Well, they have a choice. Stay at home. Have food delivered. When you have to go out wear a mask. WASH your hands. Stay at home. The folks with low risk factors should make their decisions. The folks with high risk factors should make their own decisions.

We have a few friends who are in the high risk group and they stay at home all the time. When around them or anyone who will have contact with them we are VERY careful. The rest of the world should not pay the price that our children are paying. Florida has not been nearly as restrictive as most states and has done as well as (or better than) the most restrictive states.

No more face masks, no more social distancing and all businesses open at 100% capacity. That, obviously will spread very fast to the rest of the country and the whole world.

"That" being COVID-19 infections ?

Has it occurred to you that lots of people, if not most people, don't have that particular luxury?

Florida is in the top ten worst states for cases per 100,000 and in the top 12 worst deaths per 100,000. Not much bragging rights there.

They are finally coming to their senses.
Now any business, airlines or country that requires a vaccine certificate need to be boycotted.
Democracy will win .

Yeah, maybe democracy will win - it was touch and go between November 3 and January 6 but yes, it got over the line in the end.
