A Very Interesting Article by Dennis Prager about Western Countries and Freedoms Removed

Average daily covid deaths in the good 'ol USA in a seven day rolling average: 1,546.
Most of those are unvaxxed. And most of those are Republicans. In fact, the single largest determinant of vaccination status is party affiliation. 
It isn't a lack of freedoms, it's a lack of ignorance...

I read your question and just saw this brief video on CNN by Republican analyst SE Cupp that will answer your question:

Florida has 1 1/2 times the number of elderly people (those over 65) than California does.

As a percentage of Population, 20.1 % of the entire population of Florida is over 65, the group most affected by Covid.

As a percentage of Population, only 14% of the entire population of California is over 65, approx.  2/3 of the number of elderly in Florida.

And since California has only 2/3 the number of deaths per capita that Florida has, that lines up perfectly with the Statistics of numbers of dead.

So there virtually isn't any difference because the vast majority of Covid Deaths occurs in the demographics of those over 65 years of age, and since Florida has 1 1/2 times the number of elderly per capita that California has, the numbers are essentially no diffferent.

So since California enacted Draconian lockdowns, while Florida did not, the difference in deaths is miniscule or essentially statistically the same.  

Now in NJ and NY the number per capita deaths are MORE than in Florida and both of those states had draconian lockdowns, so there draconian lockdowns didn't make one iota of difference.  

Is there any other of your statistics that you would like me to knock down and destroy?

And since you've proven yourself before to be essentially a math illiterate, I don't expect you to understand it.
Lol! All that shows is that the MAGAbillies in Florida are dying at a rate consistent with the national average or above it. And those numbers from Florida are from what they report and Florida undereports its cases and its deaths.  https://www.factcheck.org/2021/11/scicheck-desantis-comments-social-media-posts-mislead-on-covid-19s-toll-in-florida/

What the numbers and the facts that I related prove is that the rate of death in California (per capita) isn't any better than the rate of death in Florida (per capita).

This means that Florida's death rate wasn't any greater than the death rate in California and California had draconian lockdowns compared to Florida's freedom.

Therefore the draconian lockdowns did nothing to minimize the rate of death in California, and Florida stayed open and didn't destroy their businesses the way California did.

It is as simple as that.  
Oh Itchy Richie,
Under-reported cases and deaths in Florida don't phase a con like yourself. And the numbers you spin don't phase reality either.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost the entire state of Florida is under high level of community transmission. Florida is also experiencing the largest surge in COVID-19 cases in the country, with NBC reporting a 878 percent increase in COVID-19 cases in the last two weeks. In total, Florida has recorded 4.2 million COVID-19 cases, one of the highest in the country..."

Geraldo says he's "Eating Humble Pie" now due to his infection with Covid

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Are fully vaccinated people protected against the Omicron variant? How effective are booster shots against Omicron?
In South Africa, where the Omicron variant quickly became dominant, researchers said 2 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine were 33% protective against infection — but 70% effective in preventing severe illness, including hospitalization."
“If you get two doses of a Pfizer or a Moderna (vaccine), the protection against infection itself is dramatically down” with the Omicron variant, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“However, what is the somewhat encouraging news is that the protection against hospitalization and severe disease — although it goes down to around 70% from around 93% — when you get boosted, it brings it back up to the level of pretty good protection.”
