The pandemic does not seem to scare Americans


Snowbirds feel like they are escaping the pandemic, especially on this Fort Lauderdale beach photographed yesterday morning.

While Quebecers are once again struck by strict measures against COVID-19, life continues in Florida as if the pandemic did not exist.

Shops are crowded, masks are not compulsory, restaurants and private gatherings are unrestricted; in short, everything seems easier under the warm rays of the Florida sun.

We went on Boxing Day to one of the largest shopping malls in the Miami area, which was very crowded.


Photo taken yesterday at Sawgrass Mills, a well-known Fort Lauderdale mall. Masks were scarce.

The center is called the Sawgrass Mills and has 400 stores specializing in manufacturers' discounts, the famous outlets .

By our estimate, at least a third of the people who shopped there did not wear a mask.

And it was not only people isolated in the crowd, but also entire families, from the largest to the smallest, who ignored the sanitary measure.
