If you don’t, then you look at the fact that NY was the first to be hit and it was hit hard. From March to the end of May, as the nations struggled with a lack of supplies and understanding of how to respond to, they experienced 24k deaths, mostly from NYC. In the same time, Fl saw 2.5k deaths.

Since then, NY adopted best practices and has had 20k deaths while Fl has had 26.5k deaths, primarily coming from the Summer months where most state saw a decline.

By no means does Florida act as a model, even relative to NY.

It's a fantastic model, along with the perfect comparison.  You've got NYC executing the authoritarian State, while Florida chose to let the people live how they choose.  Were one States results dramatically better than the other?  Not really, except Florida is dramatically better in terms of deaths per 100K population.
