They say it’s because we’re social distancing .. I could buy that ( wait a second) if the coronavirus spreads more than a flu (which it might as far as I’m concerned)
So I’m looking into Florida’s flu death count this year and can’t find good info on it .that to me is some indicator

FBI has determined it's because of white supremacists.
Influenza cycles geographically throughout the year. Flu season in North America usually kicks off because of spread from South America. If the travel restrictions were severe enough, it could be mostly prevented from getting to the US, or really anywhere else.
What I think you're looking for is official cause of death stats, which you're unlikely to find anywhere unless you were an Actuary.
You can find Flu and Influenza Like Illnesses (ILI) for Florida here. http://www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/influenza/_documents/2021-w11-flu-review.pdf
