SOUTHWEST Fla. – One day after a COVID-19 vaccine was recommended for approval in the U.S., many are already looking forward to the day that we get back to some semblance of normalcy.
“Maybe we can start losing the masks,” Florida Gulf Coast University student Noah Barbot said.
Governor Ron Desantis announced Thursday night on social media that the state of Florida will receive 179,400 vaccines within the next week.
“I’m looking forward to the people who are concerned about the virus getting their vaccine,” Peter Guidi said. “I sure hope it works.”
Since each person who receives a vaccine will need two doses, that means we’ll have enough to vaccinate just over 89,000 people with frontline healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities expected to be among the first.

Wildlife officials in Florida are trying a new way to combat the spread of pythons in the state by convincing the public they’re a delicacy.
In an effort to combat the booming population of the invasive species, believed to have started when people released pets into the wild, the state is trying to encourage more hunting, the Sun-Sentinel reports.
Some citizens have begun killing and using the snakes in cooking, comparing the taste to a pork chop, according to the Sun-Sentinel. A seven-and-a-half-foot snake can provide up to four pounds of meat in a five-foot long filet.
