Over 3,000 new cases reported in Florida today. There’s no hope for Florida. This is here to stay. There seems to be no end in sight. I’m so upset
Positivity rate is the lowest it's been in a month!

FL isn’t quite there yet on vaccinations. The state is slowly approaching 50% of the population with 1 dose. We probably need to get closer to 60% to see cases flatline and stay down. It can still happen but it will take time. It would be nice to see the government make a better effort to get more people vaccinated, but that’s unlikely to happen. FL still has a high level of the variants circulating. As we saw first hand up here in the NE a month ago, the variants do cause a spike in cases. People didn’t start acting differently to cause our spike. It was the variants and luckily the vaccination levels were high enough to keep the spike smaller and make it shorter lived than past spikes.Over 3,000 new cases reported in Florida today.

Vaccination levels are still sad. Nothing likely stubbornly not addressing a problem. I expect nothing more.

Hopefully that is NOT the case

2 weeks ago they were averaging over 4k, now it's just under 3k. It's dropping. Why now be upset?Over 3,000 new cases reported in Florida today. There’s no hope for Florida. This is here to stay. There seems to be no end in sight. I’m so upset

It was actually about that here yesterday and I swore Orlando was 10 degrees colder.
We definitely want space from others when it's hot lol
But really unless more get vaccinated I'm unsure what else we can do.
I did get an email today about VIP services and oddly they still mention needing to do temp checks. Not sure how they can make us mask outdoors too now ugh

Covid-19 vaccine boosters may be necessary at some point. Here's what you need to know
Vaccine makers are preparing for a next possible phase of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout: booster doses.
I can't stand this kid of thing. This is the top story on CNN's Web site. And it's all about boosters. Yet the entire thing is nothing but speculation. Even the quotes from Dr. Fauci say that. There is currently zero evidence -- absolutely none -- that boosters will be required. Right now, we have documented studies showing that immunity is just as strong after six months. That's the farthest it's been tested so far. Yet CNN makes it their top article that we may start needing boosters soon.
This kinda thing just keeps people worried ("Is my Covid shot still good???") and helps drive vaccine hesitancy ("I'm not doing something where I have to get a shot every 6 months!"). It is irresponsible. We need to be talking about just how good the vaccine is and how long immunity has lasted so far. If it eventually wears off, or a variant develops that evades it, then we can deal with that at the time. But that doesn't need to be the conversation right now.

My husband is the same way. He never gets cold and I am rarely warm. I'm miserable below about 60 degrees. At least where I live only one of us is miserable at the same time.

This kind of thing really ticks me off. It's causing people to not vaccinate too, no joke.Covid-19 vaccine boosters may be necessary at some point. Here's what you need to know

Think the most oddball argument I have read from a single person is they won't get vaccinated because there's still a <1% chance of still catching it after vaccination so it doesn't work. Yet in the same sentence say they won't get vaccinated because their chance of getting covid is <1% without being vaccinated.Covid-19 vaccine boosters may be necessary at some point.

In their mind <1% is only a good thing if it requires them to do nothing new.
