The numbers have increased with the seasonal population change. The influx of snowbirds would have caused the same issue in any other state.
Florida has approximately 21 million residents. That grows by 3 to 4 million people every winter. Those people come from various backgrounds and areas that may be inundated with covid.
The state's permanent population grows by about 1,000 people per day, unlike the northern states that have people fleeing. Obviously, that will change the covid statistics as well.
With this change in numbers and the mobility of people it is no surprise that the covid numbers have begun to rise.
