One month until September when the early birds will flock back.

So whats your guess on a percentage of birds that will come back? My guess is less than 50 percent. Renters..maybe even less than that.

If it were I, I'd be staying up there until a vaccine comes out. I'm originally from New Hampshire where, like a couple other states in New England, they are Covid-fearing people who follow the rules--NOT BLINDLY--but because it makes great Yankee Sense.

Nope, not next year.

What is the view on Canadian snowbirds and their inability to get US health insurance.

We've decided to wait until the first of January to come back. I figure that it is a lot easier to "shelter in place" where it is warm than to "shelter in place" when it is freezing and you have to be outside shoveling the snow. At least in The Villages with nothing much open, we can jump in the golf cart and go riding around in the sunshine and warmth. So no return in October this year but like the song says . . . I'll be "shoveling sunshine" this winter.

Interesting thread and opinions and hardly any politics

Own a house and will come and go as I please. People act like there is a place with no china flu. Lock yourself in a closet if you choose to but reasonable people will take reasonable precautions. Volunteer to be a guinea pig for the vaccine trials. If you do not die, I might consider it.

Received a brochure from Medipac. They are saying they are one of the few insurance companies covering Canadian snowbirds for covid. You may want to give them a call. But that’s only for air travel right now.

Why would we come back to the epicenter???? In this county in Wisconsin we have had 1 death and average 6 new cases a day. Pretty scary looking at the counties in around the Villages.

BTW we have great access to great medical facilities like Mayo.

Would you feel the same when temp is down to zero and two feet of new snow has fallen?

Stay safe

If I lived up north, did not own a home in TV but was a seasonal renter and wanted to be in a warmer climate this winter I would look for a destination where the Wuhan virus was somewhat under control, not where it was rampant. It is too early to determine what the virus situation will be months from now in TV IMHO.

[Two Bills]

We have rented for the winter season in TV for over 20 years now, but I think this may be the first year we stay home here in UK.
Not that it is any safer than Florida.
Our Covid record in Britain is a disaster, but mainly because at moment our medical insurance will not cover Covid in Florida, and to be honest, if I catch it, I would rather be at home as well.
I have been putting of having a knee replacement, so will get it done, and get over the physio during this winter.
Surgeon promised it will knock ten shots off my handicap as well, so may be able to take a few quid off the lads next spring!!

Medipac which is endorsed by the Canadian Snowbird Association is going ahead with its coverage as usual. At least that's what they told me via mail package 2 weeks ago.

One hard freeze and a few inches of snow. The southern migration will begin.

[petiteone]

I’m trying to figure out when I will be able to return. I normally return in October then fly back north for the Christmas holidays, the return in January. Problem is lack of airport shuttle service (I keep a car in FL) and quarantine in NY. I bet it will be at least January before I return this year.

Won’t rent unless amenities are open especially town square in evening
