I find your post both rude and self serving. Pickleball is not the only way to exercise, it is just your favorite way. You could walk or run as well. As far as refunding the amenities fees goes, that would lead to a lack of care for the amenities arenas. Pickleball courts would not be kept up along with many of the others. Calling people who don't want to catch the virus a germaphobe is atrocious. I doubt anyone wants to contract the virus. A germaphobe is afraid of all germs, not just the one about which we know very little. I guess if you are playing pickleball and increasing your exposure to the virus you will do the polite thing and not go into a grocery store a church or a restaurant which are opening soon. Or would you, is it all about you? Not allowing people out to things which they do just for recreation, IMHO, keps the whole population safer. Grow up and think of everyone.
