Because COVID? I think the real question is whether he will catch the virus on this trip. My money is on yes.

If he does, it looks like he'll have company as Parker Stinson is registered. ...Only other names I recognized are Will Cross and Kurt Roeser, both capable of a 1:06.
Naples is awesome in January, absolutely. That wave start will make it a little harder for Seth to hit his time goal though. He said before in his vlog that he chose this race because he wanted to just tuck in to a pack and race others, which seems unlikely to happen with the guidelines put in place. I wouldn't travel that far to likely end up doing something I could have done on a bike path, particularly with the added risk of COVID, but I also don't have a daily vlog as my primary source of income and several kids to feed.
The weather looks good and the course is fast. If I were to bet I'd take the over though if the hypothetical line was set at 65 minutes.

Oh no and he’ll be completely fine

Nice catch. Here is what I came up with, looking at bibs with a low number:
Bib #........Name...........PB....................Oly Trials
1..............P. Stinson.....2:10:53
5............K. Roesser......2:18:00........2:24:08
11.........S. Martinez....2:18:00........2:20:10
13............N. French.......2:18:44........2:36:17
15...........J. Werble.....FAU Grad, his 1st Half
#16 and #20 are older Masters prob seeded too high
#23.........S. DeMoor
29..........W. Cross.......2:17:33.........2:21:16
He will run 1:06: xx and then post a rambling 14 minute vlog the following day . Highlights will include:
"I am disappointed but,..."
"I felt like I was in 1:04 shape but..."
"It was warmer and more humid than I am used to..."
"I was hoping to start with Parker Stinson but, these things don't always work out. I know. I'm just saying that if I could've run with Parker..."
"I dropped my wave partners by two miles and it was a really long solo effort..."
"Here's where I think things started to fall apart, oh!... viking72 says. "You're still my hero!" and he's rocking the butter my bread and tea mug emojis! Thanks, viking72! You are my hero for being part of the SJD Global Running fam!..."
This is spot-on, but let's remember, his channel and his journey is about experimentation. He is experimenting with training and racing. And sometimes it will go tremendously well, and sometimes it will fall flat. Listen, he didn't train for going through the Half at Amsterdam in 1:06... it was a by-product of a great training cycle and although he suffered a massive crash, it was a big breakthrough. Same with Pikes Peak. He won big with unconventional training and experimenting with everything.
I applaud him for lining up and giving the effort. The same cannot be said for many.

He had more than a 1 in 10 chance of catching it. Basically his chances of catching covid are higher than his chances of running a sub 1:05.
