Social distancing sample...TV gets an 'F'

[billethkid]

At least at Red Sauce restaurant at 6:15 pm this evening. At least 100 people waiting in line for pick up.....masks were the exception at less than 10% of total.
Social distancing? Non existent....except for those few with masks.

ALL others were belt buckle to back pocket, shoulder to shoulder.

It is that complete disregard for the guidelines that will cause the return to businesses opening to be a failure.

Very disappointing.

Shame on Red Sauce lack of management!

Pretty much the same at Glenview tonight

[golfing eagles]

Pretty much the same at Glenview tonight

I think people are getting the (false) sense that this is about over and life is returning to normal quickly. Hopefully they don't pay for their mistake with their lives.

[Marvic 1]

They don't give a hoot, all they want is your money.......
Wait until costumers are allowed into restaurants again. After management checks your forehead temperature for fever, you might be able to go in with a 101 degree fever because of the green paper in your pocket...

[bob47]

We were at Glenview tonight and it was a disorganized mess. Same owners as Red Sauce. You would think experienced restaurant managers would have this figured out.

[BobnBev]

Pretty much the same at Glenview tonight

Glenview was a total disaster. Was told my food would be ready at 4:30, at 5:45 I asked about it, they went into the kitchen and came out with it. The order was shorted by half. Got home, the steak was cold, the potatoes not fully cooked and the veggies were super bland. The pork chop was fair, but cold. They told people ordering at that time there would be an hour and a half wait. It was complete chaos. I think the staff were totally overwhelmed.:ohdear:

[Nucky]

We did a Pick Up from Texas Road House. On time, organized and they got Stimulated because they are the kind of operation that deserves it. Download their App and all you have to do is take a picture of the BarCode on the receipt and the tip can be added on your own cell phone. No Touch and no Contact. Order put in a container in our trunk.

I was so disappointed about Jersey Mikes with the no mask thread but am very grateful for the post from the OP. I got weak for a hot minute and considered going there because of the relentless commercials all week from their owner. Shame on them for not wearing a mask while preparing food that isn't cooked especially during a time like this. You saved us.

A month or so ago I wouldn't have considered any take out. Now I'm gonna risk it once or twice a week. Only places that cook the food No sangwiches or even just a Pizza. I miss the BONEFISH the most. This won't be forever unless we do the wrong thing as mentioned in the post's above. Imagine, it could be the BIG FOREVER. Wake Up Buttercups!

[thelegges]

So basically in 2 to 3 weeks if there is no increase in Covid numbers, Glenview and City Fires test of no need for social distancing worked.

[DeanFL]

OMG - are folks here THAT DUMB or IDIOTIC? The majority+ of TV people are in the RISK group, many in HIGH RISK of the infection. So, if these accounts are correct COVID will continue to spread here or worse. It only takes a few that can infect 6X....x 6X.... This news is disgusting to me. I mean, with all the latest information out there and news...what the hell will it take for some folks to use common sense. I must say, if I personally saw that irresponsible display by so many I would find it difficult to hold my anger.

We try to follow all the guidelines. Mask in stores. Absolute social distancing. Wash hands. Conscientious disinfecting and cleaning. No one in our house other than us. Careful of packages and mail. Cook 95% of our meals to minimize risks.

And all it would take is one idiot to cough or sneeze on something, and.... grrrrr.

Glenview, LOL IMO rated right up there with BK.

[tophcfa]

Dam, we ventured out of our Log Cabin up north tonight for some much deserved takeout. Granted, it was about a 40 mile round trip for dinner, but it was worth it (what the He!!. gas is cheap). We placed our order before we left the house, we were asked our name, what the make, model and color of our car was, and what time we expected to pick up our order. We pre-paid, including tip, on our credit card and began our journey. After getting some gas and dropping off our bills at the post office, we pulled into the Q in the parking lot. When we got to the front of the line (about a 5 minute wait) a very friendly women wearing a mask brought out our food, we popped the trunk open and she put in our food and waived goodby to us as we drove away. The food was delicious. I wish this could be the new normal, too good. However, the resturants can't make a living this way long term, so things will eventually have to get back to whatever the new normal will eventually look like?

At least a hundred people? Now, that's worth a photo post.

[anothersteve]

At least a hundred people? Now, that's worth a photo post.

My thoughts also. That's a lot of people!.....if true

[skyking]

We have ordered take out from seven country clubs. No line. No wait. No issues.

[JudyLife]

First of all don’t blame the restaurant or country club people and accept responsibility yourselves! You all know the SD rules so be big boys & girls & organise yourselves that way when lining up!! 6 feet apart. Not rocket science! Y’all might want to cook at home more too, it won’t kill you, but Covid-19 might just do that. Your false sense of security due to the sunshine will come to haunt you if a 2nd wave of this sweeps through so do your utmost to prevent it.

[DAN48]

Does anyone in The Villages know how to cook!
IMHO, almost any home cooked meal beats poor health practices and luke-warm, badly prepared food, along with the frustrations mentioned here.
If you have to go out, use the restaurants mentioned in another post. They seem to be well organized and have good quality food. And, they care about our health!

[sdeikenberry]

We drove by Chili's in Spanish Springs last evening about 5 and there were about ten people waiting outside for orders...not social distancing there either.

Don’t believe you - I haven’t seen a hundred people waiting in line except wackos panicking outside SAMs club in the morning. Only people I have seen ( in my opinion) are outsiders or young heads of mush not wearing masks .

[alfredpopcorn@gmail.com]

Really had a long distance measuring tape with your drive by ? Please give me a break

So why in hell does TV get an F for something that Red Sauce does?

You people that are haters of The Village are truly pathetic; I-75 does go north and south if TV isn’t for you anymore. 😡

[riley2011]

It’s not the restaurants fault. Adults need to take responsibility for their actions.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

I was pretty annoyed with Winn Dixie yesterday. They have no one sanitizing the carts, no one counting the customers despite a sign proclaiming a 150-customer limit for the store, no wipes for customers to wipe the carts down themselves. No one-way aisles, and the customers weren't respecting the 6-foot circles stuck to the floor at the cash registers.

But DAMN they have good carrot cake.

[curioushomeowner]

I really do not understand. Are people not watching the statistics of number infected and the number who have died? There is so much we don't know about this virus. But one thing we do know we are not immune as a community!

[bmit16]

For those of you that still believe everything should be closed and people need to stay home, take the time to google Dr Ericksons covid 19 briefing on uoutube. It is a little long, but you are sitting at home doing nothing anywau. This is a scientific and common sense briefing about how our immunities work. This is the 1st time in history , that well people have been quarantined. He makes some really great points.

[Leadbone1]

Sounds to me like you just need to stay home. That’s what you have the right to do. You don’t have the right to tell other people how they must act. This may come as a shock to you, but there’s a whole bunch of us that realize this whole thing has been overdone and overhyped. we’re ready to get back to living our lives as usual.

[Rosebud1949]

Nobody here heard of COOKING. it can be simple, . its safer to go to the supermarket with your mask and gloves on once every 2 weeks than stand in line with those who DO NOT CARE about anyone's safety. How many hands do you think that food has been thru.

[Rosebud1949]

and hopefully WE DONT PAY WITH OURS. Sad that some who followed the rules will suffer, because of those who do not give a dam.. but thats the Villages.......

We drove by at 5:30 we observed the same. My regret I didn’t take a photo to post here. That side of LSL with City Fire was jammed with people. We also noticed that people were sitting at the picnic tables over looking Lake Sumter near WVLG ( roped off with yellow caution tape). Yup they pushed the caution tape out of the way. :ohdear:

Oh yea on the drive back home Arnold Palmer’s patio was jammed no social distancing there either.

[geobar]

Very disappointing to read this about people disrespect have for one another. Our lives have and will continue to be changed.

Shame on the Partons as well as "Red Sauce's" lack of management for not enforcing the guidelines.

We will definitely not go to "Red Sauce: for taking out food.

Places should let you drive up, not walk up for everyone's safety.

It will still be months of guidance from our "Government" if not forever as no one really knows the outcome of this awakening "Pandemic".

[Leadbone1]

I really do not understand. Are people not watching the statistics of number infected and the number who have died? There is so much we don't know about this virus. But one thing we do know we are not immune as a community!

Do you not realize that with all the information we have now that this whole thing has been over done and overhyped. you cannot stay home forever, or wear gloves and a mask everywhere forever? I’ll take my chances with this just as I do with every other virus or disease that’s out there every day!
Those of you that choose to cower in your houses and buy into all the paranoia have that right. What you don’t have the right to do is tell other people how they should live!

Wow, I’m glad to hear there are a lot of other people that are not buying into all the doom and gloom of this virus that has been totally overhyped. Sounds like my kind of people. I’m heading to RedSauce tonight!

[rrlavigne]

People have a right to live their lives as they see fit as long as they don't break the law and they don't hurt others. This is the USA. However this pandemic has already killed almost as many people as were killed during the entire Vietnam war (and in a few days it will have killed MORE than during the war) and the first wave isn't even over yet. And if people don't follow the guidelines a second wave is guaranteed. There's a big difference between freedom and irresponsibility. If we were only impacting ourselves, our own lives, I'd say, go for it, do your thing and if you die it's on you. But the reckless actions of some is impacting us all. And although the media tends to dramatize information the FACT is, this virus is a killer. Look at the number of deaths, and we're not even done the "first wave." Is social distancing and mask wearing in public too much to ask?? Fact is this virus is spread from person to person. We won't have NORMAL until there's a vaccine, but if we follow the CDC guidelines maybe we can at least get back to work until normal is attainable.

[B-flat]

I’m happy for you, knock yourself out. :popcorn:

Same as voting for a political candidate, if you dont like them dont vote for them. If restaurant was terrible, as you described, the best thing you can do is not do business with them. They should get it, hopefully.

[ts12755]

50% of those that died in Europe were old and sick living in nursing homes. 50% of those dying in New York City are old and sick. If that's you stay home. Let healthy and young people get thier lives back.

Interesting fact. USA, with a strict lockdown policy vs Sweden, who kept open

USA 6.56 deaths per million

Sweden 3.96 deaths per million

I bring my own alcohol wipes everywhere I go. I wipe down my own cart and whatever else I am about to touch. I also wipe my hands with alcohol when I leave a store.

[davem4616]

I'm not a very smart man, but mamma always said "Stupid is what stupid does"

# 1 reason we aren't doing take out is that we know how to cook and we like to cook
#2 figured that what is happening would eventually happen ...just like the crooked politicians say the public has a very short memory

[stargirl]

Or you could just stay home and eat and not put all the workers at risk making your food, I’m pretty sure you all have kitchens. Besides you are seriously blaming management for people not standing 6 feet apart?

can't take it huh?
this isn't going to last forever
just don't put the rest of us at risk with your self righteous behavior and narrow vision
BTW - hope you've picked out the funeral home that you're going to use...

[Skunky1]

A video is worth 1000 words!

[Lindamct]

Only 12 people have passed away in our county. Let's pray that our country can open up again for our kids and grandchildren. We have a .006% chance of getting this virus. Be kind and smile today.

[merrymini]

Restaurants are trying to stay alive and many do not have this take out thing down. They serve mostly in house and are probably doing the best they can. That being said, I am not interested in waiting in line with a hundred people to get my food. Cook at home. People on line are responsible for their own behavior. Life will certainly have to get back to normal. If you are that afraid, you will have to stay home but you cannot tell other people that they cannot leave their homes and live normally. We have lost enough of our freedoms. Just a reminder, the numbers in the Villages are pretty low and this virus does NOT have a 100% mortality rate.

[Lindamct]

Please support our restaurants. Pray we continue to have 0 deaths be thankful we only had 2 new cases yesterday and 1 the day before. Although this is very good news, be careful of those that would print headlines that say "Sumter county had a 50% increase in the number of cases"

Well said.

People do not seem to understand that the masks are primarily to protect others from you in case you are an non or pre symptomatic carrier. Your decision to not wear a mask doesn’t put you at risk as much as it threatens the lives of everyone around you.

[Bill1701]

There are a number of posts on different sites about people not wearing masks, standing too close, not obeying the 10 person limit, etc. My question to all you complainers is that you know this is how it will be so why do you go out? Is it just to complain and feel self-righteous? You can have have everything delivered and never have to leave your house except for doctor visits.

[Bgsu4me]

Absolutely agree!!!

What do you expect for takeout food but you still paid for it. Just get ready and wait for what's coming.
Currently slaughter houses are closing down although temporary due to COVID19, farmers are euthanizing hogs beef chicken you might be paying market prices soon.
And higher prices at grocery store prepare for the rush. We have been waiting 5 weeks for spartan amounts of toilet paper, clorox and handsanitiser.

[graciegirl]

Am I the only one who wonders if the persons who are cooking and packaging the food people pick up or have delivered are not shedding Covid-19? It is a fact that many people do not have symptoms.

Now that guy is going to call me paranoid again. I don't know if I am up to it today...……..:popcorn:

No you're not the only one, but I don't like takeout anyway, food gets cold and then you dry it out reheating. Plus you pay restaurant prices without restaurant ambience, presentation...just a styrofoam container.

I don't think you get covid 19 by eating it, stomach enzymes kill it. Inhaling it is a different story.

[PennBF]

Try Bob Evans on Paar drive. They are good, on time and reasonable:bigbow:

Here’s your Red Sauce pic....

[roob1]

So, are you saying it has been over-hyped all over the world? We are certainly not the only country affected, and we are being told to take precautions similar to others around the globe.


Wow, I’m glad to hear there are a lot of other people that are not buying into all the doom and gloom of this virus that has been totally overhyped. Sounds like my kind of people. I’m heading to RedSauce tonight!

[PennBF]

The true idiots are the ones who refuse to wear a mask and believe they are "tough" and don't need them. They just don't understand the mask is to protect the other guy and not there to protect the "tough guy"!! You can't fix stupid!!!:ho:

[cheweycat]

That shows that all these businesses must have a plan to comply with social distancing before they open up. I Also think that they should be clear, No mask no food. Lines should have some spacing cues like 5 feet spaces painted on the pavements.

[leiban20]

yes you are correct i believe human kind should be more intelligent to see the danger and take care of them self and others
the opening is not going to work is my opinion the problem is not the virus is us THE PEOPLE

In addition to what GoodLife said, transferring to another container, reheating and/or microwaving further mitigates the risk.

[Altavia]

Standing outside in a breeze is a different dynamic than inside.

I try to imagine people are smoking and try to stand where I would not be in the smoke.

[Dfaye]

I too was at Red Sauce. Total disaster. I left with no food. Not worth the risk. Went to Paisanos where it was well organized and social distancing was practiced.

[Roxbob]

We drove by at the same time there were a lot of people but certainly not 100!! But the rest is true hardly any without masks and standing on top of each other waiting

[Don Ferguson]

What nobody has mentioned is that Red Sauce and Glenview (same owners) had BOGO special the last two days. What the heck did you expect the response would be. Shame on you for not anticipating the huge lines!

Well, I feel like driving to “county line barbecue” but closest one in Austin Tx.

[Ipecoraro]

I was there the day before and it was the same. Many people no mask and within 6 ft. Red Sauce do something about this!!!!

[Rosie1950]

Thing one BIGGEST offensive comment to me on this whole thread is ONLY 12 have died in the area. Could you be any less caring or more hurtful to the families that lost someone with such a comment.
We lost our Uncle who was 102. He died in March we got many condolences and not 1said thankfully “he’s the only 1”.
The most heartbreaking was he died alone AND without the benefit of LAST RITES.
Poster needs to rethink the use of ONLY when it comes to human lives. Very me myself and I.

[rrb48310]

We have ordered take out from seven country clubs. No line. No wait. No issues.

Safer at places that are not offering BOGO BuyOneGetOne

[thelegges]

Sorry I can’t believe that intelligent people think the restaurant is the SD police.

They all have line to stand in, apparently customers choose not to adhere to them. If you were crowded with multitude of people and did not keep SD, then you are at fault. Not the establishment.

You had two choices, wait a safe distance away from the masses, or leave because you felt unsafe.

So if no increase in Covid numbers in the nest 3 weeks, then this was only the first test, more to come

[Stevenf20]

Ordered via phone. Gave pickup time. Arrived in golf and their service was on time and great

[aa1949a]

At least at Red Sauce restaurant at 6:15 pm this evening. At least 100 people waiting in line for pick up.....masks were the exception at less than 10% of total.
Social distancing? Non existent....except for those few with masks.

ALL others were belt buckle to back pocket, shoulder to shoulder.

It is that complete disregard for the guidelines that will cause the return to businesses opening to be a failure.

Very disappointing.

Shame on Red Sauce lack of management!
Welcome to the Villages. Can't fix stupid!!!!

Along with "stupid"you might want to add "arrogant, insensitive, uncaring, narcissistic, self-centered" and a host of other descriptive terms. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, but I do it show others that I respect their lives as much as my own. And, remember, PennBF, not wearing a mask is their way of saying " I care about no one but myself and the rest of you can go to H---". Pity them. If you are a person of faith, pray for them.

We ordered from BONEFISH GRILL a few weeks ago (to be delivered) and they were great. The young girl who delivered it and set it down at our front door even earlier than the time frame they gave us. Bang Bang and Cod Fish & Chips. Still warm and savory; spicy for the BB which is how I like it.😋👍🏼

[fdpaq0580]

Thing one BIGGEST offensive comment to me on this whole thread is ONLY 12 have died in the area. Could you be any less caring or more hurtful to the families that lost someone with such a comment.
We lost our Uncle who was 102. He died in March we got many condolences and not 1said thankfully “he’s the only 1”.
The most heartbreaking was he died alone AND without the benefit of LAST RITES.
Poster needs to rethink the use of ONLY when it comes to human lives. Very me myself and I.

Our condolences on the loss of your uncle.
Our best wishes for you and your family in these trying times.

Is it a coincidence that Glenview and Red Sauce has BOGO (buy one get one) yesterday?? After all, this is The Villages!!

[Villages Kahuna]

The people ignoring the social separation better hope they don’t get infected with a serious case requiring hospitalization. The crowds you all observed are mostly seniors I suppose.

The statistics regarding seniors who get a serious case of COVID-19 are compelling. If their case is serious enough to require hospitalization and the use of a ventilator, the statistics from a recent large study are as follows:

— Patients who require a ventilator are typically on the machine for 16 days.

— Only 36% of the patients who have had ventilator treatment are discharged from the hospital, 64% die, most while still on the ventilator.

— If the senior patient has some pre-existing condition such as diabetes, obesity, heart problems or respiratory problems, 49 of the 64 remaining on the ventilator will die.

— If the senior patient has had or is being treated for cancer and remains on the ventilator, the survival rate is zero!

So, to all those people who believe the politicians who are saying that the cure is worse than the disease — go ahead and get belly-to-belly. Slow dance when the music on the squares begins again. Shake hands and don’t wear a mask....and get your affairs in order.

[Don Ferguson]

Does not justify non adherence to safety guidelines (even less than 100).:icon_wink:

Ah Dear Kid Bille: I was NOT justifying anything. Simply pointing out that (1) when there are full page ads in the Daily Sun advertising BOGO meals at both Red Sauce and Glenview, you have to be a little slow to NOT realize that the lines will be horrendous. And, (2) When you have horrendous lines of people you once again have to be a little slow to NOT know that a large percentage of the folks will not be complying with safety guidelines.

[Number 10 GI]

At least at Red Sauce restaurant at 6:15 pm this evening. At least 100 people waiting in line for pick up.....masks were the exception at less than 10% of total.
Social distancing? Non existent....except for those few with masks.

ALL others were belt buckle to back pocket, shoulder to shoulder.

It is that complete disregard for the guidelines that will cause the return to businesses opening to be a failure.

Very disappointing.

Shame on Red Sauce lack of management!

How is this a lack of management? What do you think the manager could do? The manager has no law enforcement power to force people maintain social distance, besides there is no law on social distance only a guideline. I can tell you what would happen if the manager tried to break up the crowds, he would be ignored or cursed at and possibly even assaulted. You saw it why didn't you break up the crowd???

[kansasr]

Am I the only one who wonders if the persons who are cooking and packaging the food people pick up or have delivered are not shedding Covid-19? It is a fact that many people do not have symptoms.

Now that guy is going to call me paranoid again. I don't know if I am up to it today...……..:popcorn:

I don't think it's paranoid when on April 17 Sumter county had 120 cases and today the total is 171.

[ffresh]

Do you not realize that with all the information we have now that this whole thing has been over done and overhyped. you cannot stay home forever, or wear gloves and a mask everywhere forever? I’ll take my chances with this just as I do with every other virus or disease that’s out there every day!
Those of you that choose to cower in your houses and buy into all the paranoia have that right. What you don’t have the right to do is tell other people how they should live!

[Inexes@aol.com]

Nobody here heard of COOKING. it can be simple, . its safer to go to the supermarket with your mask and gloves on once every 2 weeks than stand in line with those who DO NOT CARE about anyone's safety. How many hands do you think that food has been thru.

I don't know how anyone is managing an every other week trip to the grocery, between the shortages of items available and the limits on the purchase..... doesn't seem possible to me. Shoot, I have a small cat and Walmart allowed 2 - 3oz cans of food with last order. And next delivery available is a week off. Those of us who are unable to go to the stores are having a difficult time managing to get the basics. And I can assure you, we are cooking at home..... with whatever is available to purchase to do so.:ohdear:

[nevjudbaker]

Yep same at Scrooples. Not a hundred people but probably 15-20. Again 10% wore masks.

[thomp679]

50% of those that died in Europe were old and sick living in nursing homes. 50% of those dying in New York City are old and sick. If that's you stay home. Let healthy and young people get thier lives back.

Hmmm...Wouldn't your point then imply that 50% of those that died were healthy and young?

[Joyce952]

I noticed that too while driving by and I agree with you

[wdst1]

I agree with you all the restaurants here in TV are not set up for the volume of take out orders. I am afraid that when restaurants are given the green light a few things might happen. 1) They will not abide by any social distancing rules. 2) People in TV will bitch and moan about the wait time/service. 3) People will not social distance themselves. 4) Virus cases will spike, again. Back to square one.

[Rwirish]

Perhaps they two events are an F but not TV. I have been amazed at the level of social distancing practices in TV compared to other communities. The horror stories my friends tell me co
In four of Ohio are unbelievable.

100% compliance is not going to happen. Clearly TV is much much more deserving then a F.

[fdpaq0580]

Hmmm...Wouldn't your point then imply that 50% of those that died were healthy and young?

Yes, yes it would.
Some see the glass as half full, while others see the glass as half empty. What I see is a half a glass of water. ???
Don't spill it.

[pabotticelli]

Shop at Publix. They wipe down all carts and tape on floor at registers 6 feet apart. One ways aisles while shopping.

[Indydealmaker]

Jersey Mikes on 466a all wearing masks in the kitchen.

[Lizziemay]

The restaurant should be managing the line up . If necessary some children need an X marks the spot so they know what is 6 feet .

[big guy]

My thoughts also. That's a lot of people!.....if true
Steve

I was there. There were a lot of people.......no social distancing, no masks.

Another possibility: enough people will be too fearful of being a victim of a new spike, and refrain from patronizing all these places that re-open, that these places end up closing for good due to lack of revenue.

Imagine Kilwen's re-opening day. Now ask yourself if you want to be one of those people there that day.

If not that day - how about the next day. Surely a week later, everyone who was in a rush will already have come and gone, right? But - everyone who THOUGHT that will be lining up a week later. Do you want to be in THAT line?

So you wait to see if there's a spike. That means you'll need to wait around another month. The last spike in Florida was 4/23, according to Experience (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429).

So on May 23, if there hasn't been a spike since 2 days ago, the coast should be clear. But if there's another spike next week, you have to reset and count a month from then.

I would LOVE to go back to Kilwen's. But I already take a huge risk every single time I go to work. I don't know if I want to add *un-necessary* huge risks. Smaller ones like standing near someone at the postal station while we both get our mail, no problem. Shooting at the archery range, where you can only have 1-2 people every 6 feet because you can't share a target with more than that, not a problem at all. But standing in a crowded line, with no more 6-foot limits, in an enclosed space, where people are ordering, and paying for food, and changing their minds, and pointing out ice cream flavors to the server...cris-crossing and bumping against each other on their way from one end of the counter to the other? Not sure I want to risk death, no matter how much I like their ice cream.

[sallybowron]

For me the saddest part of your story is that these people who are not wearing masks or observing the 6 ft rule are putting us all at risk. Since I took chemo my immune system is down. I have had to stay inside for the past four weeks. If I go out it is to the doctor and I have
cancelled or rearranged most of them. People complain when someone mentions that The Villages has many people who consider themselves "entitled" they say that we have worked hard for all those years, yada yada. This is all true, but it in no way gives us the right to do whatever we want to do. The Bible, the Koran, etc. all refer to loving your neighbor and treating them like you would yourself. Most people down here have some religious belief, even if they are not carrying them out right now. IMHO, we all need to wear masks, not for our own protection but for the protection of others. Put your darn mask on! If you can't find them for sale, Google them and see where you can buy them.

[sdeikenberry]

At least a hundred people? Now, that's worth a photo post.
Here's that photo you wanted of Red Sauce yesterday...it was in the online newspaper.

The picture above shows some attempt at compliance.

Taken from that angle and or time of day in no way represents the "large crowd" at 6:15 PM in front of the doors and into the street and the side patio!

And beyond that, ONE larger than ideal gathering at ONE restaurant on a BOGO day, does not give ALL of TV an "F". Extrapolate much??????? ( Not you, BTK, the OP)

I am the OP and yes that is my error. Emotions got ahead of my brain while typing.
If title boxes were editable, I would have changed it long ago to something like "...too many at Red Sauce deserve an 'F'..." et al.

I am usually quick to comment to those who extrapolate specific instances to a general condition.

[Love2Swim]

So why in hell does TV get an F for something that Red Sauce does?

You people that are haters of The Village are truly pathetic; I-75 does go north and south if TV isn’t for you anymore. ������

???? OP is talking about Villagers waiting in line. Those Villagers at Red Sauce on that day get an F for being stupid enough to not heed the 6 foot distancing and mask recommendations.

Go to your original post. Hit the edit button. Then in the lower right of the window hit the "Go Advanced" button. From there you can edit your title.. :coolsmiley:

[Marvic 1]

I was there the day before and it was the same. Many people no mask and within 6 ft. Red Sauce do something about this!!!!

Like I said before on the first page of this thread - They (Restaurant Owners) don't give a shix about you or me all they want is our money, wait until they are allow to open for seating its going to get worst....
Read on here that they are making customers wait a long time and then sending them home with cold food, Shame!

[jet10s]

Along with "stupid"you might want to add "arrogant, insensitive, uncaring, narcissistic, self-centered" and a host of other descriptive terms. I don't enjoy wearing a mask, but I do it show others that I respect their lives as much as my own. And, remember, PennBF, not wearing a mask is their way of saying " I care about no one but myself and the rest of you can go to H---". Pity them. If you are a person of faith, pray for them.
YOU just do not understand science -- ridiculous comments -- all of them

[ColdNoMore]

Interesting fact. USA, with a strict lockdown policy vs Sweden, who kept open

USA 6.56 deaths per million

Sweden 3.96 deaths per million

Where in the heck did you get those ridiculous...fake news numbers?

Never mind...I can guess. :oops:

USA 165 deaths per million

Sweden 215 deaths per million

Which means we would have almost 70,000 deaths instead of 53,846...as of today.


FACTS MATTER.

Time of day and reporting source of numbers may vary a bit, but they are still close enough...to make them very similar.

Sweden 3.96 deaths per million. :oops:
