Not true. A friend is on his way south in his motorhome right now. He had his coach shipped across the border then flew over and started the drive.
The lengths some people go to to shorten their lives amaze me. I hope they realize that no matter what their insurance says it is very unlikely they can be airvaced back to Canada & free medical if they get covid. In a worst case scenario they could spend 3 months in a US hospital, and travel insurance or not, they would be on the hook for 100's of thousands. On the other hand they may get it, survive and become a long hauler with all sorts of medical issues. Next season when they apply for travel insurance they may find they either can't get it, or afford it. Have a nice time spending the next 20 winters snowbound. I value my retirement years, I worked a lot of years to get them. I am not willing to risk them over one season of snow.
You can’t make blanket statements like that, the area of NW Florida he’s heading to is very sparsely populated and has (and has had) a much lower cases count than his part of Canada.
On top of that he spends his summers in a place that just cannot be occupied for the winter so he would need to go some other place anyway and the built up areas where he could possibly rent have higher case counts also.
In his case Florida was his best option.
