Define “similar per capita rates”
Financial times shows that Florida had 20% more deaths attributed to COVID per capita cumulatively.
I do agree that CA failed to build on top of the success of early shutdowns, but I disagree that a hands off approach of Florida or the Dakotas can be deemed as a success by anyone.

I will also note that FL has a significantly larger elderly population than CA.

First, you are right, I think I misremembered; California has a similar number of cases per capita. However, it was not my intention to show Florida as a success; I only mean to point out that it's hard to convince people to continue with the lockdowns when the results feel marginal.
