And no state income tax.

  And no mask/Vax mandates.

    And a desperate need for monoclonal antibodies.

      No less so than any other state right now. NY and NYC is home to Covid authoritarianism and it’s achieved absolutely nothing. The numbers don’t lie.

        Florida wants an outsized "donation" of monoclonal antibodies compared to other states to make up for their lesser emphasis on masking, vaccination, and social distancing. Typical conservative "I want to do what I want, and you will be responsible for the consequences!" behavior.

        Is out outsized compared to their population or to their need? Why would Florida need more than any other state? New York actually has the most cases by a huge margin.

I live in SF and I'm not aware of there being any lockdowns here in the city either.

  Yeah, no place in the US has had lockdowns in a long time, though I suppose to an antivaxxer, a vaccination requirement to do certain activities may have the appearance of a lockdown. Or indoor mask requirements may appear to be a lockdown to someone allergic to caring about others. Regardless, if antisocial people want to GTFO and go to Florida, I'm all for it (with apologies to Floridians).

    Everyone who wants to be vaccinated has already already got it. Some don’t: and it doesn’t mean they don’t care about others.

      Do they think getting vaccinated is hurting themselves or others? Appears that a 1 in a million chance of a hurting themselves is prevent them from protecting others.

    I wouldn’t call them that. In fact living in LA (not for long) I would consider all the fearful people living here to be the antisocial ones. Terrified at every new covid development. Locking themselves inside.

      I think we're using different meanings of the word antisocial.

      Having spent significant time in Florida this year, masks and any covid restrictions have been gone for a while there. By contrast, all my new year’s plans in NYC got cancelled, mask mandates exist for gyms and a lot of other places, vaccine mandates exist everywhere, and many many shows have been cancelled. While I understand many (most?) HNers would consider this positive (“look, people acted of their own accord!”), those tired of covid 19 restrictions, fears, and whatever else you want to call it, have looked at Florida with envy. Lockdowns has become a catch all term for this. I need to restate that many might agree with these restrictions so much so that it’s not a big deal to them but it’s not nothing and might even be significant for others.
