Here's the website. They seem to issue numbers weekly. I like World Meter for overall numbers and trends, especially their predictions, which I track, and which are revised frequently and unfortunately for most state get worse and worse every revision.
The total number of deaths isn't really a valid metric. What you want is deaths per capita. Florida is currently at 9th highest having risen from 14th highest in mid September. Winning Ronnie D!

The Florida Department of Health actually shows the current death count as 58,803, even worse than World Meter.
