Florida is the next NY-level hotspot for Covid. With the elderly population there, going to be ugly. Ugh.https://twitter.com/adamplayford/status/1244048209896448000 …

Average age in Florida is 42. The elderly thing is a myth.

Interesting point. I got this from the census. 20% of Florida is over 65 compared to lower %’s in Texas and New York City. Am I missing something?pic.twitter.com/1d2MtzEcgr

No. I was simply pointing out that Florida is not the Geriatric playground that the rest of the country thinks it is. Those days are long gone.

State A is 40% 80 yo and 60% 30 yo has an average age of 50. State B is 100% age 55 has an older average. If mortality rate is 10% for 80 yo, 2% for 55 yo, 0.1% for 30 yo, State A loses 4.6% of its population while state B loses 2% despite having a higher average age.

It’s not the average age that matters, clearly. It’s how many old people the state has. Florida has many and they’re packed in apartments and old folks Holmes instead of surburban houses like Florida’s young population. Florida is going to get wrecked.

I live in Florida. I'm almost 60. Do I look like I live in an old folks home? Florida will be fine.

Lol, with an attitude like that...it definitely will not be fine. You’re totally wrong about Florida but I concede that you do not look like you’re in an old folks home and I hope to be riding motorcycles and carefree as you are at your age

I would be more concerned with Florida if they had a more dense urban population, extensive travel and business with China, the age that people falsely assume and a prioritized mass transit environment.

South Florida is really dense for the USA. Business with China is not relevant any more. Community transmission is doing just fine. There is a lot of public transit in Florida compared to other us states.

#88 as highest for "really dense"... let's say I am not overly concerned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density …
