have friends that live in Florida who 'leave' the state from June through September to be in the much more comfortable environs of Lake Tahoe...I get that you're searching for a way to excuse DeSantis, but you need to find a more logical train of thought that explains why his state is experiencing a surge in COVID hospitalizations while others are seeing decreases.
Your deflection to the border issue is another sign that you haven't been able to answer this thread's question...nonetheless, since you are deeply concerned about that topic, I've attached some background material for you...if you can't access it, I'll cut and paste as much of it as I can.
