Sumter Co. has the highest portion of vaccinated.
As you can see from the table, 85% of seniors over 65 have been vaccinated in Florida.
Yes, everyone should get vaccinated if they are able (IMO). Will everyone get vaccinated? No, that has never happened and won't ever happen. If stats are so important to folks and they insist on blaming other people for the spread then once the children are vaccinated, they are going to have to look elsewhere for someone to blame for the spread. The flu comes out every year and kills. And the flu also has long term medical effects, which a lot of folks overlook.
Take what precautions you deem sufficient or listen to your doctor and what he suggests and get on with your life. If you think that wearing a mask will save you, then wear your cute little mask. No one is banning the mask. If you believe that staying home will keep you from ill, then stay home. But, why in the world would you make anyone that does not agree with you into your enemy? No one is forcing you to associate or socialize with people you deem unsafe. No one is forcing you to shop in Publix or Walmart. You can have it delivered or put in your car when you pick up your order.
I am interested in the Stats. The stats are showing that we are winning against the virus. I consider a low death rate a win.
Just short of 500 dead yesterday and more than that today. If that is what you consider a win …
