follow here.

I was primarily concerned with death rates, not necessarily infection rates. Age and co-morbidities seem to play a major role in the death rates, and Florida's isn't much worse than CA's even with a significantly larger percent of those in the problematic age groups.
