I doubt that that's a possibility but it does open the question of The Villages being sued if someone can prove that they caught the virus while attending an entertainment event at a square.

I agree with people being responsible for themselves but in our litigious society, I wouldn't be shocked to see this happen.

This can also be expanded to include someone who never went to the squares but has contracted the virus from someone who did.

As long as the CDC guidelines are in place, I think that The Villages has to be very careful.
