Just over four million people in the ENTIRE WORLD have died from coronavirus. Total. Just over a half a million in the United States, and less than 40 thousand in Florida.
Randi, as an educator, can you give us the definition of "hyperbole?"

With coronavirus survival rates being what they are, quite literally over a billion Floridians would have to come down with the virus, according to @rweingarten, for that many to die from it.
There are just under 22 million Floridians at the moment. Even counting every single tourist (roughly 87 million over the course of a whole year), Florida doesn't even reach one billion people. Just over 1/1000th of a billion, actually.
So for @rweingarten's dire prediction to come true, close to a tenth of the entire population of Florida would not only have to catch coronavirus, but also die from it. Even if every single Floridian caught it, the mortality rate would have to be over 10% vice less than 1%.
