Buckeye here too, but not blue. RED. I am a firm believer of the free market. I am a supporter of capitalism. I consider myself a supporter of traditional medicine, not a holistic girl. I worry about our economy. I agree that if people want to risk dining out, then that is their choice.

However, I am of the belief that the mere fact that a person is 70 or older makes them at higher risk. I doubt few of the age who predominantly live in The Villages, do not have elevated blood pressure or edgy chlorestorol, or perfect heart rhythms or do not have the natural, normal slope in health that comes with age. In other words, if you take any prescribed medication, or refuse to take any prescribed medication that means you have an elevated risk....even if it works.

Plus a lot of sane people are not terrified. They are choosing not to go to restaurants and feel bad and guilty that they are not supporting the economy. Free enterprise to me is a good thing. Living another ten years is however an important goal of mine.
