A very small percentage of folks infected die from it. From what I have heard, you cannot become immune to it without being exposed to it in some manner. Just stay 6 feet away from others and you don't need to worry. Only seven infected in the Villages portion of Sumter county have died. Wear your mask if you wish. Don't wear your mask if you wish. Either way is not bothering me. You can blame me all you want for your hysterical stress, but that is your problem, not mine. Do not think that you can make it mine, because unless there is a law making me do something, I do it on my own volition. Shaming someone is just another form of bullying, and I don't get bullied so you are wasting your time. I will say this one more time, I wear a homemade fabric mask when I go shopping. I do it because I chose to. As far as I am concerned it is a moot effort because I doubt anyone that I come near could infect me even if they had the virus. The chances of bumping into an exposed person in The Villages is? The chances of bumping into an infected person in The Villages and also becoming infected is? Since I only go shopping about once a week, the chances of bumping into an infected person once a week and also getting infected in The Villages is? See what I am saying? Like I said before, mass hysteria. BUT, I am glad that you all are concerned about yourselves and supposedly others. And be careful at the golf course, because the chances of you getting hit by a golf ball and killed is higher than you getting infected by someone in the Villages, while shopping.
