If you are over 65 and if you want to live longer, stay away from crowds and wear a mask. It isn't a hoax. Over 114,000 people in the U.S. are dead that were alive before St. Patrick's day this year.

I am so hoping for a vaccine and then I find out about those who think that is some sort of a conspiracy. I am beginning to dislike some old people.
Thank you Gracie for a common sense post. I agree now is no time to get too lax with this virus. Many of us in The Villages are above 70 years of age and vulnerable. More testing is a good thing. There were probably a number of people who had/have coronavirus and asymptomatic. Social distancing and wearing a mask while in a public building is a no brainer IMHO. Stay safe.
