We are both over seventy, over weight and along with her 95 year old mother have been eating out 5-7 meals a week in restaurants since restaurants reopened at 25% occupancy. We never wear what a subsequent poster describes as face diapers in restaurants. We do social distance as much as we can.
As of yesterday, 2,821 villagers have been identified as COVID positive or only approximately 2% of The Villages residents. The survival rate if you do get COVID is approximately 98%. That equates to a 0.04% of dying from COVID. We like the odds!
Take the precautions you feel are appropriate for your situation, but we refuse to accept the concept of a "new normal" and don't feel obligated to accommodate the paranoia of others at the expense of a "normal" lifestyle.

So far I lost 3 family members to Covid. Ages 66, 73, 80.
The % game did not help them.
Please be careful everyone.
