Have you seen the bars in the evening? No masks and no social distancing.

When you got to bars you risk catching lots of things? :popcorn:

Geez. I didn''t know that we were dancing in the squares every night.

There was a commenter who corrected that. They originally said that the Villages has 12 golf courses and I wrote in to correct that. They raised it but still didn't get it right.

2 days later. I think that was a select group and a small group compared to vast numbers staying home. Squares, churches, recreation centers, movies closed except brief openings with good hygiene. Most people in Walmart, Winn Dixie, Lowe’s have been wearing masks for months. I see people social distancing in driveways frequently but not large groups. I do admit I did see one club packed in like sardines and I let them know that was not in their best interest. They were better at the next event.

I see people gathered at the pond across from Lake Miona Rec Center every evening. They are close and no one is wearing a mask.

Correction: July 20, 2020
Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated the number of golf courses in the Villages, Fla. It has 55, not 12. (There are 12 championship golf courses.) The error was repeated in a picture caption.

And thaat is not correct either. It's 59 executive courses and 12 championship.

Wear a mask all the time and keep social distancing is crucial

NYT is a shell of its former self.

I've seen people around, very close to each other, not wearing masks, including someone that I know that just came from Ft Lauderdale from visiting his children. This is not safe behavior. We are a very vulnerable group! Wearing a mask protects us and others.

Your right, too many people think they cannot get it.

People are not wearing masks
 
I've seen many people here at the Villages without masks.if we start not wearing masks in 3 months we'll be like South Florida. The only difference is that we are a more vulnerable group of people! We have to take extra care of ourselves and follow all the guidelines!

I think the point is that the prisoners are not out in our community spreading the virus.

I had a doctors appointment today and not even half of the people were wearing masks. What is up with that?

Which doctor's office is not following CDC guidelines? Please let me know so I will not ever use that office.
