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."
