I think that Governor Desantis has been as fair as a person can be in his position. He needs to consider all things. It appears that the most endangered are in fact the most vaccinated in this state; the elderly are highly vaccinated at about 70% or better and they are the most at risk. Have not read any figures on recent deaths from Covid or the new Delta Variant. It does seem likely that a state that is deluged with guests and whose main industry is tourism is going to get a lot of germs that are not wanted.
I have decided to stop going to the rec center for a few days at least to try to figure out whether it is safe. I know someone who became sick with Covid after two group members at a rec center became sick and had test.
I am hoping that what we will see that the vaccinated are not getting TOO sick.
It is hard to hear and see the truth with so many clamoring voices.

Yes, agreed. What I have read seems to indicate that the vaccine is less effective against the DELTA variant, but how much less is still too early to know, because of the lack of data.
I don't disagree about the Governor. I don't always agree with his decisions, and I wish he would separate his political, economic, and medical recommendations more clearly.
And I wish he would put in place a science-based randomized testing program that scientists could use to do statistical analysis. Instead of heavily weighted testing that makes it harder to understand what the numbers bean.
