I know this is especially hard on places that rely so much on tourism, which is why Florida's in the same boat. (Also, Florida's full of idiots. There's a reason "Florida Man" is a thing...)

LOL yeah Florida is definitely being stupider.
It's hard all around but it's also like if we become a hot spot then the tourism suffers more than it does had we just opened up more slowly. My sister's in California and she was shocked we opened the casinos already. We'll see how this plays out. She wants to come out and see dad but knows it's not safe yet so I'm gonna set up a Zoom chat this week so he can see the kids. I think it's the not visiting that's hard.
RokofAges75:
The not visiting is definitely the hardest part. I'm a homebody and an introvert who doesn't get lonely, and even I am glad to be able to see my family and friends again. Our dinner out tonight was nice and felt mostly normal.
It looks like baseball will be starting back at the end of July! I'm excited for that!

When my sister moved to Canada, she really couldn’t do anything because they wouldn’t approve a work visa for her because they didn’t feel like her skill set was essential, so she actually had to commute to Buffalo for work. In the end she decided to just move back to the US. If Trump gets re-elected I’m sure there might be a surge of people trying to cross the border. Trudeau might have to build a wall lol

Yeah, it's very easy to say "I'm moving to Canada!" but not so easy to actually do it. I don't even really know what Canada's requirements are, but I never fully realized until I started watching 90 Day Fiance what a long process it is to even get a visa to come to the U.S., at least depending on what country you're coming from. I would imagine Canada is similar. I've said I would love to move to the U.K. too, and I do think I would love living there, but will I ever do it? Doubtful. The reality is, I would never want to move that far from my family, and I'd have to be desperate to jump through all the hoops needed to immigrate.

Well the UK is a lovely place to live, lots of beautiful places to visit, but I've never lived anywhere else so can't compare it to other countries.
RokofAges75:
It really is! I studied abroad in Scotland 15 years ago, and it's the most beautiful place I've ever been. I would love to live in a cute little cottage there.
