In reply to the discussion: Floridians - I'm so sorry [View all]smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)30. My parents are down in Siesta Key until the end of April and I am worried about them.
They are on a private beach, but I know they probably make runs to the stores every now and then and if restaurants are open they are probably dining out as well. My sister and her family are planning to go down to visit in April and that worries me as well. One of her daughters is asthmatic.
We all get along well and that is because we have agreed not to talk politics with each other, but they are all republicans so I don't think they are taking this as seriously as they should. I wish the state would impose stricter standards. You know that most of these elderly people are not going to isolate themselves if they aren't force to. I can only hope for the best.
