Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid

[Guy_Roan]

We own our own rv spot in Key Largo, Fl, but will be staying right here in the high country of NC until it is safe to go.
Our county here has only a total of five deaths and just a few hundred cases, while our county there has a few thousand cases.
It is a no brainer for us !

It always amazes me how hard it is to get news, as to how other countries are doing with the virus. Its like our news networks are afraid or embarrassed to report anything from other countries on the subject.

BBC and Der Spiegel are good. I think the latter has an English version as well.

Bowti -- Just couldn't agree more; the only two networks I can turn to for world news seem to be BBC and Newsy News.

Last week we had a few nights below freezing and thinking of what's to come in the high country here of NC at elev 3000. We are going to gamble, head to our paradise in Key Largo and spend the days in our hidden in the mangroves salt water jacuzzi with it's sandy bottom and crystal clear water

Wear your masks, physical distancing, wash hands frequently, use hand sanitizer, same as you would a home only in warmer conditions.

Pfizer may not have taken US money, but there was government money involved.

The fun in distributing the virus is still to come. I would not have any faith that the administration can handle the task.

I think the administration has done a fine job distributing the virus.:B It's distributing the vaccine I'm concerned about!

Apologies to the moderator...

Excellent story on 60 Minutes last Sunday (Nov 😎 on the US Army General running the program to ship the vaccine out, track distribution and such.

JaxDad --the vaccine has to be stored constantly at -103F. My goodness, what kind of refrigeration would a vaccine distributor need to accomplish that!!

A Yeti with a couple of blocks of dry ice.
