Up to $6.5 Billion lost from Florida's economy from 'snowbirds'

[BlueWavePsych]

ORLANDO, Fla. - Thousands of snowbirds travel to Florida every year to live in Florida during the winter. However, because of COVID-19, some will not be this year.

For those north of America, the main issue for these snowbirds is the U.S.- Canadian border, which remains closed and has been for the last six months. That could cause an enormous economic hit in Florida.

According to a survey published by the Canadian government in 2018, Canadians spend about 6.5 billion in Florida every year.

Aside from Covid-19, those Canadians won't return until there is a vaccine AND Drumpf is gone.

1. And that's not counting all the Americans who won't be visiting Florida either.

Florida was a favorite destination for many New Yorkers.

Danny Thomas "met" Sheriff Andy Taylor, he was driving too fast through Mayberry, North Carolina while going between NY and FL!

3. And this moron thinks opening restaurants and

lifting any directives to wear masks will fix it? If anything, the mask wearing alone will deter people.
