Wait, what? You can still fly from Canada to Florida?As a Canadian I can still fly OUT of the country to most destinations, but I can't use the land border crossing.

Yes, it's only the land border that we are not allowed to cross. Canadians have always been allowed to fly into the US and Mexico this entire pandemic (not the same for US citizens who can still fly into Mexico but cannot fly into Canada except under very strict circumstances). But again, we've got a mandatory 14 day quarantine waiting for us so yeah....we're not going anywhere til that is lifted, sigh.Wait, what? You can still fly from Canada to Florida?
In the early days of the pandemic, President Emmanuel Macron exhorted the French to wage “war” against the coronavirus. Today, his message is to “learn how to live with the virus.”
. . .
Having abandoned hopes of eradicating the virus or developing a vaccine within weeks, Europeans have largely gone back to work and school, leading lives as normally as possible amid an enduring pandemic that has already killed nearly 215,000 in Europe.
. . .
“We are in a living-with-the-virus phase,” said Roberto Speranza, the health minister of Italy, the first country in Europe to impose a national lockdown. In an interview with La Stampa newspaper, Mr. Speranza said that though a “zero infection rate does not exist,” Italy was now far better equipped to handle a surge in infections. “There is not going to be another lockdown,” Mr. Speranza said.
With the CDC making an announcement that America should have enough doses of the vaccine by late Q2 2021 or early 3Q 2021, it very well may be until late summer until sailings resume.
That is, if they decide to wait and sail until there is a vaccine.
Yep, I have a cruise scheduled for Dec 12-19 a 7 night Eastern Caribbean. No way that Disney starts out cruising on a 7 night cruise. I could see a 3 or 4 night, but not a 7 night. Or they really want that Christmas season in tact?They actually cancelled through Dec. 12 (Fantasy)
I voted fall 2021 to Sept. 20202 based entirely on the latest computer models showing the infection rate projected in January 2021 to be double what August was, and August had a record number of infections nationally.
If cruising does start before a vaccine, here's my worry.
Will other counties allow US citizens into their country.
I'm sure the Sturgis motorcycle rally made the news all around the world. Crowded bars while colleges open back up, crowded beaches before summer is over. A wedding here in MN had 275 guests, not socially distancing, not wearing masks and 56 people came down with COVID-19 directly related to the wedding. There are many other stories like this every day in the news.
Too many people are not taking this seriously, not following precautions to slow it down. Why would other countries allow us to disembark?
I voted for March 2021. I hope that with so many labs in so many countries working on a vaccine; there will be a vaccine by the end of 2020. And they will be able to produce enough of it and they will come up with a method to distribute it globally for this to happen.
I don't know, IHME charts show March was a quiet month for deaths but deaths have been steadily increasing every day since April. They are predicting deaths to soar in January 2021 https://covid19.healthdata.org/global?view=total-deaths&tab=trend"Infections" occur when someone catches the virus. "Cases" occur when an infected individual is tested and confirmed to have been infected. The US testing capacity in August was about 6X what it was in the spring. August did not have a record number of "infections" or "cases." According to IHME, peak "infections" in the US were 282 thousand on March 29. The summer peak "infections" were about 157 thousand on July 18. The current "infection" rate was estimated at 154 thousand yesterday. "Cases" (confirmed infections) peaked July 24.
Having said that, a cruise ship is one of the more likely environments for a virus to spread. So, I think the fall 2021 return date is as good as any.

According to the link, worldwide daily deaths peaked at 7,517 on April 13. They estimate 5,842 deaths for today. They do predict deaths to soar in December, but do not yet show any projections for dates past January 1.
Closer to my home (in the US), daily deaths also peaked in April (April 16) at 2,312. More recently, deaths have been running about 900 per day. They are projecting an early December peak of about 3,100 per day, but don't yet provide any projections past January 1.
