Not a problem 99 percent recovery rate no worries

I'm not surprised. When I see people in Publix without a mask, I think they are exactly the same as this couple. They feel self entitled, and don't care if there are consequences to their me me me adolescent behavior.

Perhaps, but what do you do if you have a medical emergency unrelated to Covid and hospitals cannot admit you because all beds are taken up with Covid patients? No worries? Or perhaps you are just being facetious.

Please reread what I actually wrote. I didn't say they are breaking the law. They are "skirting" the law and looking for loopholes.

Look at Safe Ship story on todays D
aily Sun Local News . Three wearing and 1 customer on left not wearing mask. Where is “No shirt, no shoes, no mask = no service”?

Again, doing more research would be useful. There are no laws against Canadians flying into the US. Therefore, there is no "skirting."

I don't see how you can interpret this:

as anything other than an accusation that a law was broken and the action was wrong. Neither is necessarily true.

When the airport personnel found out they were positive for COVID, they should have called health officials to take them or at least escorted them out of the airport. I don't know what the process should have been but they should not have been allowed to stay in the airport.

:ohdear::shocked::ohdear::shocked::ohdear::shocked :

We live in a "greed is good" type of world right now. It could take years to go back to a truly humanitarian world in the US. We are scarred. What you describe is the ULTIMATE "greed" - being willing to KILL others just to have convenient travel for themselves. ........the Fish is Rotting to its Core ! Just further evidence that we live in a pre and a post CV world. Will we EVER truly return to "NORMAL" ?

Yes we will. Human kindness is legendary. It has not gone away. There is just an emphasis on the immediate dangers we are facing right now. Normal will return. But for me it’s going to be a lot better because we used to have colds and flus and stomach aches several times a year. Well, not this year! My home has never been cleaner.

We have always had “Judas” es and always will. It is possible the couple was ignorant rather than just being plain evil. These types of people have always been among us.

Did you not have a choice in the matter? :confused: I know the Canada–United States border is still closed...... that's not what I mean. I'm thinking you came here on vacation because you wanted too. Not because you had too.
My wife is Canadian and we changed our plans to go there this summer. We were also going to visit the grandkids in New York. I know there are rules we can all follow that allow us to travel...... just thought it best for all to cancel.
Anyway, enjoy your vacation and stay safe. :ho:

Strange to attack the messenger. The message is about the callous and deadly dangerous indifference shown by the couple with the CV.

Not just strange, but downright sad. That’s what that particular poster does, attack people who ask reasonable questions or try to share interesting information. The poster obviously dislikes Villagers who are not full time residents and somehow thinks that if you own a second home, you are going on Vacation when you are at your Villages home.

Canada-U.S. land-border closure has been extended to Dec. 21 - the air border, ie. flights, have never been closed. The OP is well within her rights to fly always was.

"ANYONE" locally walking around INDOORS anywhere like Walmart, Publix, Home Depot, or even a church is endangering others if they are NOT following CDC guidelines for CV, one of which is the wearing of a mask. We do NOT have universal testing in the US because the DPA has YET to be enacted - we don't have enough testing materials and equipment today. Therefore, no one knows who is CV positive. Doctors say it is best to just ASSUME that every human you walk by has CV. In the near future, we will get "at home", inexpensive tests. People breaking CDC guidelines locally are, to me, just as bad as the lawbreakers going on an aircraft flight. The ONLY difference is that the Airline Industry has the power and the will to make it an arrestable LAW. Locally we are NOT afforded those RIGHTS. Why are Airlines ANY different than ANY indoor situation. And please - I know about air recirculation - the air terminals where you wait are REALLY contagious also. The difference is the POWER and the WILL !

You are NOT the villain in this small drama.
