When we go out, will mask if go indoors to shop, Won't mask in open air and not near people. At the lakes and the trails/courses, the animals won't be masking and neither will we Happy Thanksgiving.
And yet another rational voice in the Villages. I am starting to realize it is not just bullies who hate seeing people do ANYTHING who post on here. Even when people are taking RATIONAL precautions and doing anything social (having a coffee outdoors at Starbucks, or a drink with friends outdoors at City Fire, or even eat IN a dining room, the bullies continue to berate them, even though they themselves have NO INTENTION of doing any of these things themselves. Perhaps the only objective is to make sure others are as unhappy as they seem to be ? Now yesterday the CDC once again "revised" the mask thing, hummm, I think one day when all this is over, everyone is going to be very surprised. Probably going to turn out you must be in VERY close contact with a person infected actually ill , but who knows. You can take reasonable precautions, and still LIVE. You can also be killed crossing a busy street ! Enjoy the TURKEY so he/she didn't die in vain.. ! Oh, watch for the bullies to correct you, the survival rate for seniors is around 98.7 or near that. The unhappy bullies will jump on that one !
