[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t mean to imply I wasn’t going to ask her! I’m more wondering about whether or not even to offer it given the logistics. She’s 78, and she can take care of herself. But she’s alone so doesn’t even have a spouse to be with if she’s isolating. It’s a tough one.[/quote]

There's suggestions the virus doesn't thrive well in hotter climates. So Florida may be a good place to ride it out. [/quote]

False. It has done just fine in Singapore and it's warm in Australia right now, where it is spreading. Further, FL has a large older population (high risk folks), a high population of crazies who make weird decisions, and it has a lot of int'l tourists. So FL is the last place I'd want to be now.[/quote]

The virus is firmly under control in Singapore. It hasn't spread. One can also look at hot and humid countries like Vietnam and the Philippines, which, amazingly, have had minimal outbreaks despite huge urban poor populations living in extended shantytowns and close proximity to China.

The real question is whether or not hotter weather controls the spread of the virus rather than exacerbating it. It doesn't stop it outright. So far Florida isn't seeing the kinds of spread happening in the North. Or Arizona etc. [/quote]
That's wishful thinking and making up your mind based on what you want to see. there's some news out today --wish I could find it now--about several countries in warmer climates that are reporting their first cases or first few cases. Please stop trying to rationalize your way into demonstrating the foolish behavior of traveling around the country to other communities.[/quote]
