I've actually never been to Miami period
I need to drive down there in the next few weeks. I get a discount for working at a hotel so it's something I need to do!
I maintain that the worst roads in the entire US are South Carolina roads though
literally 5 mile difference between the NC border and SC border and it's like going from Pleasantville to Mad Max

You definitely should. Apart from the absolutely worst tasting water Miami is well worth your time. I just need to emphasize — stick with bottled water. I don’t know what’s wrong with the Miami water but it tastes like s##t.
PS, if you keep heading south you’ll eventually get to Key West. And if you continue you‘ll get to Kokomo !

My state has a central database of Rona vaccinations (I presume all do), a digital vaccine passport and an app that checks vaccination status instantly. And it would be trivial to use it at the USO.
So what exactly is the legal/privacy issue that our friendly annoying alarmist Bart is going on about?
She claims that Wimbledon cannot bar unvaccinated players. It is illegal.

I’m supposed to make sense of the W rules. Try this one on.
“The All England Club said fans must wear face coverings at the venue grounds but will not be required to wear masks and maintain social distancing when seated.”

If Broadway can bar the unvaccinated from entering theatre , Wimbledon can certainly do the same for unvaccinated players. What exactly is the issue.

That one I can see making sense if they have sold tickets on the basis that you are only seated close to other members of your own group/party.
I know but by the time they get it thousands of people around the globe will fake it.
Well, that's OK but they do not have a GLOBAL database! What happens if I come over from wherever I am and flash my certificate? How would you check the validity of it? Which database are you going to use?My state has a central database of Rona vaccinations (I presume all do), a digital vaccine passport and an app that checks vaccination status instantly.

Well, according to the Wimbledon officials and the tournament covid rules, even if she was fully vaccinated, she would have been still deemed as a close contact and forced to withdraw from the tournament, so no, vaccination hasn't got anything to do with her banishment from Wimbledon this year I'm afraid.

We have a dictator as Prime Minster and Matt Hancock the former Health Secretary was caught breaking his own Covid rules seeing a Woman behind his wife's back.
In Britain we have a substantial number vaccinated, I've had my first dose 2 weeks ago!, a number of the unvaccinated most likely have antibodies having had Covid, so we've got two lines of defence against Covid yet we've got this corrupt Government in charge.
I thought we "trusted the science"? We obviously don't here in Britain, we're a complete LAUGHING stock and everyone knows it.
By the way I'm not having a "vaccine passport" domestically, Boris can stuff it, I'm having my vaccine to get back to normal (the old normal) and to keep safe not for Digital ID's and or Social Credit.

Schools were needlessly shut down for a year, long after the Science showed it was safe to reopen. Blame that on the teacher's unions. Florida has gotten it right.

"We were the leading state fighting against coronavirus lockdowns," DeSantis recounted. "I believe had Florida not done that, you would see the other states to have followed Canada, for example, [which] is still locked down."

Florida leads nation in new daily cases of COVID-19, doctors say
Things may be feeling more normal in the community, but the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, especially in the Sunshine State. Florida leads the nation for new daily cases of COVID-19 and Bay Area hospitals say the patients landing in their beds tend to be younger and unvaccinated.
As usual, you are very wrong.

Sydney was the darling of the alt-right and now it has a wave of covid and lockdowned. Florida chose the Osterich strategy of burying its head in the sand. Florida flopped completely!

If that is supposed to account for your typically nasty comments (in this case, pleased Konta got Covid) it doesn't fly.

Yes, their hands are tied once a player tests positive or is a close contact. British Health regulations requires that players isolate for 10 days.
But Wimbledon has no legal obligation to admit non-vaccinated players or their non-vaccinated team members .
If you were running Wimbledon, would you allow non vaccinated players/team members? Are you claiming that it is illegal to deny them entry?

If I lived in Florida, it wouldn't need to. Top floor reaches all the way down to the basement. At least you could take refuge at the billiard hall?
All very sad, avoidable and regretable. Your state and country's recent covid history is a cause for shame, not bragging.

1 death is too many, the whole thing has been sad and ridiculous. The time for lockdowns however has passed.
I hope it stays that for you, but you know what they say .. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

It's passing because of vaccination, but most of the people objecting to lockdowns object also to vaccination.
Wow! That must hurt, if I were her. Knowing that Rafa, Novak and a few others were so close to Medvedev when he was tested positive prior to Monte Carlo, she must be heartbroken. Quite sad for the top tennis organizations that they have such a hard time seeing appropriate, or shall I say less double-standarded regulations for their top athletes. But Bianca Andrescu from Canada was in a similar situation prior to the AO this year.
