So the whole country should stay locked up? Or high risk population should be careful? Hmmmm...maybe facts should prevail instead of hysteria...
I think that The Villages has mostly wise people living here based on the fact they have lived for many decades, experienced many things, some wonderful, some just awful, have accumulated wisdom and know what they know and respect what they don't know.

For each of us it is an individual choice. We are mostly retired and can choose to wait to be more exposed, or to take our chances. We will not change anyone's mind.

I sincerely hope that every single person reading this will not get sick or die from Covid-19 and that you will find much to occupy your time if you choose to not sally forth.

I am heartened and encouraged and dare to hope that there will be a vaccine soon that will at least partially provide a kick for our bodies to stand up to this new nasty bug.

I truly understand that unless business continues in some form there will be repercussions of another sort that will destroy the economy and that too is supportive of health and security.

I learned from living so long that nothing is really black or white. Be careful my friends. I want you all to be here and us too, come the New Year.
