Why are you ignoring the plethora of other states that have taken a more agressive or strict approach that either are doing worse than Florida, or they're doing similarly?
I'm willing to listen and have my view changed, but I'm going to need someone to explain to me how Florida isn't at the top, or the near the top (in both cases and deaths) if their approach was so reckless and stupid.
One answer could be populations.
Even if the governor is an idiot maybe the older populations took it more seriously and actually stayed in. The larger spread from Florida may have come from the young, dumb tourists taking advantage of a "reckless and stupid" approach. I know of one group of young men who traveled and came back all positive last year. As far as I know they all lived though.
I'm sure there are other variables too. It doesn't change the notion that leaving everything wide open was indeed reckless and stupid.
To use the drunk driving analogy above: Someone could drive drunk their entire lives and never have an accident or get caught...but it is still reckless and stupid based on what we know should be done.
