This is fact: 8 out of 10 individuals who contact Covid 19 have a mild reaction. A very tiny % end up on a ventilator.

Where did you get the 20% face the risk of dying, curious.

What is now pretty obvious is a very large percentage of residents here take Pickleball way to seriously.

It is a good pastime and a has a side benefit of exercise etc. but honestly bringing a bucket of Water/Mr Clean to disinfect the balls is nuts. This was actually done before the courts were closed.

The #1 crazy incident happened at Rohan where individuals cut the plastic zip at one of the courts and were caught.

Warned that they next time the police will be called and they would be arrested for trespass.
