Some post things like "we don't have THOSE kinds of things, OUR VILLAGE is in the middle of a pandemic" ! That's news ? Others post, are THOSE allowed ? Can you guess who will call the police as soon as they spot any normalcy, happiness, or people just enjoying themselves ? Never mind everyone has a perfect right to stay in their own home, keep the doors and windows locked, and not let anyone else in, we all have that right, but we also have a right to responsibly listen to some music from time to time. Would be a good time to spread a little kindness, tolerance, and understanding that no one is forcing anyone to enjoy their neighbors, some conversation, and some music. Wish my location had MORE than one or two a month !
We don't have driveway party's in my village. There is a world wide pandemic. The people who are most at risk are older people and it is rare for ANYONE over the age of 60 NOT to be on some medication, and that is what is meant by extenuating circumstances not just people on chemo. No one is scared out of their tree. No one is paranoid. We do know that one out of ten of people die of Covid-19 if they are over 75 and catch it.

The police won't ever be called by most of us but most of us are taking this very seriously. Polls show that 80% of the American Public, no matter how you vote or what age you are, are listening to Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx and they do not think this pandemic will be over soon.

I was the one who said this before and I will say it again. We aren't having driveway parties in our village of Bridgeport at Laurel Valley because there IS a worldwide pandemic going on and 45 people have died from Covid-19 in small little Sumter County since March.
