Both California and Florida were hardest hit by the outbreak, with California instructing restaurants and bars to suspend operations and forcing state residents to wear masks outside, and Florida not implementing related measures. But the study found that although the two places have very different measures to combat the Epidemic, but the people’s illness and death rate is actually very similar.
The Daily Mail reported that soon after the outbreak in California, Governor Newsom (GavinNewsom) asked restaurants and bars to suspend operations, schools to close, and state residents to stay Home as much as possible, because the number of confirmed cases and hospitalizations was soaring. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, on the other hand, has issued only limited rules against the epidemic, and state residents are free to decide whether to wear masks.
Media analysis of the two states’ data over the past year shows that the number of confirmed cases in California is almost twice that of Florida, and the number of deaths is more than 10,000, but the rates of illness, death and hospitalization in the two states are actually close in proportion to their populations.
California is the worst state in the nation, with more than 3 million confirmed cases and more than 35,000 deaths, a rate of 7.6% based on a local population of 40 million. Florida, on the other hand, has a population of about 22 million, with more than 1.61 million confirmed cases and more than 24,000 deaths, for a rate of 7.3%.
A separate analysis of Florida media data also shows that the state has an average of more than 5,000 cases per 100,000 people, compared to a rate of about 4,600 per 100,000 people in California.
Florida
Similarly, data from the Covid Tracking Project show that both California and Florida recorded an average of 500 to 1,000 cases per 1 million people, with the number of cases declining in January. In terms of deaths, California had 10 deaths per 1 million people, while Florida had 6.
In terms of hospitalization rates, California’s situation was more severe, with 56 hospitalizations per 100,000 people, compared to 35 in Florida. On the 12th, California had more than 22,000 hospitalizations on a single day, while Florida had more than 7,700 hospitalizations on the 14th.
It is worth noting that 21% of the overall population in Florida belongs to the elderly over 65 years old, with a number of about 4.6 million people, while the proportion of elderly people in California is only 15%, with a number of about 6 million people, so the proportion of elderly people who are more likely to contract CCP pneumonia in Florida is higher.
