BUT the pools are not crowded this time of the year and those who want to sun bathe can alternate lounge chairs.

I see the beautiful golf courses CLOSED at 4:00...WHY, everything else is closed why not keep the only activity that is going strong open longer...maybe till 7:00pm. I went out on a course at 4:30, alone. It was as beautiful as ever, weather, sun going down, EMPTY! At the 6th hole the AMBASSADOR started YELLING at me. She told me there is a VIRUS going around....WOW!, didn't realize it!! She told me to immediately pick up my golf balls (2) AND NEVER DO THIS AGAIN!! I felt like I had to stand in the corner for an hour. Last time I looked we still pay our HOA FEE? IF, they reduce most of the activities in one area, why not increase them (GOLF) in another to off set it??
Actually not read anything related to the virus and pools. Clearly you can't swim with a mask on. I wonder if the pool water would kill the virus? If an infected person's mucus was in the water and you ingested it would you get sick? I know they close the pools when people accidentally poop in the pool but that may be because you know... 💩. You can see it and all. At this point I think I'd take my chances with poop over the virus, not sure ingesting someone else's poop will kill you. Hang in there, life will get back together soon.
