I'm not minimizing the threat as I feel that the threat is huge. It's just that I thought that when it got here it would spread like wildfire. I thought the hospitals would be overwhelmed in a matter of days.

Maybe it's because the first cases got here around the same time as the Governor's stay at home order.

I've personally met and chatted with some people here in TV that think the everyone is over reacting and that it's not a big deal. I witnessed myself people in a supermarket standing within inches of one another and talking into each other's face.

I guess (hope) that these cases are few and far between but I really thought that once it got here we were going to see thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths within a matter of weeks.

It appears that we're doing a great job of mitigating. Way to go!!! Keep up the good work.
I think TV closing things down made a difference, starting with the recreation center classes. While some people feel deprived I feel great-full, the number of cases are low, I saw an article that some people feel they should get reimbursed for their amenity fees or have them reduced by the Morris family. We looked outside The Villages at quite a few developments in a few states and here, and all of the amenity fees were almost the same or more, and did not offer anywhere near as much free activities or at a minimal cost. I feel blessed to be here. Stay healthy.
