You can hear anything hanging around the outhouse. You cannot do that unless someone declares Martial Law.

I heard the FL gov issued orders requiring people flying in from NY & NJ must go into a 14 day quarantine.

if you don't have contact with them or frequent the same spaces you should be safe. might be more dangerous to leave.

Like most everyone else we plan to ride this out at home. While traveling we will only have public contact for fueling and walking the dogs, the rest of the time we’ll be in the coach. There are a number of storms coming through at the moment so we’re hoping to avoid them. And since we have to quarantine when we get home we are enjoying the last of warm sunny weather and an empty beach while we can.

The Governor and I assume you have an internet connection to satisfy your own curiosity.
I should have added that if THEY do close the border it would not be the first time. Occasionally we do get hurricanes down here and they have closed the border before for all but essential traffic. If you got caught out of State during those times, you could not go home. It can happen altho the Gov is not willing to go that far yet. A lot depends on how this is spreading.

you're the one making the claim so it's on you to back it up.

but...https://www.wtvy.com/content/news/Law-enforcement-Rumors-of-Florida-border-shutdown-are-false-568983291.html

also did a search for any instance of florida closing their border for any reason...no hits. so, back to you to back up your statements. otherwise please try and calm down.

Apparently as a Floridian you have no cause for alarm.

Where we are staying the manager is stuck in Canada so her friend came to "watch the resort". Everyone has left or cancelled except for two couples. We were content to have no new arrivals and we are basically self-quarantined. Now the new arrival wanted to bring her son and we said no, then this morning her daughter-in-law dropped off a baby, then the other grandmother stopped by to see the baby, and later the daughter-in-law is coming to pick up the baby. When we confronted her she said she does this every day and we aren't stopping her "and it doesn't matter anyway because Floridians can't catch the virus".

As someone posted earlier, you can't fix stupid even with duct tape.

We reached out to the manager and she says her friend will not be bringing anyone on the property. If she continues we're all leaving.

Ron, let us know how the Closing the State boarders work. There is only one way that can happen, but Americans have been Free for too long for many to put up with that.

Of course. Closing the border is about as enforceable as a stay at home order. One of the things suggested is to block airline travel out of NY coming to FL. As I said, common sense does not seem to work with some people.

If you read the latest news you will also find out about the unintended consequences of a "stay at home" order. It appears that the people of New York do not believe in actually staying at home. To them the stay at home order means to hop on a flight, in great numbers, and go to Florida. This is just what we need, people traveling from infected areas and coming down to my State to bring their infection with them.
We had to close the beaches because the college kids did not have enough sense to stay away from each other. Now we have to deal with a bunch of adults that feel that they know better than the experts. Perhaps these are the parents of the college kids. They are now talking about closing our State border because of these selfish idiots.

Here in Wilmington NC all the areas beaches are now closed. In fact they just announced today that all short term rentals are to evacuate by Wednesday. The beaches were packed with tourists over the weekend. Apparently stay at home means take a vacation. Aside from buying up items from stores still trying to recover from the initial hording, I imagine we will see a spike in cases as a result of droves of people flocking here who decided their mini vacation was more important than the health of it's residents.
