Heck, according to the stats from Florida's website tracking COVID (floridahealthcovid19.gov...), this past week had a dramatic increase of new infections for the entire state. However, upon closer inspection, the greater majority of those numbers were in one county, Dade, which includes the city of Miami. Several other counties along the east coast of Florida's north/south route 95 corridor also noted increases as well.

My opinion is that, as is normal for this time of year, a LOT of people from New York, known as "snow birds" by the locals, made their migration down to Florida and many brought active COVID infections along with them. If New York state goes all hard line on COVID infected via the above mentioned bill, it's a good chance that many of those New Yorkers now in Florida might not be in all that much hurry to go back home. IMHO, anyway.

Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 33% effective against Omicron according to study done by South Africa's biggest health insurer.

Life in South Africa during the peak of the 4th wave (aka Omicron)?

Pretty much "normal". Still Level 1, which is the lowest level: Compulsory to wear masks in public as it has been the last 18 months. Curfew from midnight to 4am. Restrictions on large gatherings.

Watching the rest of the world lose their collective tiny minds and scratching our heads in bewilderment.

What is Covid? Never heard of it.

How is flu season? I put up my decorations.
