Reality....has little to do with the blue v.s. red and more to do with the new variant. THe spread is going to happen, it will be less impactful where people are fully vaccinated. It reduces the hospitalization rate....which is key. Also testing helps.
The rate of positivity will be higher in states that require more rigorous testing. Not sure that is a bad thing.
If I test positive -- with no symptoms, I still can respect others that may have compromised immune, have chosen not to get the vaccine and could be at a higher risk for hospitalization by staying out of public spaces or by choosing to social distance and wear a mask.
Mitigating the spread, reducing the risk for those unvaccinated and immune compromised is the goal.
If you want to fuss about red vs. blue...fine......
This public service announcement brought to you by …
And nobody ever said Florida was the heathen land of the unvaccinated.
I've always attested to the fact that while DeSantis fights any mandates because 'Amurica Freedom'...people in Florida don't necessarily heed his words.
I saw masks in stores at the same rate as I do in South Carolina.
WHICH --- in South Carolina -- mask use increases when numbers go up.
Nothing comes up in searches for recent Sarasota restaurant closings due to COVID ("sarasota restaurants closed due to covid"). Which restaurant was it? Reports like what you are claiming generally make the news. But I'm not finding anything.
Masks in stores are probably snowbirds who don't realize that they don't have to mask. Although they would wear them anyway because they are trained to do so.
Anyone in a car driving with a mask? Non FL plates. Every time.
I feel like I am the only unvaccinated person in Westchester, along with half of my family. It is brutal, being treated like a leper. Ostracized and not able to go in places. Wondering if my daughter will even be able to work. Wondering if I end up in a hospital for something, will they leave me to die because I'm unvaxxed. Awful. I don't recognize the world we live in.
You are one of the smart ones. Try to find other people who share your believes. The push for a vax that does not work tells me there is a master plan that is in action and the only way to curb it is noncompliance. The biggest issue is you cannot talk to the vaccinated they do not want to hear it and clearly they have not done any research, just what the TV and newspapers tell you. So obvious this VAX does not work. No other vaccine required so many jabs
What we're seeing is very sad, and disturbing.
And what I'm hearing is, residents feeling their qualities of life have been diminished.
My god, people are now relocating to different states over Covid.
Divisions are being created, perhaps intentionally by international communities.
They keep imposing restrictions with a historical rate of failure, for what now is endemic; politicians are not this stupid.
Everyone knows the Spanish flu lasted only 3 years, so to drag this out only seems to amplify their own incompetence/agenda?.
Just came back from Florida. Local restaurant closed because staff got sick. So same thing happening there.
Went to a concert - -masks, tests and vaccination proof all needed.
Just one restaurant closed on their own from your observation and you want to somehow compare it to the locking down of entire states by the Democrats like last year? Oh boy.
