Not all snowbirds are *literally* snowbound in the winter. Some come from mid-country lowlands, where there isn't a LOT of snow, for most of the year, and temps rarely get below 20. Some come from other continents, and fly overseas to return to the Villages in the winter, and their homes have moderate climates almost all year 'round.
Part of the problem is that snowbirds travelling by air are most likely to land in Orlando, which is being hit fairly hard by the virus. Flights are more limited now as well, and we don't know what air travel will look like in a month when the snowbirds are due to return.
For those who drive to Florida, I think it might be business as usual for most of them.
Even though the Villages hasn't been hit with all that much virus activity, the state of Florida IS the epicenter of the virus and has been for weeks now. If that doesn't improve within the next couple of weeks, I'll be curious to see how many snowbirds are willing to come back this season.
