My wife read online somewhere (so take it with a grain of salt) that the squares are going to be opening back up in early October. If so, that could go a long ways towards making things seem normal.
I'm on the board of a social club (The Village Birders) and I know we haven't been told when we'll be able to hold "in person" meetings in the rec centers or what limitations there will have to be once we can.
The majority of people I see wear masks when they are remotely close to one another in public spaces. There are a few who feel that wearing a mask somehow impinges on their God-given right to be communicable disease spreaders, but this area is hardly unique in that regard.
Most restaurants are back open with some seating restrictions but, sadly, a few didn't survive and there may be more to come. The movie theaters opened briefly with only older movies, then shut back down. The performing arts centers have yet to announce when shows will be performing.
Some but not all pool activities are available at the sports pools and you can use the smaller neighborhood and family pools. Golf, if anything, is more popular than ever. Pickleball seems to be going full bore. People never stopped bicycling and some number of additional people took it up.
If you leave The Villages for traditional Florida activities, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The theme parks all seem to be open but with much smaller numbers of customers allowed, masks required and social distancing enforced. My wife and I went to Universal Studios last week and are heading to Islands of Adventure tomorrow. We felt safe and liked the much smaller crowds. Some beaches have been closed for holidays to keep the herds of idiots from crowding in but there are a LOT of beaches in Florida that are open.
So it's not 100% like it once was and maybe it won't be for quite a while. However, it seems to be a lot more "normal" than a lot of areas (think New York City) and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be during all this.
