Group B will consist of the selfish, don't care about anyone else, ,ignore the authorities, do what they please, entitled Narcissists. They will compound the problem and end up infecting many, including innocent Group A people. Sick Group A people will have a frightening chance of dying from this. So imagine if they find out they got infected by a Group B idiot. They are going to be really ticked off and rightfully so. Narcs don't have the maturity to take responsibility for their thoughtless actions, but they should be held accountable. If they cause the death of an innocent due to their careless attitudes spreading the virus, then they should be prosecuted for manslaughter. You think the division political parties cause is bad? That will look like a kindergarten tea party compared to this. People will start noticing who the Group B ones are and things will never be the same. It will divide The Villages and possibly the country unlike anything we've ever seen. It's really hard to have any respect for narcissists because of their behavior and lack of empathy.
It's going to get worse before it gets better. We have already had to stretch the isolation to the end of April to try and contain the damage. The country might never heal from the financial toll as well. Apparently there are too many not taking this seriously enough, which will just draw this out longer. Martial Law might become necessary to protect the rest of us from you troublemakers. So all you "B"s out there, put your adult panties on, be the solution instead of the problem, and STAY THE FORK HOME already! It's NOT that hard! So what if you're bored. Boo-hoo! Get over yourselves! It's just a temporary inconvenience for the greater good. We are all in the same boat.

I can't decide to agree or not, until you define the groups better. What activities do you consider "group B"?
People sitting on their own lanais/porches outside the door of their house?
People walking their dog?
People getting out to walk alone or with spouse?
People going for a golf cart ride to get fresh air?
People watching the sunset at least 6 feet from anyone else?
Golfers?
Pickleball players?
People congregating in groups and even dancing at the periphery of the squares?
People lining up close to each other waiting for the senior hour at the store?
Some of those are harder to answer than others, which is why I threw the no-brainers in
And then keep in mind people have to go to the grocery store, the pharmacy, and eventually the gas station. Other people need to have their food delivered since they lack mobility
So, if you are a perfect "group A" member, you have every right to be PO'ed if you get the virus from and idiot who joined a group of 40 watching the sunset. But what if you got infected from an asymptomatic person who had to go to the pharmacy to get their life saving cardiac meds? And how would you know which one infected you? Who would you point your divisive finger at?
The point is that you can
mitigate the risk, but you cannot eliminate it.
