Stop. Think.
In the grocery we aren't up close and personal, not even at check out as we are when someone is cutting our hair. OR as close as a waitress who is handling the plate with our food on it. Did she wash her hands after removing the plates from the table that is six feet from us?
Friends went to Orange Blossom on March 17th, ten of them. The waitress was sniffing. Six in the group became sick. My friends, one was in intensive care for ten days and the other was so sick at home that a friend moved in with her. She became so dehydrated at one point she had to be taken by ambulance to emergency for six hours to be rehydrated. They are younger than us. They are very active.
I wish we knew more about the cases of people who have contracted it here in The Villages. This is the only instance of anyone I know who has contracted the virus.
Does anyone else know anyone personally? Obviously I can't vouch it was Covid-19. I certainly do not fault the waitress or the restaurant. I do believe that it very well have been Covid-19, but I am just grateful our friends are slowly recovering.
We all have been told that it spreads very easily from one human to another. We all know that the older we are the more deadly it is. These two are at least ten years younger than us.
I just heard this from them yesterday. I got a call from them. This is someone we know well and have known for several years. They are friends who have visited our home many times and we have dined with them and we have visited their home. I trust that what they told me is truthful. They live in the older section of The Villages.
