Because they reject reality and see only the scope of their own ignorance.

To those who are offended by this: look in a mirror. You're probably one of the people I'm talking about.
Me being a senior to many posters rankle at words making olders look ignorant. Especially my peers here in The Villages.

It appears that MOST of the seniors living in and around The Villages are taking this pandemic very seriously. Look at the low numbers of Sumter County and the overwhelming responses of almost everyone I communicate with who has a real name on Facebook. You can tell by how they manage the rest of their lives that they are mostly prudent people. We have the best credit ratings in The Villages, the best in The Country. We think ahead, save our money and take care of our own.

And we give nasty microbes a wide berth and have attractive masks too.
