Please continue your hate of Florida. I spend a lot of time there with my relatives and will move there when I retire. Florida doesn’t need more people.
Sure, you have that terrible grocery store in Naples but have you ever driven an hour out of DC to some parts of VA? It’s different there too. Go ahead and generalize all of Florida. A lot of the country thinks the same when they hear VA. They don’t think DC, they think backwards country. |

Live and let live. Why the need to control everyone else. How are they taking anything from you but you want to take away their freedom. |

I have no idea what exactly is wrong with the poster who keeps posting hate about all of Florida. He/she is not mentally stable.
I live here. My parents (also live here) got their 2nd dose this week. I did not have any trouble getting them an appt. My kids are in in-person school, where the protocols are followed VERY strictly. We've had no in-school transmission. Everywhere I go, including work, church (open with, again, strict protocols same as the schools since we meet in one), stores, everyone is wearing a mask. I still haven't seen these hordes of unmasked people. Granted, I'm not at a chef's table or random grocery store in Naples...oh, and the area I live/work in , went blue in the election. The generalizing in this thread is breathtaking, and scary-it's this kind of mindset that leads to the things we've been seeing in the nation. |

I don't hate Florida but I do worry about people in Florida reproducing the UK strain. "In Florida, where the new study indicates the variant is spreading particularly quickly, Dr. Davies fears that a new surge may hit even sooner than the rest of the country." "In Florida, the scientists estimate that more than 4 percent of cases are now caused by B.1.1.7. The national figure may be 1 percent or 2 percent, according to his team’s calculations." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/07/health/coronavirus-variant-us-spread.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage |

| In Florida, if you die of pneumonia, heart, asthma... you did not die of covid! Even if you had a covid positive test! |

I’m in a red county in Florida and can assure you this is not our experience here. Tons of people not masking. |

and it should be like that. You can die of pneumonia, you can die of heart disease, you can die of asthma so if those are the primary cause of death and yes, that should be listed Also, asthma is not the big risk factor it was once believed to be |

| I am from Florida. Most of my family is still there and this includes a SIL who is a teacher. They have been normalish since schools opened in the Fall. The only difference is my father no longer goes to the gym---otherwise, they are living their lives. No issues. Many a time this past year I have regretted moving my family up here. |

| Florida has its issues for sure, but we can't pretend that this irresponsible social gathering is specific to FL. It happens everywhere, even in DC. I'm sure once restrictions get lifted (like the upcoming one regarding venue capacity) you will see large gatherings. |

How is this DeSantis' fault? I'll fault him for a lot of things, but that isn't one. I don't fault Mayor Castor, either. People are going to be stupid! If it's any consolation, a huge rainstorm came through not long after this. |

| How many times are we going to predict Florida’s demise? And then it doesn’t happen. Or at least no differently from any blue state. |
