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".
Where in that post did I call anybody paranoid? I said fearful. I'm over 65 and have a form of asthma which puts me at a higher risk, but I should still have the right to decide how much risk I'm willing to assume for myself. Being in the fresh air and sunshine and swimming in a chlorinated pool doesn't bother me. Being in an enclosed airliner at this time or on the shuttle to MCO is more risk than I'm comfortable with, but I don't want to prohibit travel for others.
