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?

I have always been told, and I believe it is good to be out and about with people unless you are immune challenged. Before Covid-19 I NEVER once wiped down a grocery cart and every week I was at Laurel Manor with four different groups of people. I never flinched if someone sneezed and I sort of was "ouchy" around germaphobes.
But this, My friend is a horse of a different color. And the few statistics we can trust indicate that the age group living in The Villages is the most at risk. Are we sure the pool water is killing all of those teeny tiny virus bastards?
You go ahead, you and your wife. BUT PLEASE don't call others "paranoid".
