We are patiently waiting for Floridamen to start participating in public health. Until then we will continue the precautions. Eventually enough people will die and they will come around.
Seems like you buy into the media narratives more than data... For most of Covid Florida's performance has been middle of the pack in the US despite having a large elderly population. They've slipped recently but still are only the 12th highest state deaths per population [1].
Plenty of other red or blue states that have done worse.
It’s just a symbol, it doesn’t need to be taken literally. After all the reason Floridamen exist as a meme is because of public disclosures of crimes by the state police.
