If Florida were a country, where would it rank in fighting COVID? | Analysis
With the delta variant spreading, it’s a good time to make some COVID comparisons.
So far, this analysis shows that the United States is hardly the star pupil when it comes to keeping its residents safe from COVID, especially given the money and expertise the country has at its disposal.
But what if Florida were a country? Based on total gross domestic product, the Sunshine State’s economy would rank in the top 20 in the world, a little smaller than Indonesia’s and about the same size as the Netherlands’.
As for COVID, Florida has some explaining to do. The state would have the highest death rate in our country comparison, no matter the time frame.
