When will Village clubs be able to hold large meetings

[aletarw]

I read somewhere that the Villages will not allow large group meetings in the rec centers until October. Is that true?

Can anyone provide a link to info about this.

[thelegges]

So far all of our clubs have no definitive answer From TV when we will be having meetings since each is over 600 members.

Our small group can meet, but only using The tables that fit in the room at 6’. So it was decided to split up group.

[Stu from NYC]

Nobody seems to have any idea when the clubs can hold meetings again

Phase 3!

I don't think anyone knows for certain, but I believe that the people who will make that decision will please some and annoy others and that those people are probably not trying to do either, but to think what is the safest way to deal with this ongoing real problem, especially since it affects the age group who lives here in The Villages more than any other age group.


I have my umbrella with me that says "I am not paranoid" and I sometimes hit people with it.

Remember...even if you are paranoid it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you! :D

Looks like 2023 at the earliest.

They haven’t even allowed all of the OUTDOOR sports to resume. Indoors you can only “meet” if everyone sits at separate tables 6 feet apart. That makes room capacity about 10 in smaller rooms to maybe 24 in bigger rooms.

I’m kind of thinking it won’t be be allowed in our lifetimes.

That is because people are still dying from it. 80% of all people who have died from Covid-19 are the same age as most of us Villagers.

An old friend from Ohio died from it day before yesterday. Their family is much like ours and probably yours. I have known all four generations of these good folks.

This morning their daughter posted on Facebook to pray for their mother, his wife. She is sick with Covid-19. They can't make plans for a funeral for their dad.

This virus will be gone in the very near future just wait and see!!!!

Scientists have deployed a new meter that can measure a person's feelings of safety.

It is attached to the brain of an elderly female villager.

When the meter goes into the green "I feel safe now" range, the whole world will be allowed to re open.

[pmken2]

I thought I saw in the Rec News that no clubs until October. Could be wrong.

Tell them to ask the doctor about Ivermectin. It was tested in Australia in a test tube in March and killed covid19. It was recently tested on 100 covid patients and they all recovered in 7 days. Its an existing medication with no serious side affects

Medical experts at Columbia University mathematically calculated that IF the US had shut down ONLY 2 weeks earlier that about 60,000 more Americans would still be alive. You can Google that!

I guess that depends on the definition of golf as a sport?

I sure do hope so. I packed a great deal of members in my group and it would not be a safe thing for many of us with age on our side. We are using Zoom and newsletters to old meetings and it is working out very well. Yes, it would be nice to see everyone but not if someone is going to die because of it. Get out and walk and talk to people at a distance. It is good for your mind.

[boobear51751]

They need to do thousands of test before anyone should even think about trying this medication. A handful of test people is not a test for the world. It will take a long time. I worked in that field and know that this is not going to be an overnight recovery or a magic pill is not just going to appear.

That is what we keep hearing but sooner would be better of course

My mother, raised on a farm, wife of a minister use to always tell us to be careful as "your a long time dead". An appropriate thought today for those who disregard the risks of this terrible virus and pretend all is fine.:ho:

[JoelJohnson]

Maybe when:
The virus has gone away
There is a vaccine
There is cure
There is enough testing to show how the cases are really going.
We get an accurate count of how many really died of this virus (including those that have died at home or nursing homes).

The virus is like a snipper, you never know where or when it will strike, it's just out there and you'll never see it.

I moved to the Villages in January basically for the activities in the rec centers. Darn, according to this, I'll be waiting 2 to 20 years or longer.

You cannot underestimate how much you underestimate "elderly female villagers".

So you don’t go out during a Flu season?

What year?

I think those who are just itching to have packed rallies/parties without masks, should be allowed to do so...starting immediately.

And the party should last 14 days, another way to thin the herd.

[Stu from NYC]

wow you guys are a tough crowd

[davem4616]

it will certainly be grand when we can all get together with our friends in the various clubs that we belong to...
until then....we all had lives before we came here...so live your life

so, who knows...certainly no one on this forum knows anything that is cast in concrete....we just need to suck it up and wait awhile longer

look at it this way...we'll be able to say to the 'new bees' ...'well before the pandemic life in TV as like xyz...' (if they will actually care to listen)

Here is a letter that all club leaders have received from the rec department.
Hello:
Thank you for returning your resident lifestyle volunteer group intention forms. We will now begin
working on best practices to manage the resident lifestyle volunteer groups in this new norm.
Group meetings will not be the same as prior to COVID-19. Your currently scheduled meeting days,
times and room capacity will be modified to allow for social distancing, ample time to enter and exit
facilities, clean rooms and set-up for the next club/activity. Equipment and supplies will also be limited
to protect you and your participants.
The return of resident lifestyle groups will begin in phases in a slow organized manner. Cards and Board
Games because of high touch opportunities and social clubs with large participation will be phased in at
a later date with restrictive guidelines.
RLVG leaders will meet, in advance of their first meeting, with staff to review new room set-ups and
expectations. We appreciate your cooperation, understanding and patience as we work in partnership
to navigate and learn new and safer ways to enjoy the lifestyle opportunities here in The Villages.
If you have additional questions, please email RecreationDepartment@districtgov.org your information
and we’ll be happy to respond via email or telephone.
Important changes and announcement will continue to be published in The Villages Recreation &
Parks News, posted on Village Community Development Districts (http://www.DistrictGov.org) as well as sent out in our e-Notifications.
