As someone who grew up in NJ and is now a Florida resident, no. I’ve been living my life for months...going to the parks, the grocery store, out to dinner, weekend trip to St. Augustine. I wear my mask...not because I want to but it’s the responsible thing to do. Still haven’t caught Corona. And yes, I’ve gotten tested several times since I go into the office once a month as part of my job. The real issue is the number of people who’ve brought it TO Florida from other states (snowbirds, spring breakers for example). But we get blamed for spreading it because we choose to live our lives instead of being locked in our dungeons. You guys need to chill with the Florida B.S.I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet in this forum, but I wonder if this will change any minds amongst the population of Florida:
Bowden back in hospital for virus-related testing
Bobby Bowden's wife, Ann, told the Tallahassee Democrat that her husband was hospitalized because of fatigue and was scheduled to undergo tests. Also, FSU said that university president John Thrasher has tested positive for COVID-19.www.espn.com
The rest of the country is hardly "locked down in our dungeons".
I hope you’re not including California in that statement. And for what it’s worth, all private businesses still have a mask requirement. So no one is going anywhere indoors without masks. Don’t judge from the outside.
Well... that's promising.Interesting study out of Spain showing significant benefits from a therapeutic vitamin D treatment. It was a small study but could be very promising:
The First Clinical Trial to Support Vitamin D Therapy For Covid-19
[Updated 27 Sept] Oral calcifediol reduced ICU admission for Covid-19 from 50% to 2%. And key questions about the trial answered.medium.com
It is important to note that the study used a version of vitamin D that is similar to what your body produces from natural vitamin D which allowed the therapeutic effect work faster. It's unlikely you would get similar benefits from increasing the amount of natural vitamin D once you were already infected.
There are a lot of people not doing just about everything they did before COVID. I wouldn’t call it fear, but we have canceled trips and family gatherings/celebrations, and we have voluntarily chosen not to visit WDW until the mask requirement is dropped because that’s not the type of experience we want.
That's what I'm saying. So many keep calling what you're saying living in fear. I never said everything is fine. No life is not quite the same but majority aren't living in fear but trying to live their life the best they can.
I bet those bar owners feel locked down.
You lost me at blaming the outsiders for bringing Covid to Florida. At this point there is no point in blaming anyone. Instead we should be figuring out how to live with this. One way to do it is get people to stay home when you are sick. I know it's hard to to do but it would go a long way in stopping the spread.
It's really not. You get an idea after a certain number of posts whether someone is just going to annoy you for whatever reason - sometimes it's an issue particular to you rather than the poster. Using the ignore feature is better than going back and forth in an endless cycle of arguments and insults that no one else needs to see.I finally succumb to that recently. It felt a little like cheating.
Last I checked there were 10s of thousands of Disney CMs alone still out of work and many, many more people in other related jobs that desperately want the tourists to come back. The governor is begging Disney and Universal to remove capacity limits in the hopes to draw more tourists in. So if the issue is tourists bringing Covid to FL then your issue is with your own governor. By the way I agree with you that especially this summer during the spike in cases nobody should have been traveling to FL if they didn’t need to. The governors in a number of other states have encouraged people not to go but it’s a free country so you can‘t stop people from traveling.
UV-C does. UV-A and B are not effective. UV-C however, burns you to a scrip in minutes if not seconds. Fortunetly UV-C is filtered out in the atmosphere
Only if you're above the atmosphere - in which case you'd die of aphyxiation anyways
