I tend to agree completely, nothing in my education and limited knowledge of virus transmission tells me it is transmitted in chlorinated water. That does not make sense, maybe more if it were a bacteria ? That part I am definitely not confident about here at The Villages is the "properly maintained" part. You sure don't see attendants taking in person test samples every two hours (as well as the computerized auto monitoring systems that do sometimes fail to give accurate readings and additions of the proper chemical balances) like you do at resorts, hotels, public swimming pools, and cruise ships ! Always wondered why we don't see these in person tests like at other places ? I am used to it now, but was shocked years ago that showers were only a "suggestion", and many people make no attempt to shower before getting into the water. That was very strange as I never lived where it was not mandatory, but apparently it is not a health risk here ?
