News that Miami is enforcing a curfew because young dipshits are partying like it 1999 should come as no surprise. Young people are mostly stupid about risk assessment, and to be fair, Covid is unlikely to dramatically effect them (which is not to say that it won't). It's Russian Roulette with a revolver with 150 chambers and one bullet. The odds are good, but it's still Russian Roulette.
That this comes in Florida, governed by a JV Trump is hardly surprising.
In many ways, we are coming to the end of the pandemic. I'm due for my Dos Dose in about ten days. Two weeks after that, I'll be immune from serious effects and mostly immune from any effects. I'm looking forward to that day.
Navigating to that day is going to be tricky. The "vaccine Eeyore-ism" means that people want the shot and then want to go bar hopping. There needs to be a two week period after your second dose. Even then, if the vaccinated are wandering around unmasked that will enable to the unvaccinated to go about flaunting masking rules and so on.
I don't know what the solution is, but there has to be a balance between continuing to enforce some public safety measures while also relaxing the overall vigilance.
