[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are definitely leaving. DH works in DC. I work in MD and this year has been tough on our children because of our long hours and the virtual learning. We have been fortunate to get job transfers to Florida. [/quote]
Oh god, I'd rather homeschool my kids for eternity than have to live in Florida. God speed.[/quote]
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. [/quote]

+1 (and Fla is opening vaccines to all adults unlike here where we're all still waiting) [/quote]

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

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.  
[/quote]

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.    [/quote]

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.
