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.

Agree with most of what you wrote but do not think we will have a virus by mid September.
As I understood it two 30,000 double blind tests have just started will run for about 90 days before they understand the results.
Figuring at best very end of the year but of course first responders, ,medical workers and other essential people will come to the head of the line before us old folks.
Hoping early next year but we shall see.
