The difference is Florida has vaccines. The problem in India is not "la la la, I don't want a vaccine". They don't have enough vaccines.Quote:

2 of my sons vacationed in India and said while it’s a beautiful country the poverty is unimaginable. The water and air are very polluted. I have no desire to visit.
I believe his executive order simply cancels all existing covid orders and bans businesses from requiring a covid passport to enter. So, it essentially opens Florida up effective July 1st, which I believe is the same time New York plans to open. Is New York pro covid?Quote:

Yahoo! huh? I understood herd immunity to be over 70%?Quote:

Secondly I’m not aware that New York forbids businesses requiring vaccination of either employees or customers. The devil is in the details, as is often the case. And in this case the devil is in Tallahassee not Albany.
Aren't New York, New Jersey and Connecticut doing the same in just under two weeks? Maybe you can bring us up to speed on the details and differences?Quote:

I wonder when Florida is going to make it illegal for businesses to require that people where shoes and shirts when entering their establishment?
2 weeks also of course matters as vaccines have not been widely available for long, so until everyone who wants a vaccine has had a second shot more or less and that is a matter of timing.
So NY is creating a passport but not requiring its usage. I wonder how many businesses will refuse to sell products or provide services to anyone without one? I'm betting none outside of perhaps school districts.Quote:
