It may not be too bad if they’re going to a county that’s not “in the thick of it” and/or they are not visiting bars/restaurants or crowded places outdoors.

Maybe talk to her about safe practices when they’re together? But at the end of the day, it’s her life, her choice. Help her think it through and come to HER OWN decision.

This. Something magical doesn’t just happen because you crossed a border into a state.

Possibly to see family or a loved one. Newsflash: The virus is everywhere, not just in Florida.

OP - Your mom and sister are adults. You can explain your side but it sounds like your risk tolerance is different than theirs. You can try to explain your perspective but at the end, the best you can do is then respect their choices.
