I'll take Covid in Floriduh for $100...or "Is DeSantis toast?"

My whole family had it before the vaccine was available. I would define our symptoms as flu like symptoms which we all fully recovered from with no hospitalization or doctor visits. We monitored our vitals and especially oxygen saturation due to becoming winded after walking up some stairs. Saturation always stayed above 96%. My 70 yr old mother had little to no symptoms outside of loss of taste and smell. This is just my experience. I still take precautions as needed. Overall, I think people aren't against the vaccine but are more against the attempt to mandate. If you decided to get the vaccine to protect yourself than the discussion should end there. You made that choice in an attempt to protect yourself from the virus.

Glad you experience was not serious. I assume no one was vaccinated? Was no one eligible or why did they make the choice not to be vaccinated?

The isn't much difference between a law and a mandate. For example, if a governor issued a mandate that if one was caught going 40mph in the left lane of a freeway then would go to jail for 30 days, how many people would defy the mandate intentionally because they are free to do as they choose? And how many would say it is about time, their freedom put me at risk? Mandate or law the rationale is to protect those potentially being negatively impacted by another's decision or those driving 40 in the passing lane from a dangerous choice.
