How are you getting that Florida is on pace to have thousands more deaths than NY by the end of the year? NY has 19,724 more deaths as of today.
Even if they even out by the end of the year, Florida will be ahead from an economic standpoint plus less ancillary harms from lock downs.

29,411 of of NY state’s Covid deaths come from 8 counties due to population density.
The other 54 counties account for the remaining 3,745 deaths.
I’ll do the percentages for you because we both know you can’t.
88% of NY’s Covid deaths come from 13% of NY’s counties. While remaining 12% of NY’s deaths come from 87% NY’s counties.
Without the most densely populated city in the nation Florida’s deaths exceeds NY’s almost 4:1.
