We have now been here just over 3 years. A lot is not available so I have switched to things that are still fun. I don't play golf but I love photography and had recently joined the birding group. I enjoy my time exploring new area with some of the birders. Many of the outdoor clubs are still meeting in small groups. I also spend time on my art as well as signing up for some online classes. We are all affected by this virus.

The entire US is affected. We just came back from a driving trip to Colorado for family matters and things are difficult there also. We had to cancel our fall vacation because the hotel said they were not allowed to take reservations from anyone that had flown in (really!) or anyone from Florida. So like many, we are staying positive that our new normal will include a lot more activity and socialization in the Villages. I am hoping that in 6 months things will look a lot better.
