Let me tell you about the west coast of Florida. Walking the dogs this morning and we stopped so two runners could cross "socially distant" from us. They yelled over that we were the first people they had encountered who did that and thank you! My wife yelled back that it's because we don't live here and they said "neither do we, we're Canadian".
Went to Publix to get food for the trip north. Walked in the door and the guy in front of us stopped to blow his nose. We quickly steered around him an encountered a woman with a mask just starting a coughing fit. We bolted from the area, bought our food, took it outside and wiped everything with disinfecting wipes and put in the coach.
I like Floridians, I was a resident in the Keys for a number of years, but they aren't taking this seriously. One local actually said "it's okay, we can't catch it because we live here". Ouch.
Anyway, you should be fine. We need to travel for 3 nights north to get home and have plans for each interaction with humans. The best advice I got from this board is to use dog poop bags when pumping gas (72 hours virus life cycle on pump handles). Easy on, easy off into the always handy trashcan.
We love coming to Florida for a couple of months, but today we started packing the coach to head home and for once there are no regrets!
