TV is NOT the epicenter of the virus in Florida. If anything, it's safer than many communities in other States. We go to the same stores each week and see the same workers we have seen since March. If this were such a hot spot wouldn't you expect to see people dropping like flies? Not happening.

A little perspective, Florida has 22 million people. As of today there are 500,000 confirmed positive cases of Covid 19. Do the math, that is only 2.27% of the entire Florida population. And most cases are in the Miami-Dade area, not the tri county area here. Remember also, a positive test result does not equal a death sentence in the vast majority of cases. Those with compromised immune systems should certainly take precautions and be cautious but please stop with the broad brush.

I expect by mid September, a vaccine will be ready, borders will open, and snowbirds will return.
