Sam, you keep referring to NY & NJ's deaths last spring & early summer long before there were vaccines, or before they even knew what they were up against. NY's current death rate is o.15, less than 1/10th of Florida's. The difference is, NY was 70% vaccinated a month ago when Florida wasn't even 50%. NY has a mask mandate if you are not vaccinated & cannot maintain at least six feet of separation in public indoors or outside. People who are vaccinated must still wear a mask when in certain public spaces or situations, schools, transportation, etc. Almost all stores require a mask, nobody even thinks twice.
But don't worry Sam, we've still got our share of the anti-mask anti-vaccine crowd. And Delta is finding them and sending them tio the hospital and beyond.
