Apple Reopens All 270 Retail Stores in the United States

[Steve686]

Everything's been open here in Florida since last Autumn. Europeans need to realize we don't have the social safety net that you have, even during a pandemic, and we had 5,500 new cases just yesterday in Florida. Every restaurant and bar in my area has been completely full including my own. Florida has had 30,851 covid deaths; China has only had 4,636 covid deaths. I've known 20 people that had covid and recovered, ages range from 8-75. My 94 year old grandmother and 74 year old mother haven't been vaccinated yet. 40+% of young people in this area say they won't get the vaccine. I know my family in Italy don't understand why we are open.

That’s why so many people are moving down here to Florida.

China doesn’t count shooting people in the back of the head as COVID deaths even though those people were infected.

Comments like this I have seen in the last year, are very calous.

It's like, well their health sucked anyways. Almost as if it was ok for them to die because their health sucked(sometimes by no fault of their own)

I'm sure thats not how you meant it but I have heard of over and over and it just seems like that's the case.

Of course that's not how I meant it, but that's the reality nonetheless. That doesn't excuse the anti-maskers, but America has a serious health crisis on its hands, and it's not COVID-19. Obesity and metabolic disease is the real epidemic here, and really becoming a pandemic globally. The death and hospitalization rates of those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s have shown us how devastating obesity, hypertension, diabetes are. Those people were already severely compromised.

I agree, I personally lost 60 pounds since April of 2020. Know why? Because I was unhealthy and overweight.

Amazing and congrats. That’s a big accomplishment. ?

Now people with numerous issues with their Mac/Macbook M1 have a place to return it.

Silver lining in every cloud...eh?

No reason for me to be afraid, I will catch it and get over it. For those that are, stay in wear your mask if you feel it helps you.

Sure you'll probably get over it, but you could end up with a clot in your lung, clot in your brain. Some after-effects that won't kick in for a few years,etc.

My cousins' family got covid. The boyfriend is out of work for three months. The daughter had a spinal tap to relieve pressure on her brain. The cousin recovered and is seemingly fine. You never know. I'd rather not get it (and I'm all vaccinated up)

I live in a city of 200,000. I also live in the most heavily vaccinated city in the entire United States. LOL. So yes, a lot of people did get vaccinated.

Amarillo leads nation in COVID-19 vaccine distribution, according to national nonprofit organization

The city of Amarillo is reporting that as of Sunday, 29,611 people in the area have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, consisting of 11.2% of individuals in the area, according to a news release.

So you made my point for me. It's stupid to compare land area as if people are spread out across it when most, including yourself are in cities. That's the argument. Not what the Amarillo times claims on vaccination.
