Definitely divisive.

Don't post the entire article that you found but the name of the publication or a link to the site would be useful.
WaPo Covid tracker. Near the top under "Places with Highest Daily..."
NYT table. See "State Trends"
Florida, Texas, and Louisiana peaked earlier and are now declining. The surge has now moved on to other states.
The WaPo table shows 42 daily reported cases per 100,000 in FL but only 26 for New Jersey and 27 for New York. And again, Florida is on the way down from a peak of about 80 daily reported cases per 100,000.
The rationing/distributing of the antibodies definitely has a bad feel to it.
