We all face death - everyday - and must guard against many things (yes, we encounter many diseases, accidents, crime- a bunch of threats every day - COVID is just one of many things) - but that doesn’t mean our lives are over and we mustremain locked up in seclusion! Once we get to the point that our only option is to stay confined in the home with no face-to-face human contact - what is the purpose of our existence? Thank you for the wonderful events!!! Thank you!!! And for those who do not feel comfortable - stay home and know *** you can always reach out to those who are not afraid - to be there for you - if you need assistance with anything. ***

Exactly, you moved here from a state with a lockdown. Obviously, where you lived, must have had a major breakout of the virus which mandated a reason for that lockdown. We could be in the same position here in the flash of a moment if people become irresponsible in making an effort to avoid the spread. We would not need lockdowns if people followed a few simple steps. One, no large gatherings. Right now, we have people coming from all over the US, to their winter homes, rentals or a vacation. The risk level is going up each day along with the number of people getting sick here in TV. Unfortunately, geographically, we live in an area that does not have but two hospitals which are barely equipped to handle a normal aging population, let alone a pandemic. I am so tired of people saying stay home or I am healthy so I do not need to worry. Cancer is a silent killer. Heart issues sometimes kill without knowledge and people could be spreading the virus and not even know they have it. I hope we never have to experience what you did, but, if we continue to allow large crowds for events like this, that day may be repeated for you. You say you will be there for us....what you can do for us is be responsible and do not spread the virus in our community. People don’t have to stay home, but in the last month, we see so many people arriving here to escape the virus, and because our numbers are low, they act like there is no virus!! Stay safe, the virus is here. We just don’t have the testing here to support the real numbers.
