NJ resident who owns a home here, coming here now

[Chatbrat]

I know of a NJ resident, who owns a home here. He is coming here shortly to do some maintenance on a rental property-Hope his neighbors make sure he is self quarantined for 14 days upon arrival, if he gets here

Should the sheriff be notified?

[TimeForChange]

Where is the home?

[Chatbrat]

Hialeah Villas

Notify the sheriff of what exactly? That an owner is doing work on another home he owns? I understand your concern. Just distance yourself.

[Number 10 GI]

Hmmmmm…….

A strong tree limb and a stout rope will correct the problem. Ye Haw!

[JoMar]

I would insure that all the neighbors know....he can do his work but don't think I would have any contact within a 12 foot radius (double safe). Irresponsibility survives.

[New Englander]

I wonder if he will go to hardware stores and grocery stores?

[Chatbrat]

The house is a rental property--no food, and he has to go to HD for material

[RobertWR]

My wife and I left The Villages for our home in Ohio on February 23rd. Planning to return 2 to 3 weeks later, obviously that did not happen. We are still here and would not travel during this time for all the obvious reasons.

If this is ever going to end people need to respect the policies we are being requested to follow.

Should the sheriff be notified when grandkids come? How about if a brother, sister, son, daughter, mother or father visits? How about Fed Ex or UPS? Should the sheriff be notified that a Villager went somewhere outside to be with family or friends and then came back here?

[Tom53]

He still has to eat while he's here...

NJ and New York should NOT be allowed to come here to Florida. In fact they should just stay put. The Governor has already issued an order for them to be quarantined for fourteen days.

I agree with you Chatbrat.

No one knows what it's like to be dead until they're dead. This is no baby game.

Looks like all of you have forgotten about our Governor's orders, also, with luck the Del. state police might stop him and or the Fl State police might make him see the light--there are road blocks along I-95

Seems as if you really are in a dither over this. Calm down and just stay distanced from him.

[graciegirl]

The Governer says he is quaranteened for fourteen days.

He isn't the only person who is not liking to hear that we have people coming here from the "hot spot".

[crc19188]

Come on people now smile on your brother everybody get together try and love one and other right now right now right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who prey tell is enforcing the 14 day quarantine? I don't love him bringing the potential of sickness here but there is nothing we can do about it. Just chill and self distance.

[Chatbrat]

I know I'm right if Gracie is agreeing with me, you go girl & the kicker is--the Jersey boy is a relative of the Admiral-tried to tell him to stay put-didn't want to hear it-so if you live in Hialeah Villas , lookout for a Honda Pilot with with Jersey plates

Okay so now you’ve warned everyone of his stats. Please try to relax and just stay away from him.

[Chatbrat]

I will keep a wide berth, but if you're in Walmart or Publix, which are relatively close to his property--you better hope he stays away from you--

[DianeM]

I don’t do Walmart but thanks for the advice. Now before you make yourself sick, please try to calm down. You’ve done what you can do.

[njbchbum]

Is the man staying for an extended period of time! Might he have brought food, TP, paper towels and repair supplies with him? So much fear mongering is not necessary if the posts re Villagers violating the Gov’s order are to be believed! Who is reporting them to the Sheriff?

You started the thread with this, then later admit it is an in-law of yours?

Something does not pass the smell test.

[kcrazorbackfan]

Just post a large note on his door about self quarantining himself, if he does make it down here.

If you see something, say something.

[Marathon Man]

So, are you going to call?

[golfing eagles]

Am I the only one who gets the idea that the OP is trying to get someone to call the sheriff, because he can't? Each post has a little more information, a little more warning.

Call the sheriff and say WHAT?????
A person from a hot spot in NJ who owns and rents a home in TV, may or may not be coming down here, he may or may not be carrying the virus, he may or may not self-quarantine when and if he gets here??

If concerned, just make sure your phone camera is working. I would avoid him, lest he gets too close to you. Stay safe, CB

[Marathon Man]

You started the thread with this, then later admit it is an in-law of yours?

And the "someone else do this because I would be murdered if I do" test.

[Villageswimmer]

Here’s a thought: perhaps you and neighbors welcome him upon arrival (keeping distance, of course) and tell him that since he’s quarantined for 14 days, you’d be happy to run shopping errands, etc., for him. It would be a kind gesture and would put him on alert wrt the quarantine.

[CWGUY]

So, are you going to call?

:ho: No. He just made the snowball..... he wants someone else to throw it. :icon_wink:

Its a nice gesture you posted:
.... But,
The OP that started this thread is family with the coming obstacle, he's turning him in here in public so I'm sure he's not happy with him and probably will not go shopping for him.... :shrug:

[mamamia54]

Just because he is coming from New Jersey doesn’t mean he has covid. New York and New Jersey are big places. Some counties in both states don’t even have anyone cases. I hope he doesn’t get it here in the Villages!

[Decadeofdave]

Send him directions to the polo fields!!

Didn't The Gov say that all furriners need to self-quarantine for 14 days after they cross the FL border? If not he's breaking the law and should have a large NJ sewn on each cheek and on his face too.

[Jayhawk]

Op said relative, if he is an in-law he’s got to over 90.

I don't know, my brothers-in-law are about my age. How about yours?

If it's a relative of his wife (it is), that makes it his in-law. Brother, cousin, anything.

[njbchbum]

Looks like all of you have forgotten about our Governor's orders, also, with luck the Del. state police might stop him and or the Fl State police might make him see the light--there are road blocks along I-95

100 plus planes day coming into Orlando, ( google flight tracker tells where planes doing from and going) who knows where they’re headed. If even 1 on the plane has the virus they high change of infecting people on plane, people in the airport, and where ever they go. Basically starting virus spread all over. Yes I would wear mask better yet only go out if you absolutely have to. I don’t see end to this in the near future?

Why would I want put myself at risk cause he wants to work on his house to get it ready to rent? Not priority IMO right now.

How do you know? Besides if you are self quarentining, it shouldn't impact you.

[Chris555]

I hope all of you snowbirds remember this conversation in May when you want to go north. Florida will be the hot spot and New Jersey/ New York will be on the back side of the curve and they will want you to quarantine yourself for 14 days or stay in FL.

[Tsego58]

Sounds like a good reason to get out of the hot spot. As you can read here this is acceptable by some who justify breaking the rules for selfish reasons. I bet if this person's home that needs maintenance was in a hot spot he say let it rot to the ground. Traveling restrictions do not give anyone a pass to do maintenance on a home that you own remotely. I have rentals in 4 states to include tv and south florida. If the home is occupied and in disrepair he needs to contact a local repair person.

[Girlcopper]

The sheriff and deputies will not respond to a call of, “ my neighbor came from NjJ......”. Mind your business, stay home.

[ficoguy]

The unclean and the unwashed fleeing for safety could contaminate thousands. Beware of Lakewood NJ and Teaneck NJ residents where there are clusters of outbreak

[Leadbone1]

Call the sheriff? I’m amazed at how people are losing their minds over this. If this guy comes here from New Jersey he can choose to self Quarantine or he may not. It’s his business. Anyone that is leary of him should just stay away from him. You can control what you do not what others do.

[Topspinmo]

How do you know? Besides if you are self quarentining, it shouldn't impact you.


Wrong, he HAS to go some where. How the ___ do you think he got here.

[Chatbrat]

He's the Admiral's nephew- mid 50's, comes from a town right next to Teaneck

[Kerry Azz]

Really who cares where he’s coming from take the necessary steps to stay safe. Try stressing less about other people that you have no control over relax and enjoy your life. And hopefully you will survive this pandemic.

[Lyn Wagner]

I heard 5 states will not let you in if you have out of state plates. Don’t know what states are doing that? They should all do it temporarily for now.

[JanetMM]

Remember the old Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street"? This thread is beginning to resemble it.

Been thinking the same thing. It’s been very easy to get people to turn on each other. So was that episode of twilight zone “entertainment” or was it a prediction of our behavior? 🤔

[dougjb]

Let he who is without sin....cast the first stone.

For those who want to report a car with NY/NJ tags or otherwise point to them to say infected person, I would ask the person who wishes to report that incident if they themselves have been absolutely religious in their adherance to social distancing. That includes talking with a neighbor without a face mask, driving a cart without a face mask, shopping for groceries without wearing a face mask and never coming closer then 6 feet to another shopper or cashier, failing to wash their hands whenever they touch anything, failing to sanitize their phone and remote control regularly.

Let's stop pointing the finger at each other and do our part by listening to Dr Fauci. As for the rest of the politicians, they have their own cross to bear in being behind the curve.

[jmpalladino]

I agree with you Chatbrat.

No one knows what it's like to be dead until they're dead. This is no baby game.

Please remember what you both have said when it time for you to travel outside of FL. Let us know when and where you will be traveling and I will be sure to call the sheriff at that local to "lock you up". I did not know we had become a China, with neighbors spying on us all. Just stay away from people and you will be just fine.

[theruizs]

Should the sheriff be notified when grandkids come? How about if a brother, sister, son, daughter, mother or father visits? How about Fed Ex or UPS? Should the sheriff be notified that a Villager went somewhere outside to be with family or friends and then came back here?

This is a little different because he’s from a state our Gov. has restricted travel from. Anyone coming here from NJ, NY, or Con. is supposed to self quarantine for 14 days. So if the person gets here and immediately starts coming and going, then yes, I would say it is ok to call the sheriff and have him checked out.

If they travel to a state where they have been ordered not to, or to quarantine and they don’t, then yes you should call the authorities. How are we ever going to get this to end with attitudes like yours?

[lclear]

Why can't he do this maintenance at a later time when this virus isn't so infectious? Nobody is renting in The Villages now anyway. Its not like he's going to be able to rent it out until later.

Are you serious? I think law enforcement has much more to do than listen to your call about a neighbor. Take care of yourself and stay home like youre supposed to.

[graciegirl]

This is something that has never happened before. It is much, much, more dangerous to people who are over 65 which is MOST of us here in The Villages. It is important to stay away from others, stay home, as you said. I don't think Chatbrat should call the sheriff. BUT the Governor did issue a warning to anyone traveling from New York and New Jersey where many, many, many people have contracted the disease. They showed pictures on television of people arriving from those places being met by officials telling them to self quarantine. I have dear friends who are from New Jersey and New York but now is not the time to leave. No one knows who has the bug and who doesn't. I don't think Chatbrat should have ratted where he lives and what he drives, but I would sear the ears of that young man if he were my nephew. Chatbrat's wife has a mouth. This is not a time to travel. He is far from the only one. We need to redouble our own efforts to do what we can to not catch it or give it to others. Please don't jump on me. I am peddling as fast as I can.

[merrymini]

Superstition and stupidity.

[vintageogauge]

This is what concerns me more than anything, people coming in from hot spots that might be carrying the virus unknowingly.

[Chatbrat]

Did sear his ears, but he's still coming

[Two Bills]

He's the Admiral's nephew- mid 50's, comes from a town right next to Teaneck

Cut him out of your will! :icon_wink:

[Chatbrat]

No relatives are in our wills--everything goes to military charities-homes for our heroes, navy relief, salvation army & a few more

[ladybugsmom]

Are you serious? Someone is going to go to their own home and you think the sheriff should waste his time telling them to quarantine? Just stay away from them. We are all pretty much quarantined. Order your groceries to be delivered and just don’t leave your home if you’re that worried. You can’t dictate another home owner, unless he comes over and spits on your face.

Almost all of us are "THAT WORRIED". We all react differently. If we aren't "that worried" we should think about it a little more. Some people get angry. Some people get depressed. Many try to find someone or something to blame. I think I understand what you are saying, ladybugsmom. We can't change anyone else.

It's right near Rt 466 and the Villages High School

[RonaldJ]

I would think that anyone coming into the Villages including family and those that leave and come back should have to self-quarantine for 14 days and that includes no golf or going to grocery store or hardware or anywhere else for the protection of the rest of us and the governors rules!

I've done all the things you listed and I have a legitimate concern for someone coming from a Corona virus hot spot. Most of us here are on the "endangered" list. I would hate to see an outbreak here. This could go on for a long time.

[tomhinz]

ABSOLUTELY should NOT come here. STAY where you are at right now until things settle down. If you do not, you are just showing how much you do not care about others.

Absolutely not. How about all the people who just got off sick cruise ships and are supposed to go home and self quarantine. Thousands of people. And you are going to worry about 1? How many do you think already arrived that you dont even know about? Leave the cops to do real work

[Kwenner]

yes this owner is potentially putting the rest of us at risk....he's selfish and has nothing else to do

great advice to double distance from him

that said, what goes around, comes around

There is no way I would get on a plane or train or bus during this time. I would wait a couple of months to do any maintenance on my rental property. He could get infected on the plane and then spend a couple of weeks spreading the virus, and then those people will spend a couple of weeks spreading it, and so on... I just can't believe the stupidity of some people.

Of course he will! And in so doing so may spread the Jersey version of covet 19 to The Villages!
