Will it still be safe to go to Florida (not Disney) this winter

[Anonymous]

With the lack of vaccine mandates in the state, would it still be ok to visit south or central FL this winter? Or are cases of whatever already exploding?[mastodon]

Plenty of unvaccinated people in our area

As long as it's been less than 6 months since you were vaccinated against Covid and flu, and no one in your party is immuno-depressed, I think it's fine. Bring masks, avoid super crowded places, normal precautions.

If you’re vaccinated, wouldn’t it be ok?

I think what FL did is beyond moronic but FYA Europe has had very lax vaccine requirements for a while (fun fact, a lot of the OG anti vax movement was inspired by Europe’s significantly less strict vax requirements).

So if you’ve been to Disney or anywhere else with Europeans in the past, you’ve already been exposed to unvaccinated people.

I recommend just staying home. Don’t take any chances.

I’m more concerned no one in Florida has car insurance and they drive like either super old people or have never driven a car before.

Are you really this uneducated?

OP, I live in Florida (Tampa Bay area) and everyone I know vaccinates, just like before. It's probably similar in central Fl.

If I was immunesuppressed, I wouldn't travel here or anywhere in winter for that matter-but for regular vaccinated people, it's fine.

Florida PP here-I don't think it's an uneducated thing to ask. It should be asked and discussed.

In 2024, only 40% of US residents were vaccinated against the flu and only 8% of adults had received the latest COVID booster. Did this dictate your behavior a year ago? If you care about these, get your own vaccines and move on with life.

Add the anti-vax nonsense now to my list of reasons why I will continue to stay out of insane Florida.

The concern is less with flu and covid but more for things like measles, diphtheria, polio etc.

So why go to Florida then? It’s all about theme parks.

Yes. You should be terrified and stay far away. People are dropping dead in droves down there
