Oh god, I'd rather homeschool my kids for eternity than have to live in Florida. God speed.

What is wrong with people? She shared an answer to the stated question. Your response shows how incredibly defensive you are.

This year has made many folks re-evaluate and change focus. If that bothers you so much that you need to tear it down- the issue is yours my friend.
Repeat after me: I am happy for you!
Next class: Learn how to mean it.

As this pandemic goes on, and the data becomes more clear, it's becoming clear that people (and their governments) in places like Florida did a much more rational, thoughtful weighing of risks and benefits than the people in areas like DC.

My cousin's kids in Florida have been in school since August (middle schooler and high schooler). Around here, we're still trying to figure out how to give elementary school kids at least some level of in-person instuction.

Try to think rationally and objectively, and you'll realize who made the smart decisions for their children.

Florida has vaccinated a larger share of its population than DC, and Florida is 30 times larger than DC.

Those numbers are not accurate. CDC and the news media are reporting data which includes doses going to federal agencies and other entities who DC has no control over, and until recently DC allocated much of its doses to people from Virginia and Maryland who work in the city.

DC has administered 96 percent of its ordered the doses, which is higher than any state in the country, and ranks higher than 41 states in terms of number of shots per 100,000 residents. The trackers don't account for vaccinating outside residents or reflect federal agency vaccination efforts.

DC has one of the worst records in the country in vaccinating people and, no, it's not just because it vaccinates federal workers living in Maryland and Virginia. DC has administered fewer *total* shots than even states like Alaska and Nebraska and Montana where, you know, people live really far apart from one another.

The issue is that the people who work for the DC government are terrible at their jobs, as we see with school closures.

CDC's website, and trackers like on NYT claim that DC has been given nearly 500K doses, when in actuality it's only been given around 250K. When you divert half of the numerator to other recipients, and mistakenly double the denominator, the percentage of delivered doses is thrown way off.

I don’t know about numbers above but what I can say is that DC has been way ahead than surrounding MD and VA with vaccinating all groups. We have family in nearby VA and MD.

Yes, we are leaving. We paid a deposit for private. We will hopefully be back if they get in person going. Right now it is a mess and we are using college savings to do it.

The anecdotal evidence can go ether way. My friends in MA and CT who are not high risk are getting vaccinated. The only people I know in DC who have gotten it and are not elderly have a preX. I also know people who have traveled to other states like VA, WV and PA to get the vaccine. Based on my experience DC is way behind.

I’m the PP above. I think it depends on density, beliefs about Covid, and demand for the vaccine.

DC and surrounding nearby NOVA and MD are comparable in density and demand. I also have family in PA near Philly and that area was behind DC too.

Now if you go to a much lower density or rural area, demand would be much less. This is especially true if many people in the area believe in conspiracy theories or don’t believe in Covid at all. They won’t be signing up for the vaccine.
