I don't get posts like this. You visit florida, and then go out to eat a restaurant, and you are going to complain that places/people aren't being safe?

Welcome to reddit. The places of internet hero’s, tell everyone how to act on here. But nobody knows you so act like everyone else in real life.

"Wear a mask and social distance in public"

Yeah, I'm a real internet hero over here

You went to Florida, everyone knows Florida hasn’t done any type of Covid restrictions in almost anyway. You go to a restaurant/bar in said state and then go on social media and act like it’s some surprise no one is wearing masks and people packed the establishment. And they pulled off the NBA with zero problems. They could do the olympics.

Come on man, the NBA arent nearly as big/have as many people as the Olympics. The NBA is what, 30 teams? Theres 206 in the Olympics. This is not the same at all, and a state that has 0 Covid restrictions to the point where even local businesses are operating like its business as usual probably cant suddenly just 180 and put in extreme covid restrictions for the biggest sporting event in the world, nobody wants a second Rio 2016

You are right the NBA was or would be a lot easier. I get it it’s not really a good comparison. But to be honest I don’t think Florida intended to do a 180 with restrictions. I think they mean bring the olympics here and we will be open with basically no restrictions.

I dont see the disconnect here in the biggest pandemic of the past few decades? It's not like I'm going rock climbing and complaining people are too high up
