The good news....They did a very good job of covering the event.

The bad news....easily more than half of those on camera or in the crowd did not wear a mask.

One could only reach one conclusion from watching the video...most residents do not subscribe to wearing a mask (translated.....they don't give a (bleep) about containing the virus!!)

Snowbird here, at my current location everybody wears masks...EVERYONE.

I can’t tell you how comforting that is when I leave the house, just seems everybody cares. There’s no whining, “I can’t breathe”, or this infringes on my rights. Everyone just does it. We were once one of the initial epicenters, now one of the safest.

My message here is you all will feel so much better if everyone would just get on board with a simple change in habits. Wish everyone could see the light.

Rally
 
Temperature is taken at entry point, mask offered.... No hateful comments, thankfully we are still able to make decisions about how we choose to live. Those that felt unsafe, sick or scared did not attend.

not all of them. There were many behind him without masks. Including the gov and his wife.

storm shutters; that's what we called them in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up

It was a great event attended by many - not just Villagers. Your choice to stay home and watch it on TV. Your choice to attend. Thank goodness we still have a choice these days! Take care of yourself and be happy.

If you want to stay home and rot, by all means. Stop telling everyone how to live their lives. Good luck with a vaccine. And for those of you who love the CDC, a study recently released stated that 85 percent of people who caught covid wear masks.

This is really nice to hear. We visited our son in Brooklyn, NY. We were warned that masks are required all the time outside. There were kids playing soccer in masks. People walking on the street, not even near anyone, wearing a mask. This community has been through a lot but they are also a well knit community that supports each other and doing their best to get through this. My question - why not the whole country. Answer - Trump and his band of followers.

Can you share the study?

Have you been to any outside bars in the Villages?...Masks are not required... Do your own thing and quit complaining..

I can’t believe you said that. Of course they wouldn’t do that.

Hplaw 10-24-2020 06:37 AM

Cumo dictated everyone must wear masks or threaten with fines. Everyone’s choice to cooperate or follow orders? The demonstrators with no masks ? No comments on that one.
