ESPECIALLY since there is still the same amount of danger in catching Covid-19 as there was before they were shut.........and we in The Villages with our age group are most at risk.
You're drawing an arbitrary line in a swimming pool situation, so I have a few questions:

When are you going to get your hair cut?

When exactly will you feel safe having a stranger touch you and enter your "personal space"? Manicures/pedicures? Spa treatments, massages?

Do you ever intend to visit another doctor? Dentist? Eye exam? Has your vision changed and what do you intend to do to address it if it has? How about dental cleaning?

When can children play together again? Attend class in person? Play sports? Act in plays? Play in bands? Dance together? Can colleges resume classes? Dining halls open? Dormitories?

Is air travel safe? How about cruise ships/ferries/water taxis? Can you attend a professional sporting event in a stadium or arena? When can amusement parks and national parks open? How about beaches?

Restaurants? Are they viable business models with only one third of their tables open due to social distancing guidelines? How about bars? Live theatre?

These questions are literally endless...
