Simple minded explanation maybe.
Florida has an old population on average. You would expect them to see more deaths per capita from a disease which is mostly fatal to those of advanced age. I don't know if that is the answer, but it is easy to come up with better reasons than insulting people who died from disease.
Not sure why you have to cast hate on people that died from a disease but it reminds me of all those people who cast hate and bigotry on the victims of HIV early in that pandemic. That's a shameful comment in 2021. It's disgusting and belongs on /b/, not on slashdot, even if the article is a nonscience political flamebait.
I'm sure if you want to make political commentary you can find a more appropriate forum, but if you want to insult those who have died during the pandemic I think you should go find the grieving families and have enough guts to say it to their faces or keep your mouth shut.
