Please let us know where your neighborhood's closest rec center and pool are. We can invite that 1000 people there, and they can stay away from everywhere else. Y'know, since it's just 1%, and keeping them out is an insane waste of time and money.

But those 1,000 people don’t travel in a herd any more than the 100,000 do. Yeah, 1% of 100,000 is a big number but 1% of the 30 people in your pool today is a little less than 1/3 of a person. So let’s say one person every three days or 100 people total I’m the course of the entire year.
Are you ready for you amenity fee to go up $16 this year rather than $6 to keep that 1/3 of a person out of the pool tomorrow? Some will say yes while others will say even $6 is too much.
