Hi, former Florida-man here. Is this accounting for the considerably larger portion of old people in FL vs NY? 42.1% vs 45.6% 45+, 15.4% vs 19.3% 65+ for NY and FL respectively.

Methodology: Took the Florida 2010 and estimated 2020 numbers and averaged them together to get a "2015" estimate, then compared it to the 2016 NY data.

If we're handicapping stats, it seems only fair to account for the fact that most of NY's deaths were in the March 2020 spike long before the vaccine or therapeutics like remdesivir hit.
