Florida, which came under a constant stream of criticism from corporate media outlets and blue state leaders throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, is faring better than nearly every other state in the country in terms of case averages per capita, as the state’s two-week average of cases dropped by 33 percent.

According to the New York Times’ coronavirus map and case count, only two states are reporting fewer average cases per capita than the Sunshine State, which is reporting 14 per 100,000.

Florida is faring better than both California, which saw a decrease of 16 percent, and New York, which saw a decrease of 8 percent. Notably, Washington, DC, which reinstituted its mask mandate, saw an uptick of cases by 2 percent in the last 14 days, and Michigan saw an 8 percent rise in the same time period.

Overall, Florida’s daily average of cases stood at 3,042 as of October 18. In the last 14 days, hospitalizations are down 40 percent, and deaths are down five percent.
