Folks, "they" is Florida, and Florida has the 12th worst rate of fatalities from covid in the US. Somehow OP thinks this means they're doing fine. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Assuming those numbers are percents - we don't know, because the source isn't given - that would be 9, 11.4, and 11 people out of each 1,000. Just the fatalities. Also if they are percentages there are 100 of each testing positive for covid, so a bunch of them are taking up hospital beds that people with cancer, heart disease, etc. might not get. Grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends. More of the older than the younger.
As for the "Florida has more elderly" argument, Maine has virtually the same percentage of elderly, but they have lost only 2,022 per million residents to covid, while Florida has lost 3,859 per million.
OP seems to be having trouble with the idea that "per million" represents a rate, rather than a nose count. Presenting the numbers per million of population gives clear comparisons. For each million Maine residents 2,022 have died of covid. In Florida it's 3,859. For the US as a whole it's 3,332. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Again: be suspicious of anonymous people on the Internet who don't supply the source of their numbers, Alaska's death rate from covid is 1,910 per million, slightly less than Maine's. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
That's a factor, for sure, folks, and that's the reason why masks are recommended in crowds. Study after study has shown they work:
2022 Oct 22 "In conclusion, both respirators and medical masks provide a high filtration efficacy against virus containing aerosols in situations with low physical exertion and therefore a very high protection against airborne diseases." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9617726
2022 Jul 25 "The N95 remains the best respiratory protection, and in the event of the next airborne pandemic, FPEs could serve as adequate alternative protection against the viral spread." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35901992/
Etc.
bro, I am using the fucking website you keep posting
fine you want to do by per capita, then explain to me, why New York(one of the most masked), and Florida(no masks) are ranked 9 and 7 respectively? instead of ranking by a tiny state and a large state like you are trying to compare. Dishonest stat manipulation by the way.
And again I will state nobody was wearing those, medical masks were given out publicly, not m95 masks, etc....
Well then say so. Otherwise it looks like you're just another troll pulling numbers out of your ass.
Ranked at what?
Total cases per million? Florida has more than New York.
Total deaths per million? Florida has more than New York.

Anyway, there are a lot of factors in play besides mask use. Social distancing, geographical location, temperature, humidity, wind speed, economic development level, race, high airport or road traffic, state of the healthcare system, and on and on. Choosing to ignore the research that proves the effectiveness of masks at reducing the damage from the virus is your choice.
It's a shame you choose to spread the misinformation.
The difference is like 0.2%, statistically that is no difference.
I am not choosing to ignore, I am looking at the contradictory facts that point to that study being incorrect. Take for instance it is impossible for the masks to be effective when the water vapor and virus particle size are much smaller than the surgical masks would be physically able to capture. and before you go 'but muh n95 masks' again, no one ever wore those out in public, we were never mandated to wear that type of mask, etc.....
Before we get to the question of why you believe you know more than the researchers, let's review the question you're skipping over...
Ranked at what?
