The pool isn't the problem. There is plenty of evidence that the chlorine and bromine used in a well maintained pool inactivates the virus. Gate latches, restrooms and chairs are the concern. We all know how to social distance, and we should all know how to deal with the minor risk of a possibly contaminated surface by now. If we continue to impose restrictions on everyone to accommodate the worries of the most fearful among us, then moving to The Villages will become the biggest disappointment of our lives. Life isn't without risks. We should each have the freedom to assess the risks for ourselves. My wife loves reading by the pool and taking the occasional dip in the water. She misses her exercise and yoga classes at MVP. Why should she have to give up those things because someone else fears them. Wouldn't it make more sense for the fearful person to avoid them?
