It is very difficult in my line of work to plan a vacation. Wife and I had a trip planned for June 25-30 for months now only to have it evaporate due to the coronavirus. We are now thinking about a trip to 30A. I know that nobody can predict for sure when or if the suspension on vacation rentals will end by our dates, however any information on the likelihood that might happen by the above dates would be greatly appreciated. If we can't take a vacation on the above dates, it will be quite a while before we can plan another. TIA.

We have had a lot of “movement” in the homes that are in our community. I know who my neighbors are for the most part. Can someone catch me up to speed bc apparently the reps at Vacasa are saying they are currently allowed to rent to Florida residents? Then someone else mentioned that the rental ban has been extended another 60 days...... ????

No they arent allowed to rent to FL residents yet. The governor said that WHEN he opens the rentals up (possibly in Phase 2) that it MAY only be to FL residents. The rental ban has a date of "indefinite" right now. So they are breaking the law and can be reported to the sheriffs office and he will come make sure the persons there are LEGALLY there or else they will be asked to leave. If they are from certain states they will be made to isolate or leave.

The Republican governors of three states—Georgia, Texas and Florida—that pushed their states to reopen quickly face low marks in their handling of the outbreak, a new poll finds, while governors from both parties that took a more cautious approach to easing restrictions have won praise.

The poll, conducted by the Washington Post and Ipsos in a survey of over 8,000 adults, shows that a governor’s approach to reopening transcends politics, despite the partisan politics playing out over President Trump’s handling of the virus.

The poll found Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who was slow to shut down his state and one of the first to reopen, with the lowest approval rating at 39%, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis earned the second- and third-lowest marks at 57% and 60%, respectively.

The highest mark was given to Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine at 87% approval, who has been heralded for his measured approach to opening the state; New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and California Governor Gavin Newsom, both Democrats, earned the next highest approval with approval from about eight in ten adults.

GOP Governors Who Reopened Quickly Met With Low Approval Ratings, New Poll Finds
18 days after Gov. Kemp opened up the state the # of new cases has dropped slightly. Good for him. Don't know the results of the other states. United States Coronavirus: 1,470,688 Cases and 87,773 Deaths - Worldometer

Hope these trends continue. We just don't know yet...

Coronavirus cases aren't surging in high-risk states

The first stages of reopening haven’t produced a surge in coronavirus cases in most states — at least, not yet.

Yes, but: The reopening process is still in its early stages, so a second wave of infections still remains distinctly possible.

Between the lines: Our chart compares each state's seven-day average of new cases from Monday, and the seven-day average from a week prior, May 4.

  • Comparing the averages of two weeks helps smooth out a lot of the noise in how states sometimes inconsistently conduct and report tests.
  • The latest average captures the first full week in which some states began to ease some of their lockdown measures.
Some of the states that skeptics were most worried about, including Florida and Georgia, haven’t seen the rise in total cases that some experts feared.

  • Florida’s new cases have actually declined by 14% compared to the previous week, and Georgia’s fell by 12%.
  • Nevada leads the pack with a 44% reduction, while several hard-hit states that embraced aggressive lockdowns to help contain early outbreaks — Michigan, New York and New Jersey — all saw reductions of at least 30%.
The other side: Cases are still increasing in other parts of the country. The most worrisome is South Dakota, which saw a startling 123% increase, likely the result of outbreaks in the meat processing industry.

  • Total cases are an imperfect measure, in isolation, of an outbreak’s severity, because that count is limited by the amount of testing in each state, as well as differences in reporting.
  • But they're still an important part of the puzzle. Federal guidelines call for a steady decline in new cases for any reopening process to proceed.
The bottom line: None of this means any state is in the clear — as more businesses open and more people venture back out into the world, the risk of a second wave grows. But it’s an encouraging early sign.

All my friends in Atlanta telling me that they are still locked down or working from home. Possibly an effect to the numbers? Could it be some people have come to a different conclusion about what is personally safe, which is different than their governor?
