If you;re worried about it, don;t go !! Most everyone is capable of reading and making their own decisions . No need for more hall monitors.

People can make their own decisions... and there is no way I would go to this. But... the person who goes to this... who coughs into their hand and then touches a vase. And the next person who picks up that vase. And that person scratches his eye or nose.
Every interaction is an opportunity to spread the virus. This virus is so easily spread. You can be defiant You can make your own decisions. Just like those young adults going to the beaches.

It is very sad that people flying/traveling into FL are allowed to arrive daily without mandatory quarantine of 14 days. Especially given how many people from NY/NJ and very hard hit areas that are trying to escape (and who blames them?) either own or rent here. I think a mandatory quarantine of anyone coming (especially FLYING) from one of these concentration centers should be MANDATORLY quarantined for the 14 day time frame to eliminate the potential for further spread.

I quess these people will realize there is nothing to do here and since we can't stop it the governor would have to lock down the state. I think it's totally irresponsible of these people to travel and spread this virus.

Unfortunately, since no one "grew a pair" in time, too little too late might be the reality

To think about it.I don't see any difference to going and standing in line for senior hours for shopping.Folks standing out front like cattle.

I believe the governor has a policy of self quarantine in place for those travels - but don’t know how well it’s enforced.

I don't see any difference between people travelling from Wuhan China spreading the virus, and traveling from hot spots like NYC. Yesterday there were many JFK flights cancelled yet several departed on time for Orlando. It's still a mystery to me why

I hope they keep this in mind-
Fifty-five people have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus in the tri-county area, with Lake and Sumter counties clearly leading the way.
Sumter County now has 24 residents suffering from the Coronavirus

I could use a lift anyone have room. Looking for a used Pickleball Paddle with plenty of notches on the handle.
Thanks in advance.

Keep the cart behind you........a little more control of distance.

Food, we need, estate stuff, not so much.
I am thinking of inventing a new garment with a hula hoop around it so no one can actually invade your space....

Make sure it has a collapsible option keeping in mind going through the checkout lane.
Plus getting in and out of tight spaces, example car, golf cart, doorways etc.
Think ahead...… and most of all get a patent attorney. Your on to a sure winner.
I sure wish I would have thought of it first.... Good Luck....
PS: I hope my ideas ( Suggestions ) help you. Consider them all a favor. :popcorn:

Any wonder the US has passed Italy for the most confirmed cases?

None at all, since we have a much greater population

If only that was true.....unfortunately that’s not the case I just this story of a guy who thought he had the virus but thought no not me and carried on for 2 weeks with symptoms going to work, to the doctors and to the stores and yes he is positive for the virus...so no you can’t trust people to do what is best for anyone even theirselves nor their family

Nobody is forcing residents to go to their garage sale. Life must go on. People die,move and sell houses all the time. Just live YOUR life as you see fit.

Except that is a person goes to this and gets infected, they run the risk of infecting many more people. Let's say that a person goes and touches something that has the virus on it and contracts the virus. On their way home they decide that they need something in Publix. They go to Publix and touch a mayonnaise jar but doesn't buy it. The person that buys that jar is possibly infected as well as the cashier.
Now the person that buys it pays cash and the money has the virus on it.
I hardly ever use cash anyway, but now I never use it.
