I know it’s popular to be on one side of the debate or the other and as Eisenhower once said “throw rocks at those in the middle”. I believe in living my life and respecting others by wearing a mask as I think is appropriate and I don’t mind being somewhere in the middle on this subject. Wearing a mask, social distancing and often washing your hands seems to me a reasonable approach to the virus and still allows you to live a rich and active lifestyle.

I'm afraid the concept of pragmatism is lost on many people in the Villages.
